Managing cooldowns properly
Staying calm?

I have most of my macros and keybinds setup for keeping my toons up. Add in others who can pull aggro, and such...

What do you do? H
How do you have your macros setup?
Targeting Keybinds?


Generally what do you do, when you have to control the whole instance? Making the adjustment from DPS variations to Tank and Healer, is killing me.
I don't run with other people in my group much, but I do have a mechanism that works pretty well

I use something like:

/cast [target=focustarget,help] [target=focus] lesser healing wave

for my main healing macro. Focus is my tank. If my tank is targetting a friendly unit, it will heal them. If not, it will heal the tank. The only problem with this macro is lag. When you change targets (as you will when somebody needs a heal), there is a small period of time until the server updates the other client(s) about that change. If you hit the button before that update (around 1/3-1/2 second in my experience), you will heal the tank instead. Unfortunately, I only tend to use this when somebody's in trouble, so time is a factor, but I've adapted to the lag and just have learned to wait a little bit after switches.
