    If you want to do this without relying on an addon that could break...

    I've Create three keybinds within Warcraft.




    On the first, I have self cast buffs... things like Water Shield, Inner Fire, Fel Armor, Mage Armor, Moonkin Form etc.
    These are made as a simple cast sequence.

    With a warlock that only wants one buff, I go:
    /castsequence reset=5 Fel Armor,Null

    If I have a shammy in the team, who will be going Water Shield very frequently, I go:
    /castsequence reset=5 Water Shield,,Flametongue Weapon,Null

    In which case the warlock who won't want Fel Armor every 3 minutes, would go:
    /castsequence reset=5 ,,,Fel Armor,Null

    Because of the Null, once you reach that part in the sequence, its done.
    And the reset=5, brings you to the start of the sequence after 5 seconds of not pressing the macro.
    So I spam the hotkey, until the last member of the team has finished casting.
    Or in the case of shammies who need water shield but nothing else, one press is good.




    On the second keybind I go with targetable single target buffs.
    Prior to InnerSpace, I was using a target based assist (slaves target the main).

    Macro's were like this:
    /castsequence [target=targettarget] reset=5 Power Word: Fortitude, Priest Spirit Buff (forget the name), Null

    Now that I have an FTL system (InnerSpace), I go something like:
    /castsequence reset=5 Mark of the Wild, Thorns, Null




    The last macro type is group spells.

    I use these for my self buffs, instead of the single target version.
    They cost twice the mana, and last twice as long.
    But they hit the entire party too.




    Friendly toons who are running by can easily be buffed on a keypress.
    My party gets most of the group buffs on a different keybind.
    And I have the self buffs too.

    An addon as suggested above works well too.
    But addons can have conflicts, might break on patches, or stop being maintained.
    I'm trying to wean addons out of my UI.
    At one point I was using a hundred or so, but down to a dozen or so now.
