Dorandomhotkey just pressed a random hotkey correct? if you put 123 it will just pick one and hit the key.. you still have to put a spell/macro into the key that the hotkey is going to activate. Hotkey doesnt look at cd's and what not its just gonna click a random hotkey that you listed. so even if that fireball spell is off cd.. there's no guarantee that it will be clicked the moment it is off cd.. it could be 3-4 more presses in.
I guess thats the confusing part for me. It seems to me that hotkeys "random" is a true random as opposed to wow's simulated random.
This.

With WoW's old /castrandom you got a spell off with every single keypress. If you had 5 spells and 4 were on CD you had a 100% chance of casting the 5th spell on the next keypress. To get this same result, you would have to hit every spell button at the same time. However, you could use "Dorandomhotkey" for 40 seconds of pressing and still never get that 5th spell to be clicked (the odds of that are small, but long enough to be relevant). The more abilities you tried to map this way the worse it would get. In the end you would be better off taping pennies to your num-pad and one press = 10
