I'm very curious what your escape from fear is, and how much you rely on passive healing vs. running away and casting heals...

Until they announed the removal of Cleanse for rets I was doing a rotation scheme. See this thread:
http://www.dual-boxing.com/showthread.php?t=29414
But now that Cleanse is going away I'm trying to get used to not depend on it anymore, and when a fear bomb I just spam trinket on all 5. It doesn't feel much more different but maybe it's because as I'm in almost full Wrathful gear my survivability went up a lot.
Regarding the healing part. I rarely stop to cast heals, I only do that if i'm out of sight from their dps. In the middle of the fight stopping to cast heals doesn't do much if there's 3 of their DPS focusing one of me and I have MS on me.
What I do is no matter what I alyways choose the target closest to me, usually a melee, and when deathgrip is ready I DG one of the healers to interrupt him.
The reason for this is as long as the paladins are in close combat and they keep hitting someting Art of War is always up, and I mean ALWAYS. Not necessarily on all the paladins but at least 2 out of 4 have it up all the time. The moment I can't hit something I'm dead. So my top priority is to hit something no matter what. Sometimes I even hit a hunter or warlock pet just to hit something. That procs my AoW and gives me time to wait until DG is up again.
But many teams get smart and they realize this and their melees run away from me as long as I start pounding on them. Or the hunter/lock pulls the pet away from me. These are the teams that beat me most of the time.
I remember a match where they had 3 healers and 2 MS warriors. They just coudln't kill me no matter how much they were Bladestorming me. The whole game was me switching between the 2 warriors back and forth until I could DG one of the healers and I killed him in one shot literally because I used Wings at that moment on pallies. After that the other 2 healers were low on mana so it was game over. 2 dps can't take me down no matter what and I never run OOM. Actually the more I hit something the more my mana goes up.
how do you only cast heals on the characters that have the instant cast ready? and how do you target heals, do u have a different heal button for each of your 5 targets (+1 pet ?) targets?
also, what are your system specs? I'm becoming interested in 5 boxing now after reading this lol
I don't know if he uses a similar setup, but when I play my mixed melee group my ret paladin has a /stopcasting /cast [@targettarget] flash of light macro.... That way if it is not an instant cast it instantly stops and does my next dps ability.
do you mean
/cast flash of light
/stopcasting
??
What I do is I keep spamming IWT after spamming the heal button for the pally that is low, that way if it's not an instant heal it stops casting immediatelly because IWT causes the char to move.
