Castsequence and round robin

[ElectronDF]

I know I can use outside software to do round robin stuff, but I was hoping people found a way to use ingame macros to do it.
For my groups, I have been using buffs to take the place of spaces. For hunters, I used aspect of the hawk, for pallies, I use Blessings, for locks, I have been using curses and DKs I have been stuck without one. I tried blood pressence for my DKs (since I am blood), but it doesn't work well.

The biggest part is I want to death grip round robin. I might just be able to put the abilities I want to round robin on 1 key and then just use software to make it round robin. I was just trying to do it in game. The other part is some groups use more round robins than others.

What are people using for their way to do round robins? And just for fun, what spells are you using in a round robin?

Ingame you need a different macro for each DK.

For example:

DK1 /castsequence Chains of Ice, DG, Blood Strike
DK2 /castsequence DG, Blood Strike, Chains of Ice


I round robin Frost Nova on 7 mages.

I'll be round robin Chain Heal on Shaman.

I would round robin War Stomp if I had enough Taruns.

It would help if you state what ability you are trying to round robin. I dont think using buffs are optimal. I have play Hunters in a while.
This is an acute problem with Pallys. CS and DS share CDs. Here's a CC round robin example.
P1 sequence Hammer of Justice, Exorcism, EX, EX, EX
P2 sequence EX, HoJ, EX, EX, EX
P3 sequence EX, EX, HoJ, EX, EX
P4 sequence EX, EX, EX, HoJ, EX

just use regular dps between stuns.

Abilities that work better (not required, but work better with RR).
Locks: Deathcoil, fear, howl of terror.
DKs: Deathgrip, Chains of Ice, Rune Tap
Hunters: Freezing trap, Scare Beast, Intimidate
Pallies: Repentance, Hammer of Justice, Lay of Hands, Flash Heal or Holy Light

ALL groups: Gift of the Naaru

It's a little longer than some people might have it, but it includes FTL and maintains the position in the cycle regardless of window swaps.

Using templates has made it so much easier to add new abilities (I've got 3 more templates; untargetted multicast, targetted multicast and ground targetted AoE).

If you're wondering why I have such odd keys bound, it's because the arrow keys and [ ] ; ' # , . / fit nicely on the thumbpad of a razer naga, and they all take the full range of modifiers too, unlike some of the numpad keys (needed for FTL).
