2Boxing Tank + Cast via Looking for group randoms.

Ah then i geus ive to try out. But i think putting my tank as lead is better cuz, tanks doesnt have a rotation.
Then i put healbot frame from healers screen to mains screen with ISBoxer orso.

for the tank you more than likely will be using a /castsequence macro (i do on my dk's) and i spam one button. and that is the only thing i do as far as tanking and dps is concerned.

I'm leading on my tank at the moment but thinking it might be useful to try leading from the healer. How do you manage tank movement this way? I've dual-boxed a ranged and melee so get the IWT side, but I'm just wondering how you deal with moving the tank away from aoe (e.g. the fire pillar on 3rd boss in LCoT) or positioning mechanics (like the boss in BRC where you move him in and out of the lava). Do you keep the tank in one place and spam heal? use follow and IWT to move a bit? or is there some sort of mouse broadcasting needed?

I don't lead from the healer, but I do run a full melee group. The most effective movement strategy with them is using strafe. Leaving the tank in one place and spamming heals may work sometimes, but it's also a good way to wipe your group...like the one you mention, Karsh Steelbender. You need to melt the armor in the lava; you also need to get him out of the lava so he doesn't AOE your group to death.

I always prefer to lead with the tank. It makes it easier to micro-manage things like targeting/using things, taunting ads and positioning.

I started duel-boxing about a week ago using a paladin and a disc priest. I lead on the Paladin and have a separate keybind to stop the priest from following once I have gathered up trash/reached the area I intend to fight at. Both my characters are 40 and I only have two macros on the tank. One is the damage rotation and the other is for Consecration/shield. On the priest I have several macros, one that specifically targets my tank and casts shields and renews, and one that casts heals. Then I have separate macros to shield and renew the various party members who join me in the dungeons. Also since I'm disc I have a macro to cast smite, holy fire, and archangel. I can see why it would be easier to lead on the priest since there's a lot more targeting/utility involved, but at the same time if you don't want to use click-to-move on the tank, there is no reason you can't lead on it.
