    Default

    You can have multiple spam mapped keys set up, each targeting an Action Target Group.
    I did this with two of the Elemental Shamans, back when I was running 1x Prot Paladin, 1x Demo Warlock, 2x Elemental Shaman and 1x Elemental/Resto Shaman.

    The dual-spec shaman was always in the Healer (Action Target Group), but the other two Shaman were the target of a toggle mapped key.
    Essentially the group had two modes:
    a) 1x Prot Pally, 1x Demo Warlock, 3x Elemental Shaman
    b) 1x Prot Pally, 1x Demo Warlock, 2x Elemental Shaman, 1x Resto Shaman

    My Repeater Region broadcast the clicks to the Healer ATG.
    My DPS Spam mapped key, used another ATG as the target.

    When I changed the dual-spec shaman to Resto mode, my toggle would move them out of the DPS ATG and would move the other two shaman out of the Healer ATG.
    When I changed the dual-spec shaman to Elemental mode, the toggle would move them into the DPS ATG and would move the other two shaman into the Healer ATG.

    The only caveat, at the time I needed to have at least one character in each of the ATGs when the team was launched, for IS Boxer to recognize the ATG.
    So the default was two Shaman in the DPS ATG and one Shaman in the Healer ATG initially at the point of team lauch, irregardless of the actual in-game spec of the dual-spec shaman.





    You can have multiple spam keys set up for a team too.

    My Holy Paladin team has two mapped keys, both with the hot key: 1.
    By default the first (DPS Mode) is enabled, and the second (Heal Mode) is disabled (via an option under Advanced).

    I use two mapped keys to toggle into each mode.

    The first has a hot key (Control + Left Click, one way & Control + Right Click, the other way).
    That runs the other mapped key, which targets the entire group of Paladins but with Round-Robin checked.
    The second mapped key for toggles enables one of the two spam keys and disables the other, for the current window.
    If I didn't need them to round-robin (have one change at a time), I could do away with the first mapped key that calls the second.

    In practice, if I Control + Left Click on a grid frame, one Paladin disables DPS and enables HEAL mode and sets that frame to their focus.
    They then run the same pair of @focus macros as the Paladin healer on the DK Manifesto.
    When I Control + Right Click anywhere, the focus is cleared and because the ATG is the same the Paladins leave HEAL mode for DPS mode in the same order.




    While Warcraft won't accept macro changes from the IS Boxer addon (without a reload), you can freely activate and/or deactivate a mapped key (or pair of opposite mapped keys) in or out of combat.
    You can also add/remove characters from an ATG while in combat.
