Question on macro's and handling non-same class teams

[jtjjj21]

Alright, so my question is, for example, If I have a level 15 tank and then a level 15 caster, How will I box this through dungeons?

I understand how macro's work, and I plan to use the Priority macros for both of them, my two questions are:

What tank would you recommend I use? Does it not matter?

And 2nd, How would I arrange my team? I don't want my caster to... follow my warrior after he charges to an enemy. I understand I can just break follow, but that requires me to switch to the slave press a key, then switch back, between each pull

You can unbind your directional buttons from warrior in the keybindings menu. Then you can press Arrow up if you want to break follow on your caster.

Is your aim mainly Pve or PvP?

[jtjjj21]

Oh, sorry, forgot to add that. Going to add in that I'm only going to be boxing for leveling in dungeons. So, PvE

Druid would be the best option at lower level. And also if you can go with skinning. It will stack up decent gold for you.

Having played all tanks in MoP except brewmaster I'd rank them thusly:

1: Paladin--great AoE. Good damage or off heals depending on which you need--easiest to macro for me.
2: Death Knight--it's like the pally with spikey mitigation but does a bit more dmg.
3: Druid--gives crit buff, has charge and good dmg. Hard to use tooth and claw procs in macro.
4: Warrior--lovely tank if you always lead from it, but since I am mostly leading from my hunter I don't like it. To hands on to slave well with jumps and intervenes. Also hard to use certain procs because the nature of rage. (Don't like that about Druid either)

you really can't go wrong with paladin or DK, Druid and warrior work fine also--I used to really champion my bear until I started using the Paladin.

as far as your caster, have him follow-make a button to have him follow/break follow (quick step forward) and you can easily turn him to face your target and pick him back up. I 5 box tsulong and ill have my hunter and healer behind sunbeam and will move my hunter forward and hit follow and the melee will run to him to clear debuffs,,then return to DPS and ill just step back with hunter. You'll become quite proficient at all that as you practice.

Many people bind the arrow keys to only work on the slaves so that all you need to do is tap your down key before you charge in on yourtank. Personally having the tank charge is kind of annoying for multiboxing though, paladins being able to throw their shields is a more comfortable pull mechanic to me.

I didn't think of using the arrow keys, thats a good idea. And as far as the macro's go, just to make sure I'm understanding this fully, I should have a macro on each toon for casting spells? For example, a warlock would have one that did:

/cast DoT1
/cast DoT2
/cast shadowbolt
/cast shadowbolt

And the pally would have one of a similiar rotation?

I've watched a couple youtube videos, but they only show the people playing, not actually how its set up. And all the guides here show all the different ways of setting up, and examples on each individual way, but haven't seen one that's a "This is how I did it, and here is my setup:" kinda-deal.

Right now, I've just got a pally and rogue, set the pally as my Master. Kinda difficult in fights, because when I walk up to a mob, I can't just attack. I've got to move beyond the mob so the rogue will be in range. Is there a better way of doing this? Such as, a macro that will somehow tell the rogue to walk to the mob, and THEN start the attacks? Otherwise before I get to dungeons (and during dungeons) It'll just be a tank with a follower.

You need to read the guides. All of your questions have been answered there.
Also, are you using a multi boxing program?
