Thanks for your very detailed reply. Helps me see some other perspectives. A couple of comments:

This statement can be true, if I can only gave 2- 3hours a day to wow then I need to priorotise my time, spend nearly 2 hours in an LFR queue is not time well spent, as my followers are starting to get their ilvls up, the chances of getting gear from missions seems the better alternative, but seeing as i only have 6 toons at max level, and the next nearest at lvl 92 i need to spent time leveling / grinding on those.

3) I don't want to optimize macros.
Its not that I don't want to optimize my macro's, its that I simply do not have a clue, how or where to start, at the momment when it comes to Toons i feel I am a "jack of all classes, master of none!", which is why I rely on the posts within this forum or I would still be running around killing lvl 2 boars.

4) I guess when i first started boxing It was so that I could solo dungeons and farm mounts, yes that challenge has moved up. I am spending £100 a month now on subs for 10 accounts, and really with a baby on the way, how much longer can you justify that.

5) I love the vids that you post and are a great motivator for me.

6)Whats the spec on your 2 pc's?

1 - Doing missions takes quite a bit of time initially. After a while when you have quite a few followers at 645+ ilvl, they take almost no time at all. I probably spend about 10 mins a day on missions for a team of ten toons now since so few of the missions are worth doing. I don't do the gold ones, my toons are purple so don't need the XP ones, and they have all the 645 gear. Really the only ones I do are the Highmaul ones and garrison resource ones.

2 - LFR doesn't take long at all. With two healers and eight DPS (I convert my tanks to DPS for LFR) my queues are less than five minutes and doing the first wing takes about 20 minutes, maybe 30 minutes for the second wing. After doing it once for the legendary quest, I typically avoid the third (one boss) wing.
One other thing, after ebony posted her message about them taking away questing whilst in a raid, I took one team of ten from 93 through 100 in about nine hours. Knowing all the quests, using exp boosting pots the whole time (they've been sitting on 93 for a while collecting 500 garrison resources every few days), and collecting lots of treasures made the leveling process blow by.

3 - My macros are posted in the following thread - I'd advise just using those as they do pretty darn well: http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/5...-Macro-Library

4 - That I completely understand. Real life always comes before WoW.

5 - Good, I'm happy you enjoy them!

6 - They are both about three years old, though I upgraded one with a few new parts recently:
Intel i7 920 2.67 GH
Nvidia GeForce GTX 760
Windows 7 64-bit
16 GB RAM
and
Intel i7 3930 3.20 GHz
Nvidea GeForce GTX 560
Windows 7 64-bit
32 GB RAM

One has an SSD, the other just a normal spinning drive.

Hope that helps!
