I used to run a 1x Healer and 4x DK setup during Cata, MoP, and WoD. Played a ton of arenas in 3s and 5s.


I have a key binding for the following


  • Follow
  • Assist Toggle (turn on/off assist from DPS macros, allows me to split focus)
  • IWT Button (Used for manually do )
  • Click-to-Move Toggle (sometimes I don't want them to move)
  • Auto-IWT Toggle (turns IWT off in my main DPS spam so I can do it manually)
  • Key Binds for SetView 1,2,3,4,5 (so I can easily reset the view on each screen. Also great for multi-gathering)
  • Key Bind for Mouse Broadcast On/Off (also disables CTM, used for about for herb/mines)


I drive with the healer and use Vuhdo at my raid frames. I have Vuhdo setup so all toons are always in ABC order and my isBoxer slots are always in ABC order. This way everything is consistent across all screens and predictable.

Next, I have a setup focus-based Macros for healing. if my focus is not set, my healer does nothing.
If my focus is set, he will starting doing his healing rotation. I use mouse over on the Vuhdo raid frames to heal toons that need it.
At the same time, I an manually controlling the healer's movement to keep him away from enemies and out of bad stuff.

I use a foot pedal for formations and jumping (hey, seems natural right?)


  • Right Mouse == Set Focus
  • Left mouse == Clear Focus
  • Mouse 4 == Big Heal Spell
  • Mouse 5 == OHSHIT
  • Scroll Wheel Up, Spell A
  • Scrool Wheel Down, Spell B



In addition to this, I use a VideoFx with mouse click-through so I can see and click cool downs on individual toons.
For example, say Toon C is getting REKT while everyone else is 100%.
Sure, you could hit your PANIC button to blow your cool downs as a group, but that is a waste.
Instead, my mouse cursor (which is already over the raid frame) can click that toon's PANIC button and save his life
without wasting everyone's cool downs. This also allows you to do neat things like chaining and timing abilities.

For example, Protection Paladins have an ability called "Hand of the Protector". Normally, this will heal for 30% of the missing health.
What I can do instead is hit "Vampiric Blood" on toon C, which increases Health and healing received, hit avenging Wrath on my paladin,
and then do Hand of the protector and heal that almost dead DK to full health. Synchronization is fun!

Now, I don't like a million key-kinds, so I also create a little "control panel" that can do lots of things.
For example, I can turn on/off Death Strike to save runic power, hit bone storm, then turn it back on.
Sure, you could create yet-another-keybind for a separate DPS rotation - but I'd never remember it.

I also have a button to change out key-maps. I use the pro-setup, which uses virtual key maps.
So if I want to change my blood DKS to frost, I can easily do so without restarting anything. Using the control panel, I can change
just that single DK to frost and see what key map is active.
