For me, I don't really like cast sequences and tons of macros. I do use the "nuke the screen" macro for POM/FS as described in the leveling thread.
For "normal" Flamestrike, I have a combat broadcast hotkey "Ctrl+R+Click". On each of my mages, I bound "Ctrl R" to a flame strike icon on the top status bar (not the action bar...or whatever it is called). I press control+r and position the circle and click. You need to make sure the camera's in all the mages are somewhat pointing the right way. Sometimes you miss.![]()
I have frost nova on a round robin Ctrl+F. When I line of site pull with my warrior back to my mages, I frost nova the pack, which gives me time to launch flame strike without too much stress. I also have frost nova bound to 6 on all mages for emergency runners.
When blitzing, I often don't flame strike. For example, the trash undead in live strat I just blitz, frost nova and arcane explosion/holy nova. AE is bound to 7 and holy nova is bound to 8 so I can spam one without the other as needed.
When not tanking a boss, my warrior's cleave is bound to 7 so he actually does something instead of just auto attacking (I have different bar for tanking bosses).
There really is no wrong configuration, it is all what you learn and muscle memory. I could probably setup something more efficient but haven't had any real issues. I get more frustrated with broke follows and forgetting to turn off broadcasting. I swear 90% of my wipes are due to those issues more than anything.
