6. Is there a way to keep my 60 mage UI/Macros clean so I can easily switch over for raids/solo farm?

Absolutely. Instead of sending keypresses in your mapped keys, send macros instead. This way you can leave your normal UI intact.

Define them in Game Helpers, make a new macro set "Mage" and put your mage toon in the "Enable macros for ... these highlighted characters". This way you can make a macro set for each class, each using the same macro internal keybinds.

"Frostbolt" ctrl-shift-alt-1 /cast [nochanneling,nodead] Frostbolt
"Frost Nova" ctrl-shift-alt-2 /cast [nochanneling,nodead] Frost Nova
"Cone of Cold" ctrl-shift-alt-3 /cast [nochanneling,nodead] Cone of Cold
"Arcane Explosion" ctrl-shift-alt-4 /cast [nochanneling,nodead] Arcane Explosion
"Evocation" ctrl-shift-alt-5 /cast Evocation
"Polymorph" ctrl-shift-alt-6 /cast [nochanneling,nodead] Polymorph
"Decurse" ctrl-shift-alt-7 /stopcasting [@mouseover,help,nodead] /cast [@mouseover,help,nodead] Remove Lesser Curse
"Blizzard" ctrl-shift-alt-8 /cast Blizzard
"Counterspell" ctrl-shift-alt-9 /stopcasting [harm,nodead] /cast [harm,nodead] Counterspell
etc

Then the mapped key for regular DPS has 1 action: Named WoW Macro "Frostbolt"
The mapped key for AOE DPS has 3 actions: Named WoW Macro "Frost Nova", Named WoW Macro "Cone of Cold", Named WoW Macro "Arcane Explosion"
etc

For the decurse macro to work, you will need to have identical party unitframes across all your toons (e.g sort alphabetically), and use ISBoxer's sync cursor action in a press/release key map. For blizzard to work, you can use ISBoxer's Next Click with VFX action, as demonstrated by MiRai in https://youtu.be/PsAIukHgWgo

Thank you all so much for the information, tips, and all things of the sort to-date.

I'm going to spend considerable time doing ISBoxer, UI and Macro maintenance tomorrow and was hoping I might have a few friends here from the thread/DB community that would like to join me in Discord while I screenshare it and we talk about all things Multibox and Classic!

I'm a voice actor/commentator so I can promise at the very least silky smooth tones

Hi, I'm new to this and saw your macro setup. I setup the Game Helper macros, but didn't know if I should have /click button name selected and put in the skill name.

Also I'm alittle confused on the section after the game helper setup. Mainly the mapped keys and how to set that up in Keys Maps.

And also how it translate to in-game. I mean I don't want to spam ctrl-shift-alt-1 for frost bolt, hurting my hands. Is there something I need to do in wow client itself to make it easier to perform frostbolt with a single key press?

No, you don't need to fill anything in /click button name.

For mapped keys, you could watch some of Mirai's videos on setting up ISBoxer. Especially the ones that explain the Pro Setup.

It's not the idea to spam ctrl-alt-shift-1 yourself. The idea is to make a mapped key with a keybind of your choice that calls this macro. The reason to use ctrl-alt-shift combo is so that the macro binding does not interfere with other bindings you may have.

Usually you will have a "DPS" mapped key for all your toons, and if you use the advanced target groups then each class can have a different set of actions for their DPS, and again a different set of actions for AOE, etc.
