Boxing with different classes

I'm using an original style G15 gaming keyboard.

That gives me the options for G1-G18 on three different banks of keys, for a total of 54 possible key combinations via hotkey.

With IS Boxer, rather than use them as the key combination option, the G-Keys are recognized as keys themselves; I can attach modifier combinations to them, but aside from MR have not done this often. So rather than pressing G1 and having the keyboard send Alt + Shift + 1 (or whatever), G1 is bound to whatever mapped key I want without the need for a key combination.

I only really use a fraction of the keys.
G1 is everyone Interact With Target.
G13-G17 is switch to that window, as the main (large) window.
G18 is invite everyone on the team to the group, and have them auto accept the invite.
M1 (normally switches to bank of G-keys #1) is enable Key Broadcasting (Repeater) with the light switch on when broadcasting is on, and the M1 light off when broadcasting is off.
M2 is the same, except it is for Mouse Broadcasting.
M3 is the same, except it is for Key Maps (mapped keys -- ie, press this hotkey, do whatever as a result) on.
MR (normally quickly records a macro... which logitech defines as a series of keystrokes and/or modifiers including the timing between keys... which is bannable in Wow and many other games) is instead used as my Auto Report everyone in the BG as AFK key, to be used in retaliation for being reported AFK when I am actively guarding a tower/flag or otherwise actively participating... the hotkey is actually Alt + MR, to ensure it is not accidentally pressed.

What i got out of this:
"Ualaa has a hotkey to report the whole BG".

But being serious, nice list of stuff, i needs a G15 now

Wow... thanks, I installed Healbot. That's the bomb! I guess I would have to expect my lvl 25 Shaman to die when he agros 33 lites lol but healing the team was so much easier than trying to hit combinations of keys or mouse over then hit a key. Awesome recommendation. Did RFK for the first time today, no wipes at all, just the little Shaman dying occassionally. Was even able to keep pets alive with Healbot because it was quick and easy to right or left click to heal. Gonna run RFK a few times to get the Shaman (now 26) and my warlock (33) up. Running Scarlet Monestary fairly quick now except the Cathedral. Got to take that one slow until I get the team balanced out a little more. Would be a little better if I could get Shaman to cast Earth Shock or Lightning Bolt but I prolly have the macro messed up, nevertheless he throws totems down when I want and with healbot he can be a last chance healer if needed since he just stands there with the group in fights. At the moment the team is Pally 44, Hunter 43, Priest 41, Warlock 33 and the Shaman 26. Still need to iron out macros but that will come. Sometimes they just don't work and I'm not catching any messages on screen to get a clue about the problem, but there's a lots going on with 5 toons at once lol. Already thinking about BC and WLK as the group develops. Got pretty much everything tied into my numpad so I can run different sets of macros there while spamming Crusader strike with the other hand with the #2 key and working the mouse if needed.

You can take your team to the target dummies, in most cities.
Spam away at your abilities, and switch from toon to toon, to be sure everything is firing off correctly.

Once the Warlock and Shammy catch up a little, the group will work better.
At the moment, the DPS and Heals are probably a little low for those two.
And they get a little more aggro than they should, due to being lower level.

Looks to be a decent team.
Two healer options, both the Priest and Shammy make a good healer; either is a good a DPS too.
