Its very similair to the setup Verb got me doing, its definitely something to try.

I cry when i see ppl using 7890-= and then clicking with the mouse to use their 2nd bar / popbar / sidebars...eek

I click 3 spells only...Prayer of Fortitude, Fade, and Levitate the other 30 ish spells are all bound to keys easilly accesible by my left hand while moving front,back,sideways,strafing...anything, Im always near my movemnt keys.

Foward - E
Back - D
Left - S
Right - F
Strafe L - W
Strafe R - R

That gives you Q, A, Z to bind to aswell as Shift Q,A,Z they work great, then you got the keys on the other side of your movement keys too. T,G,V,T,H

The macro Hemlock posted on the macro thread is awesome..i highly recommend using it.

wow and i thought my stuff was pretty intense, i only have 2 full set of hotkeyed bars + my pet bar

my normal bar ia 1 - = and my 2nd is just shift+1 - shift + =

then the pet button is ctrl + 1 - ctrl + 0 i think it goes to.

but then again me taking .5 extra seconds to hit a button is FAR LESS LIKELY to cause the group to wipe :) silly priests and their importance.

hehe, still going strong with that setup. on my shaman I had EVERY spell bound to a key, including I think 5 or more rank1 versions of the spells. it added up to around 55 active keybindings... all within reach of my left hand, and pressable while running. it can be a hassle to get used to, and trying to remember/juggle them all, but in the end it's worth it. kinda like the transition from full keyboard control to mouselook in the days of quake1...

...and if you think it's overkill, it's not. .5 seconds means life or death in pvp, and the life or death of your group if you're healing.
