When I played, I six boxed running the show from my 70 enchanter with max AA. You should use the moveutils plugin so your melee can use stick. Cleric group healing is real tricky. I wrote a plugin for that because the desision making process and the reaction time needed was too slow for a macro. There are several good macros that do a good job, but to do it right, you need to compute the mobs dps based on the damage done to the tank and deturmine which heal to use and when to interupt a slow heal for a fast one, and watch the overall groups health at the same time. Good cleric AA and AA heals help alot....

I played with a 70 mage and 70 necro so I had to come up with some solid pet routines that would take advantage of pet disaplines, pet hold, pet heals and dps AA.

Another problem that I had to come up with a fix for was targeting. I passed the spawn ID to everyone in the group using out of band communication. You could use the IRC plugin and a local IRC server to do the same thing.

If I had any confidence at all that my macros and plugins would not end up on some pay site, I would post them.
