It is general knowledge that keyboard turners and mouse clickers are worse at wow then those who use keybindings and move with their mouse,

go ahead and post some keybindings here I will start

my movement keys even though I do turn with my mouse but sometimes fine tuning is needed is as follows
I - move forward
J - Left
L- Right
K Backwards
U strafe left
O straight Right

Buttons 0-7 I use as my primary keys
; and ' for the longer cooldown buttons space as jump normally
I also use shift 0-7 for aditional spell although being a tank doesn't require that many buttons

Keep In mind I am left handed =) and my mouse buttons is swapped around Also I have a button 3 and 4 that I use for auto run and shapeshifting in my mouse.

LOL, was wondering why you have such a weird layout :p

I have the normal layout for movement...use mouse for running and turning, cept when in a fight, then its just for turning ;)

My spells are keybound to 1 - =

The rest I can click :p
 
Standard right hand keyboard setting with the addition of the ~ key (which is left of 1) bound to seal Vengeance
 
wasd layout, am old school :P, i use 1-6 bound on various bars for my skills (play on a natural stretching to 7 is a royal pia ) so ctrl+n n is pretty usual for me, if healing i have my main heals bound to my mouse for focus casting and my speciality spells on my keybinds shrug, it works
 
Standard when I PvE but I use the mouse only when I PvP with my Hunter (for kiting purposes). I have never used the G-keys on my G15.
 
had a zboard, it only managed one coffee spill and it was pwnd, however my trusty ms natural has been disassembled and scrubbed clean so many times ....

Z-board is/was crap. Merc is more practical
 
Hmmm,Arms war,topping charts in t5/t6 content for dps. Keybinds are,umm,spacebar for jump

Could probably keybind a bit and nail the charts further but our rogues and mages are already complaining =)

They shouldn't complain, they simply suck. Arms warrior should never do more dps than a rogue or mage...

Keybindings, on my mage almost each button is mapped to frost bolt, it helps with the faceroll dps. Every third buttone then is mapped to iceblock, since it is inevetible to pull aggro.

On my hunter, I can prob play without a keyboard, since it is just one button smasshing anyway, and I have mapped that to my mouse already ;)

But on a more serious note, I have only changed the default on one mapped key, and that would be the "`", I use it for my pet attack, return, cast hunters mark macro.
 
werries interesting way to do it

our one frost mage moves using follow, targets using assist and has half the keyboard bound to frostbolt and the other half to iceblock

he then dps by smacking alternate hands down whilst yodeling

Admittedly prepatch I'd be inclined to agree. Post 3.02 however the frost mages and rogues are biting it. Think only person to beat me on last Vasj was a Full t6 frosty mage we had as a guest

53% crit is delicious with Overpower and Execute spam
 
I have my major spells (heals, cleanse) mapped to keys 1-5. Auto-run is on my mouse side button, and I use that plus right-button camera rotation to move around. Alt-[1..4] maps to my Hand spells. Spells I use less frequently like Avenging Wrath or Divine Illumination are simply on the bars, I click them as needed.

Mages have some insance single target dps since the patch, same with rogues. On Theron Gorefiend last night, I was topping the dps (hunter) with 2.9k dps for the fight, with our two mages second and third with 2.5k dps, followed by our 2 rogues ~ 2.3kdps and then the arms warrior with 2.2k and the warlocks with 2.1k.

Vahsj aint a good mob to measure dps against, since people need to focus on other things other than dps, kiting core throwing etc.

Thing to also note is while I had the daunting task of core hunting the frosty couldn't do anything to elementals so his dps was only aimed at Strider/Naga and Vasj

So in comparison to 2 ranged chars who basically had the job of killing big things and standing still vs my melee activities and Elemental hunting ( and the occasional Naga tanking while druids were rooting the strider ) i'd tend to think those singular moments of all-out nuking mobs and not losing by a far margin would mean copious amounts of DPS

This was the first big raid since 3.02 hit for my new spec so we'll see later the week when we go back to Illidan's doorstep :)

Alt+1 - Death Wish (Now Sweeping Strikes that its back in the Arms tree)
Alt+2 - Intimidating Shout
Alt+3 - War Stomp
Alt+Mouse 4 - Piercing Howl (Well, it will be when I have the talent points to get down there again >_<)
