Heroic CoS tonight, only wiped once on some trash, the bosses didn't come close to scaring me.

Notes to make future tanking much easier...
  • -Get Death Grip & Dark Command onto the same key binding (possibly 'R' since that is Death Grip already, and "Shift+R")
    -Get Death & Decay onto quick to use key (maybe 'F')
    -Get Icebound Fortitude, Lichborne, and Unbreakable Armor separated but easy to use ('G', "Shift+G", 'F' maybe)
    -Create a macro to easily Mark Targets (I forgot the command John, maybe Scott would know too)
    -Decided if Rune Power dumps should go into Frost Strike & Death Coil, or just 1, get that key bound
    -Get tanking Glyphs!!!
    -Get DPS Glyphs (reminder for myself)
    -These are the keys I feel most comfortable with during normal playing [1, 2, 3, 4, r, t, f, g, z, x, c, v, b]. I never use [F1, F2, F3, etc]. Most of these are unused, start finding a good home for them.

All in all, I think it was a pretty good run. John is a very good healer though, so that probably makes up for my lack of experience.

What's the name of it? I was asking John if he knew if there was an add on and he just gave me a macro to use.

Going to try out BaudMark

The Macro version if I decide to go that route:
CODE

/script SetRaidTarget("[target name]",N);

N = 1-8

1 Star
2 Circle
3 Diamond
4 Triangle
5 Moon
6 Square
7 Cross
8 Skull
