    Help with warrior keybindings

    So i've gotten back into leveling my warrior, and have a slight problem with keybindings. Im currently leveling as prot seeing i raided all tbc as it, and my shield slams crit 6k+ at 72 with trinket/shield block , but i dont use enough keybindings >.<. (before anyone says "Use some more", im really only comfortable with the 21 im using)

    Im just asking for some suggestions on what spells i can "unkeybind" so i can keybind some that i feel are more important.

    Code:
    Current keybindings are:
    
    1. Shockwave
    2. Revenge
    3. Heroic strike (i dont like macroing HS because at my level, i get pretty ragged starved while leveling if i use it)
    4. Taunt
    5/Q Devastate (depending what my hand position is [what my other fingers are doing] changes what key a press)
    F Thunderclap
    R Shield block
    E Shield Slam
    Z intercept ( dont really while leveling, but is a bit situational while in an instance)
    X Charge
    
    extra mouse button 1. Demo shout
    "" 2. Cleave
    
    Shift 1 Concussion blow
    Shift 2 SHield reflection
    SHift 3 Moroes trinket & block value trinket
    Shift 4 Beserker rage (this is one really only for leveling, or when im not getting/needing many heals in an instance and i am rage starved)
    Shift 5 Mocking blow
    
    Shift Q Bloodrage
    Shift R Battle shout
    Shift E Commanding shout
    SHift F Shield Bash
    I dont like Binding last stand/trinkets to other skills, because i like to have oh shit buttons, instead of using them whenever they are up and potentially wasting them.

    I still havent keybinded:
    Commanding shout
    Disarm
    Shield wall
    Intervene
    Last stand
    And maybe Last man standing (human racial).

    SO which keybindings would i be fine with clicking (as apposed to simply pressing the key) and which are required to be binded (i imagine 1-5 qrefzxm1m2 all need to stay as they are).

    Dont start a stupid clicker vs keybinding war please, and dont just post "to long" or wall of text related things.

    Sorry for bad english

    As a tank, I really don't press any buttons with my mouse. This is my keybind set up.

    1: Shield bash
    2: Shield Slam
    3: Revenge
    4: Devastate
    5: Thunder Clap
    6: Shield Block
    Shift 1: Demo shout
    Shift 2: Concussion blow
    Shift 3: Enraged regen
    Shift 4: Challenging shout
    Shift 5: Disarm
    Shift 6: Taunt
    `: Commanding shout
    Shift `: Intimidating shout
    F1: Shockwave
    F2: Bloodrage
    F3: Berserker rage
    F4: Spell reflect
    Mouse wheel down: H strike
    Mouse wheal up: Cleave
    A: Charge/intercept/intervene macro.
    D: Heroic throw
    Shift A: Retaliation macro
    Shift D: Recklessness macro
    F: Shield Wall
    Shift F: last stand
    G: Mocking blow
    Shift G: armor pot
    T & Shift T: 2 trinkets
    Z: Battle Stance
    X: Defensive stance
    Shift X: Will of the forsaken.

    The only things I really push are my health stones, health pots, flasks, other random consumables, mounts, pets etc. With the exception of a few abilities, you either have to have a fast reaction time on them, shield bash, etc, use them as staple abilities, deva, revenge, shockwave, or have to reapply them so often, commanding, and demo, that not having them keybound is either stupid, or annoying. The only things that are really not used enough or are not imporant enough for keybinds on that list are, the retaliation, recklessness macros, disarm, and the armor pot.

    Bind the reaction abilities to your mouse (stuns, charges, intervenes, interrupts)

    Make your defensive cooldowns easy react too also.

    Bind the rest to R, F, C, (D, A, or Q, E depending on what you prefer to strafe with)

    Bbilities you don't use as often set 1-4 since you can't maintain full movement while pressing those keys.


    Make A LOT of macros to condense the amount of keybinds.
    skott#1374 - add me to expand your b.net friends list of reliable players for raiding/arena.

    Video if myself raid healing, raid dps, and raid tanking:
