I'm not gonna link my armory, i don't want haters to flame at every single flaw i do know i have and for which i don't really care for. I get the job done, so who cares... well a lot of people but not i. I'm just a casual gamers.
My arena rating is only 900, hell, i've been trying them for just two weeks, until my account expires and that i take a break, i don't plan on playing again until cataclysm comes out. My resil is around 1000, and i've been teaming with an arms warrior with 1000 resil, and a holy pally with quest blues and around 300 resil.
Flame me all you want
I just never found any problems with clicking, i don't have problems keeping my target in front of me, i don,t have problems timing my cooldowns and interrupting.
And if you want to flame me more:
Call me a nolife, cuz my life has been a reall puzzle lately.
All i wanted to say is that i'm tired of people thinking theres only a single way to do everything. If clicking works for me, fine. If keybind works for you, great! Just stop calling peoples noobs because they don't play the same way as you do.
@ Ebbikenezer LOL funny thing is if i was 14yrs old(im not)
At least i know that keybinding is better then clicking and keyboardturning (<--ROFL )in almost every conceivable way. Sorry buddy, thanks for playing tho!

So wait... you know you have flaws, but you dont want to fix them? you are admitting to be a casual yet you will argue with what almost every hardcore player does saying you aren't a newb for hurting your potential?
You may not be new to the game but you are hurting your dps (or heals) intentionally by admitting to flaws and saying "idc, im casual lol"

By clicking and keyboard turning you are killing your reaction time POTENTIAL

@MisterSheep: They're not going to stop calling people who do things differently.. n00bs.. scrubs..etc.. because it's human nature. Everyone thinks that the way they do something is superior to other ways, regardless of the enjoyment/comfort received by using those "other ways".
OT: Enjoy the game, play to your style!
/thread for me, no reason to debate further on being neutral towards something.
FOOT PEDALS! Yes! More keybinds that dont require keys on my keyboard!
I have seriously considered moving from WASD to ESDF to free up a couple extra keys but I have been using WASD since EQ days and I really doubt I could get used to it :X
I remember a post on world of ming about some shaman who key bound all of his heals 3 times (one for each party member) in his 3s for the absolute BEST reaction time possible. This also free'd up his target for an additional "Focus". I.e. Have one interrupt macro for his target and one macro for his focus, and he can still heal while keeping his target (without all the mouse over macros etc). This sounded so nuts to me but soooo amazing.

The only reason you can get by with clicking is because this game is incredibly easy, to the point of being ridiculous if you actually play other games.
Go play God of War 3 on chaos mode, and then imagine how impossible it would be to play that if you had to click instead of using a controller. Note that applies to any other sufficiently difficult action game as well, such as Ninja Gaiden 2.

But if I use my mouse to turn how will I click rend? Clicking is inferior, always has been, always will be. To disagree would be like saying driving with one arm is just as good as with two. Sure maybe you can manage it but it's still inferior. Keybind your spells, stop being difficult, and join the master race.

You missed my point completely. You don't have to click when playing GoW 3, in fact you can't just using the default setup. And i'm well aware that action games are better on consoles.
My point, is that if world of warcraft required the same reaction time and fast ability usage as GoW 3 on chaos mode, then being a clicker would be pretty close to impossible.
I'm saying play the console game, and then IMAGINE if you had to play it with a mouse and keyboard without using keybinds of any kind.
Thank you for the links Icpie, you rock. I just wish I could afford one now, and have the time to use it.
OT: As many other posters have already said, clicking is perfectly acceptable, but keybinding is much more efficient. I use to solely click. I did decent dps in pve, and managed to hit 1800 in arenas, but only just barely, with an amazing healer. Since then, I switched to keybinding, pretty much minimized my bars, and set up power auras showing all my abilities and cooldowns in the middle of my screen, but transparent. Without having to keyboard turn and click my abilities, my dps went up nearly 2k, my survivability increased, and I can finally run circles around other people in pvp. Trust me, trying to keyboard turn and then run out of blistering cold on heroic Sindragosa does not work. With everything keybound though, I can instantly turn, strafe out, hit her with at least 2 attacks on the way out, then immediately charge back in, to maximize dps.

The easiest way to explain the clicker versus key binder debate is this:
a very good clicker, can be faster then a key binder, however
The best clicker is in no way, going to be better then the best key binder.
And that could even be proven as simple as: a good keybinder can play without bars on his screen which allows for them to play with a more clean screen which allows for a lot more focus on whats actually going on.
Lets say your playing a FPS, you have all your buttons key-bound my default. Now lets say your really stubborn and decide that you want to make it so you have to be able to use your mouse. You now use keys to aim, and use your mouse to select weapons and shoot. Obviously no one does that..for a reason.
