The general rule is, so long as one key press stays one key press, you're okay. That means that holding a key and having it push repeatedly is sort of a grey area, since the goal is to prevent you from pushing a key and walking away. I would say that it's okay, but if you're ever told in-game not to do it, then clearly you should stop. Using autohotkey for other purposes, like multiboxing, et cetera, is perfectly legal, and this is documented. I'd go with the general rule of something like "Holding to push the same key repeatedly is okay, as is pushing single keys once, but putting in time delays or pushing multiple keys repeatedly when not holding is not okay."

By the way, the Blizzard CMs and GMs aren't always the sole voice of authority. Sometimes they don't have access to all of the information and can give conflicting replies. If you ever really, truly want to find out Blizzard's stance on an issue like this, send them an email and see what they say.
