I have problems with warlocks and mages. When i get fully dotted up, i sometimes tend to panic. Also when i get crowdcontrolled by a good mage i usually lose my focus and get so frustrated that i will go for the mage for some odd reason.

Also i get the tunnel vision problem in 3v3/5v5 sometimes and i tend to miss a pummel occasionally due to trying to rush to dps my opponents (global cooldown ftw).

Sometimes i also have problems targeting other people, but i've started to learn how to use arenamaster for that.

My biggest issue as a healer is that I can not keep my finger out of the jar. I always want to make the very imortant pounce instead of keeping my distance and sneak up and heal with out giving my position away.

I also feel that so far I am only contributing by healing, but if my forward damage would be needed I do not think I could keep both parts up.

Do not matter how much you play, you will never get the carrot.

My biggest issue is that I try to do too much. As a shadow priest I try to burst people down, Mana burn them, it's also typically my job to MD immunity effects and keep an eye on defensive dispells. I'm also pretty hesitant on using my PVP trinket as I'm always thinking "what if I need it at a more crucial moment later?" for the most part.

My biggest problem is being aware of my positioning with regards to the rest of my team. I suffer from tunnel vision like many others and will often run out of LoS of my healers in order to keep on my target. I also need to work on spacing myself apart from teammates to avoid use of AoE type damages affecting the whole team.

Knowing exactly when to Ice Block, and aiming with freeze on a moving target that's really far away. Sooooooo frustrating when I miss.

My biggest problem is when I'm leading my PvP team on Ventrillo I can't focus on my own micro.

I'd also have to say totems, like the op. Tab-wingclip in 2vs2, but in 5vs5 I tend to hope my mage icelances them.

I'd have to say my biggest weaknesses now are breaking CC early when necessary, dispelling CC, and letting frustration affect my game. When I'm CC'd I have a bad habit of deciding to wait it out longer than I should. For CC on my teammates I've not yet gotten that into my situation awareness. I can now see my HP, my team's HP, see where their CCers are, see where the debuffer is, dispell as needed, etc. I can also dispell the warrior pretty quickly. But now I need to work on watching for debuffs on everyone. -_- I hope I haven't reached my multi-task limit. The last one is frustration, if we run into a bad string of games where the matchup screws us, the gear on the other team is insane, we make mistakes we shouldn't, or randomness screws us I get pissed off (top of the list is chain deadly throws right after I've busted my ass to get away). I just have a bad temper in general so I'm not sure if I can help it much beyond knowing when to call it a day.

I find myself ice lancing tremor totems and poison cleansing totems when I'm not with a class that can fear or poison.

If I ever decided to just stick to 1-2 classes, I would keybind everything in a heartbeat, but atm I enjoy variety a little too much.
I have a trick that I use that you may find helpful (if you have any desire to start using keybindings, that is).

I try to classify the skills I use and keep them in similar spots. For example, on my priest, I have Mind Flay bound to 1. On my warlock, I bound Drain Soul to 1 also. The spells I use in sequence prior to each, I have bound decending to 1.

Power Word: Shield/Siphon Life = 4
Mind Blast/CoA = 3
Shadow Word: Pain/Corruption = 2

Another example would be cooldown skills. On my mage, I had Arcane Power bound to F2. On my rogue, I have Cold Blood bound to F2.

I think this helps just to think "I should burn my cooldown" and immediately know where it is based on your own system rather than having to think "Now, where did I put that on this character? And what's that skill look like again?"

Hope this helps!

As for my biggest weakness, I'd have to say it's getting caught up in just racking up kills instead of focusing on the objective and working with my team. So often in WSG or AB, I'll find myself burning cooldowns just so I can get to the Berserking buff before everyone else, then I'll set out to find the nearest clothie to see how high I can crit. Meanwhile, we're losing LM and BS to single players...

I need to work on using my CC abilities as a rogue better.

I tend to get in the mindset that I need to stay on a target and dps him the WHOLE time or I fail, when really stopping dps for 3 seconds to blind a healer and gouge another target before resuming dps can help the rest of the team more than that extra 3 seconds of dps.
Being able to find targets and blind efficiently adds to the above weakness.

While i do keybind most of my abilities and use macros my hand/keyboard setup is unorthodox and pretty sure is holding me back.

Also need to work on my strats against geared warriors and druids.
