This whole thingy is a bit tricky, blizz never said anything about AHK in particular, but they said this

Using any automation software to perform actions that would normally take multiple keystrokes would be considered a violation of our policies. The case that you're describing would definitely be one that I would avoid.

and this
Many a mouse and keyboard have programmable options that allow them to do a bit more than just their standard function. You could potentially program macros that could allow you to do a great deal that we otherwise wouldn't allow, basically automating some functionality.
The rule to keep in mind that it should be one keypress = one action and any external macro should not be able to do anymore more than what an in-game macro can do.

So..

Short of the part where you reposition the mouse, there have been other addons in the past that have done this!

This part may actually be an issue.
