That second video looks interesting. It looks like he's using a controller? I really hope what I'm trying to achieve is possible with just the WoW API in 7.0.

They don't allow automated behaviour, but none of this is automated anyway. You're still actively deciding when to do something and it only does a single thing anyway. The fact that several inputs are involved is only considered automation if you read the terms of use word by word, but instead consider the behaviour they are trying to prevent with these rules.

Automation or scripting would call for an infraction if you're doing things like chaining your entire rotation to a single button, but multi-boxing is allowed because you're still in control of your characters. I'm just talking out of my ass since I'm not affiliated with Blizzard, but as long as you're not trying to "hack" the game or the experience it wants to be, you should be fine.
This is pretty much what I was thinking. Thanks for the info.
