I too have a bear tank (he's called MooBash, he's a Tauren)

I alternate his usage between DPS and tanking (I sometimes let my hunter pet tank)

These are 2 command which switch:

To Tank

<<MooBash>>
Groupset MooBash,Tank
cast !Bear Form
msg Bash Is Now Tank
System Status 2,Bash Is Tank

To DPS

<<MooBash>>
Groupset MooBash,DPS
macro /cancelform
msg Bash is now DPS
System Status 2,Bash Is DPS

Some things to note:

• Groupset changes the group for a toon
• cast !<form> will only change into the form (where cast <form> will toggle
• System Status 2,<Message> puts a message in the Addon's HUD (there are 3 status lines, this uses line 2)

One of my DPS spells is:

When bash is in bear form, he won't take part, but when in caster form, he will.

As for my tank spells, (swipe etc) I tend to use them manually. In general, my number keys (1-0 above the keys) for when I'm controlling a toon manually, and use the F keys (1 thru 6) or so to cast DPS. That means I know that, whenever I have manual control, I just hit 1,2,3,4 etc, and for support form DPS, I hit F1,F2,F3 etc.

There is no rule about this though, you could set up any bear ability in a spell, just use tank as the target.

To get really clever, you could actually call both spells from one key.

Say you create 2 spells called DPS1 and Tank1
You could call the both by writing a command:

Cast DPS1 from DPS
Cast Tank1 from Tank

And bind it to a key.

This would then mean you could hit one key, and your tank will do an action based on his group. This seems initially complex, but is easy a framework that you can build on to do some really cool stuff.

Tip
You can issue a manual command (in my case swipe on the number 2 key) by hovering over the small character window, rather than having to find the full window and move all the way across. It's often easier to find a toon in a hurry that way. So if my hunter is leader, I can still quickly grab some aggro with the tank.

I see all these cool things you guys do but I have no idea how to use them.

You can create a new command in Advanced View. Click Views/Advanced, click the "Add" button in the lower left. Name it and then you can past our scripts or write your own. Click save when your finished. You can now bind it to a key by clicking Views/Show Keys then click the key you want it bound to a select that command.

Hope this helps
