Panic: When I need to quickly recover health, prevent additional damage, etc.
Cooldowns: When I want to blow my DPS cooldowns and throw in extra firepower.
Ground AOE: When I would like to click to target an area effect spell for the characters that have such an ability.

Activate Proc: In World of Warcraft, it is typical to have some ability to build up to or that randomly becomes available.
PVP AOE DPS Rotation: Similar to AOE DPS Rotation, but optimizing for PVP attacks.
PVP DPS Rotation: Similar to DPS Rotation, but optimizing for PVP attacks.
AOE DPS Rotation: Similar to DPS Rotation, but this time optimizing for attacks that hit multiple enemies.
My healer might heal, the tank will do tank stuff, and the DPS will do DPS. I hit this when I want each of my guys to do their standard combat rotations.
DPS Rotation: My standard combat spam hotkey.
Here's an example list of Hotkeys I came up with for my own configuration The Mapped Keys for these standard things belong most naturally in the Non-combat (non-WoW) or General (WoW) Key Map. See Common modifications: The game's Action Bars for more on that. Those things are not usually class-specific, and can usually be done with standard Mapped Keys from the Mapped Key Wizard, or Repeater Regions, along with in-game features like Action Bars. I'm not going to include standard things like eat, drink, sit/stand, reset camera, mount/dismount, and so on. The basic idea behind this guide is to build a universal set of Hotkeys that, ideally, you can use to play your game pretty much the same way from any window with any set of classes (which each have their own abilities, rotations, and so on).
