As a higly experienced AoE frost mage i HIGHLY suges you do not use any kind of addon for aoe grinding
AoE grinding is about options and quick thinking. Even though there is somewhat of a "rotation" you should never rely on a macro because things will get out of hand and you wont be used to all your oh *!@# buttons
the most important thing is definitely mouse turning, keyboard turning is already pretty noobish, but for AoE its just
WRONG

This is why so many meele-ers run around you in circles. They assume you're a keyboard turning noob that can't keep facing them.
Get a Trakball, BTW. You can keep turning the same direction without having to pick up a mouse.

Guess it depends on how familiar you are with em..I've been using Trakballs since they first came out...doesn't matter how sensitive a mouse is, if you keep turning in the same direction indefinitely, you eventually WILL have to pick the mouse up and move it.

If you're only turning in the same direction indefinitely, then you aren't presenting a challenge for your enemy to figure out your pattern and negate the benefit of constantly moving in the first place. Learn to quickly and frequently switch from turning in one direction to turning in the other.
Who said anything about trying to fool anyone? I'm talking about keeping myself facing the dimwit who's running around me in circles, trying to get behind me so my attacks can't hit him. A lot of them assume I'm either using the keyboard or a mouse, and that continuing to circle in the same direction will eventually give them a momentary opening while I have to lift my mouse off the pad.
Like I said: Doesn't work on someone using a trakball.

Can't you cast blizzard backwards?
