How many of you raid with HB?

None probably. In my experience it doesn't have the required know-how to get through a raid properly. I'm pretty sure that not many, if any of the raid instances are meshed or have the proper scripts to attack and or react to what goes on at what times. Although I would not think that this is impossible because of its support for heroics/normal dungeons. I'm just sure the time hasn't been taken to handle these type of situations yet. I'm not sure if it is the demand or not, but in raid instances there are alot of responses that need to be done according to what is going on at the time and what actual NPC is active and or around and doing what.
Just my thought, I may be wrong. I wouldn't suggest using it at all... Unless you're a healer and using healbot... correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm currently raiding with HB and a slightly modified version of PartyBot. (may make it to public release if all works as planned)
Currently have it properly getting out, and in, AoE mechanics. (Eg; moving out of the void zones during V&T, getting out of meteor rings during Halfus, etc. Will also get in the Arcanotron swirls (sorry, I forget what the name of it is :X))
The bigger issue is with targeting, and ensuring its doing what its supposed to. On certain fights, I've had to script behaviors to occur at certain times. (Eg; on Chimaeron, when the bot is knocked offline, I have it run to the designated stacking spot, and throw down any AOE heals it has)
To be honest; HB is more than capable of dealing with raids, however, the default logic doesn't quite cut it. (Also; we may need to start thinking about implementing support for the spell queue system in WoW, as queuing a spell, and waiting for GCD/stopcasting, can mean the difference between 8k DPS, and 13k DPS.)
Currently running Resto Druid, Resto Shaman, Shadow Priest, Prot War, Frost Mage, and Destro Lock. (Prot war being the main, rest being slaves, running scripted-ish behaviors)

Apoc, OMG I knew this was possible but wasn't sure honestly if it was public. Man...... Please release this. I honestly would know things like this was around and really wouldn't argue if it wasn't, I guess. But that right there, your words truley excite me. I honestly would like to see a freakin screencap of something like this going on if people wouldn't be jealous and report the toon names. Man, that is impressive... You must have some an extreme knowledge-base in programming. I applaud you.
