Hey all...
Wondering if someone either fluent with the inner workings of HB, and/or a CC programmer can answer a few questions for me. If you aren't either of those, please don't post just to speculate.
While the servers are down during the patch, I thought I'd dig into theory-crafting for the toon I enjoy botting the most: my disc. priest. Things are changing quite a bit, and I'm trying to put together some logic to assist Raphus, or anyone who would code a priest CC.
I wonder, can you code a CC to have different spell priorities based on either the buffs on yourself, and/or debuffs on your healing target? I have a few examples of what I mean listed below.
Example A: Each stack of Evangelism (up to 5) if consumed by Archangel, will restore 3% mana, and increase healing by 3% (again that's per stack) for 18 seconds. I'd want the CC to recognize the amount of stacks of Evangelism, and only use Archangel when it stacks up to 5, or if Evangelism was about to fall off (since Archangel costs no mana).
Example B: Detect weakened soul on healing target, and during that period, prioritize using Heal spell to reduce that debuff? I see it as PW:S, Heal, Heal, Heal, (shield breaks and/or wait on Weakened Soul debuff to come off.), PW:S, etc. Else if shield still exists on tank, cast Smite to reduce the CD of Penance, and heal nearby target of mob being attacked, and/or perhaps Renew/PoM/etc. on tank.
Example C: (Note to self: research) After casting PW:S, Borrowed Time procs, which gives you 14% spell haste on next spell. Therefore, force CC to use a spell with a cast time when it recognizes this proc, unless Borrowed Time only is consumed after casting a spell with a casting time, instead of just the next spell (say if it were renew, waste of proc).
Example D: In combat (perhaps always?) keep stack of Grace at 3 on tank, to maximize healing throughput. Perhaps if other people take damage, use PW:S, Renew, PoM, etc. (i.e. spells that don't proc Grace) on them to avoid losing those stacks of Grace on the tank, the one who is going to take the most damage.
That's all for now. Thank you very much for reading.

I even toyed with the idea of (forgive me for not remembering the name) but the fella who made the custom class template creator, figuring that way I can really get it to do exactly what I want. Then I thought "Well, if my ideas are solid, wouldn't everyone want the bot to run this way?". That's what brought me to making this post. Thanks again.
