On all my tanks, all my the abilities can fit onto a 4x6 arrangement plus the six keys typically used for text navigation. 1-6 and alt1-alt6 are attacks/GCDs, while sh1-sh6 and altsh1-altsh6 are cooldowns and dots (if applicable). On the text navigation keys, I have INS-TemperedWill, DEL-Sprint(justincase), HM-Cover, PU-SwordOath, PD-ShieldOath.

Xenosan suggested Legacy movement; I concur. If you find yourself having any movement or camera related issues at all, the solution 99% of the time is to set Legacy on. I also like to have the arrow keys mapped to move forward/back/left/right. W/S are move forward/back, A/D turn camera, Q/E move left/right. Take care that you know the difference between move left/right and stafe left/right; strafing will cause you to back pedal and move left/right won't.

I would recommend using CTRL only if doing two handed chords. If there's a mouse involved, CTRL is a bad idea as it is not in a good spot for single handed chording via thumb cross under or pinky movement.



With two handed chording, the position is left thumb on alt, right thumb on ctrl or shift, left fingers on arrow keys ready to reach for the text nav cluster.
