Lol. Alt-# is used to change hotkey banks, not cast spells.
Alt + # does cast spells. Shift + # changes hotkey banks, unless you've remapped it.

Im the opposite on heal messages, I dont announce CH's -- i call late heals, which prompts support classes to pad. Fast heals i call, as i do for HoT's so people can make sure they have buff room before it lands.
Knowing when something is slowed is the most important message.
I hate snare binds -- i like to see a message when %T is
Resisting snare, but could care less that someone is snaring it -- thats just something i expect a snare class to do... I dont announce im slashing it, nor do i expect a necro to announce he's dotting it.
I hate the long "roleplayish" key binds. One thing we did on a guild wide scale, was to attach characters to certain things, ie: ## was tash... so for example all people made their keys like:
**** ASSIST ON %T ****
## TASH %T ##
(( DISPELL %T ))
&& MALO %T &&
>> SLOW %T <<
it was really handy because you didnt even have to read the message just the look of it made you know what was landing. This was on PVP tho so mainly it was done so that we could see which people were being debuffed quickly without having to actually read much since in pvp quick assisting and debuffing of multiple targets is key.
