So, can you click the correct spell without looking at your action bar?

Everyone has to watch ability cooldowns. I don't feel I watched any more or less as a clicker than I do now as a keybinder.

I'm a clicker and I don't keyboard turn. I also was the main tank in a highly competitive raiding guild from Vanilla through Burning Crusade, and we were the top raiding guild on our server. I don't do PvP, though, so no comment on that.

Not speaking for anyone else but I can see the entire screen the whole time while playing a game and I can reliably click anywhere on the screen I want +/- a few pixels within a fraction of a second on my gaming PC.

As a clicker I had to be super-twitchy. Ready to hit off-cooldown abilities sometimes with less than 1 second from seeing the animation to execution. I pulled it off and interrupted regularly as a tank simply because my interrupt ability surpassed most key-binding dps, but it was hard and stressful. Using a gampad is like a walk in the park, it's not even remotely difficult now and I could easily interrupt a 0.5 second cast now.

End result - most clickers are slow, those who are fast are probably stressed to hell. Key-binders can be worse than clickers, but if done with proper skill can be having a much more relaxed time.
You mean a console style gamepad? There aren't nearly enough buttons... how do you get that work?

to be honest i seem to be able to watch my action bar and concentrate on the game just as good. For a sorc i seem to be spamming the same skills so it isnt that difficult to get used to where to move your mouse.

No, a Razer Nos gamepad, similiar to the logitech gamepad. Joystick and all. Not sure what the "right" term for it is.

Can you move your mouse cursor from the spell at Action Bar slot 1, click it, then to the spell at Action bar slot 5, click it, faster than you can type 15 ?
