Ok. I have come to the realization that time (at least for me) has caught up with me as far as gaming goes.
I'm 40 and take medication that keeps me calm enough to go out into public without assaulting the disrespectful.
So I ask. What class (if any) is there that I can PvP at least half way with say 10 or less keybinds. Not at level 20 but at 85. I play a Paladin but I am at around 17 keybinds at level 64 and am missing things that as soon as I die I know I should have hit.
Unfortunately it's just more than I can remember at this point.
I thought about a Hunter. Not because I believe they are easy but because I am hoping for less keybinds.
Any thoughts or recommendations? Or should I just accept that this is where I am at now in gaming.
Thanks.

Hunters have the most abilities in the game (at max level), so you should avoid those. You don't have to keybind everything, but for decent PvP it's a must.

Thanks for the replies. I will look at the Frost mage then.

The thing is, nothing has so few keybinds. No class, period. Most are looking at 20-30 keys, and that's regular macros; if we consider alternate spell macros for mouseovers, arena partners and what not, it's even worse.
Priest:
Prayer of Mending, Renew, Power Word: Shield, Flash Heal, Heal, Greater Heal, Divine Hymn, Hymn of Hope, Shadowfiend, Shadow Word: Pain, Devouring Plague, Holy Fire, Smite, Psychic Scream, Dispel Magic, Mass Dispel, Binding Heal, Shackle Undead, Mind Spike, Leap of Faith, Mana Burn, Cure Disease, Mind Blast, Mind Control, Holy Nova, Mind Sear, Shadow Word: Death
Those 27 spells are completelly spec independant. Shadow and Disc add 4 or 5 buttons to that.
That example shows that even without considering specs, there is an overwhelming amount of spells you will need. Granted Shadow won't use all those heals, but the tree adds more binds, making up for that. I'm afraid to succeed, as you've seen, making full use of your abilities is crucial, and there is no such thing as a class with 10 spells to win.

Well, Hospy, I see your point, but he's already spotting 17 keys to bind on his paladin at 64. I believe he fully recognises the abilities' valor. And I just see so much possibly going wrong when facing anyone with full range on their abilities that it doesn't seem worth it. From what he said, I understood he was looking for a class worth at least some viability even on low keybinds. That just won't happen - he may lose to players worse than him for not using the full range of his powers.

Spot on. I thank you all for the replies and may just try Holy instead. I have VuhDo so that will help a little.
Time to suck it up and walk it off I guess. Lol.
Thanks again.

With the use of an addon, such as healbot, etc. I save by keybinding the non-healing stuff, and letting healbot take care of the party spells...
-my 2 cents

I second this, when i used to roll a H pally i had many of my abilities on my healbot, granted I added then gradually, over the span of months. When I had quit my H pally I had all my heals on my healbot, hand of freedom, hand of protection, hand of sacrifice, and cleanse on it.
I would say healbot is a big shortcut from having to make macros and keybinds and can be utilized with your mouse, shift key, and ctrl key. If you are really good maybe add your alt key, i never did because it was close to my windows button and caused my screen to close.
With healbot you will be down to a few moves that you can use offensively if you choose (exocism, holy shock, etc). Judgement though would be a must have, bubble, trinket, any on use trinkets, avengeing wrath, holy wrath, divine plea, divine favor, aura mastery, holy radiance, rebuke, your guardian, turn evil, as will as hammer of justice for keybounding.
I wouldn't keybind some abilities like the cone heal or lay on hands due to not using them at all in arena really. You can macro some together (on use trinkets, divine favor, avenging wrath, your guardian, divine plea), but it will hurt you in the long run if you encounter longer fights that cause you to spread out the healing output. Healbot though will cut your keybinding and it was what i first did when i was first learning keybinding.

regardless of what class you play, you may want to look at using something like the Logitech G13 Advanced Gameboard. this will give you 25+ buttons to keybind and not have to take your hand off of.
