Unless something has changed recently, I have had this same behavior with all bots that try to cast. I agree that some bots do cast spells that are probably less desirable but overall this is a preference thing. I have edited some of my spells to correct this.
I need to look into stances because by default they appear to be designed for raid targets as a shaman will throw everything including the kitchen sink at a mob. For raids this is fine, for grouping, the shaman will be OOM in a couple of mobs. Not sure if stances fix this. If not, perhaps a feature set request would be to add in a raid and group stance with the database having raid and group flag columns for spells, or something to that affect.
The other problem you will run into, for example, is if a mob is immune to something, such as slow, they will continue to cast that spell over and over until the mob eats them. If there is not a unique message for immunity the only way to correct this is to add code that flags a mob forever or X amount of time after X number of resists. Obviously, all of this takes a lot of time programming.
With that, thanks for all the work you guys have put into designing the bots!
