Original Tip:
Queued commands are your friends, with Rexxar and Misha. You can pull off really nice body blocks, pincer moves, and feints with them.
Writing up all of these will take too long, but to get a feel for how it works, here is how you can do a simple, quick, pincer move with Rexxar and Misha.
Go ahead and practice the below in Try mode. Imagine you want to have Rexxar and Misha converge on a location from two different sides (a pincer envelopment... useful little trick for a tank). You can do so as follows:
Take the location you want to center your pincer move on, and right-click off to one side of it (say, the right side). Misha will head off that way.
Immediately afterward, attack-click an equidistant length off to the left side of the same center attack point referenced in (1) above. Rexxar will head off that way.
Shortly afterward, shift-right-click wherever/whatever you want Rexxar and Misha to converge on for their pincer attack. Rexxar and Misha will turn and converge on the center attack point after they hit the flanking marks you set.
In this way, you will have them each flank different directions, then converge on a central attack point from two directions.
Again, this is just a really simple maneuver. But you can really do badass positioning and very well-coordinated moves, body blocks and attacks with them. For example, you can play around chokes and basically have Misha and Rexxar cordon off an alley by issuing a string of shift-sequence move, attack, move commands. It is slick. :)
