I'm looking for a way to easily turn multiple lines in the Cast Stack on and off. My thought was to add "Tags" to those lines.  A tag would be an optional user enterable text field, one for each entry in the Cast Stack.

Then there would be an MCP/API command which would let you turn those lines on, off, or toggle them.  It would work a lot like ChangeCastStackListBoxItem, but allow you to handle multiple lines in the cast stack (all of those matching the TAG)

ChangeCastStackTaggedItems[Who, Tag, On|Off|Toggle]

So you could add MCP buttons to...

• ChangeCastStackTaggedItems[Mage, Dispel, Toggle]
• ChangeCastStackTaggedItems[All, Interrupt, Toggle]
• ChangeCastStackTaggedItems[All, Debuff, Toggle]

It could be nice to allow multiple tags per cast stack line, but I'm not sure what a good implementation would be for how to handle this.

Some uses I can see for this...

Possible replacement for "Named".  Could could now do Named heals, @Combat buffs, etc

Toggle multiple interrupt powers across toons easily

Have a ward CastStack line without IgnoreDuration, and then have a "MaxHeal" tag that turns on a different CastStack line with the ward with IgnoreDuration on.

Have a "Trash" tag that turns off a lot of the slow Heals when they just aren't needed.

Have a "SaveSlowReuse" tag to turn off the really slow reuse powers you want to have up for the next named.

Turn on/off the cure pot lines for fights where cures are really needed

I am also thinking tagging the Pre/Post cast entries and Announce entries might be useful as well.
