Aelli is known for his multiboxing skills. Multiboxing is when one person plays more than one character at the same time. He plays 4 Shamans (with a Paladin healer) in Arena. He's unstoppable.
Literally.
I'm serious.

This video cracks me up because it shows what happens when you encounter Aelli in arenas:
I know it is highly unlikely I will ever be as good as he is but I can say multiboxing has taught me a lot about team dynamics. I "need" to predict the next move and reaction is much more important when you're playing all the characters. :) I'm learning a lot faster the strengths and weaknesses of classes as well.
Tonight I'm going to try and run an instance. This should be fun. :)
What would you do if you encountered Aelli? I must admit, my first thought would be, "F*cccccccckkkkkkkkk!" LOL.

Haha, yeah - and the inevitable - "He doesn't have a life!" LOL. There are a couple of others and they all have utter dejection when they realize who they are playing.
I want to do all the instances all because I haven't done many (pathetic, I know) but last night I was going to group my higher level toons and try Razorfen Downs for the dynamic of having melee and casters in the same multiboxing team. I didn't get the chance though.
I was thinking about looking at Age of Conan. It seems to be getting good reviews.

A lot of people multibox, but few do it well. You really do have to know the intricacies of a class to pull it off and being aware of what is going on at all times. Most of the BC instances are at a hard-to-impossible level for multi-boxers due to the dynamics involved in a fight.

I agree and that was one of my weak points (being aware and knowing the class). Working with multiple classes I learned more. For example playing my druid solo I rarely used bear form because I wanted the quick rogue type kill. Playing with other toons I used bear to tank and that helped me understand what a Warrior goes through. I may not continue to multibox once I hit 70 but it's a nice way to level toons relatively quickly and I'm learning a lot.
The instances are cool but I am using them to level quicker and I feel confident by the time I hit 70 I won't be hesitant to group for the high-end instances (can't believe I said that). I want to multibox to attack other faction's cities. Like that battle we had in Hillsbrad when the Alliance attacked. Man that was fun (and we won't talk about how bad I played my rogue...I look back now and wonder WTF I was doing).
