Some advice... Hope this helps.

1) keybind your basic shots so that they're all close by one hand. I play SV, so I have 1 as SS, 2 as Black Arrow, 3 as Explosive, 4 as Cobra, 5 as Kill, 6 as Rapid Fire. Arcane is F1, Concussive is F3. F2 is some CC. It does NOT matter if you follow those... my point is make them all easy to press with the hand that's not moving you around.

2) Get and use Power Aura or the built in one. Use a combat text mod or, again, the built in version. Both of these will alert you when abilities are off cooldown. I have a big, annoying red circle in the middle of my screen when Explosive is up. A purple sigil for Black Arrow, etc. I don't need to take my eyes off what's happening to know that a shot is up and I should fire it.

There's more. But making it easy to press a key and fire a shot and to know when your shots are available to be fired will help I think.
