Wow I cannot get over how fun multi-boxing is! It's fairly stress-free when its just me running around soloing (with myself?) but grouping up with other people is the ultimate test of multi-tasking. Juggling between pulling with the bard, twisting songs, using monk abilities, and keeping both characters in range/sight of the mob is pretty intense! If myself or the tank can hold aggro then it's no problem, but when we get adds and mobs start running all over the place it can get pretty nuts trying to keep up with everything!
Rather than running two instances of the game, I'm using two computers side by side. I feel like it allows me to continuously control both simultaneously, where as Alt-Tabbing between windows would just waste time/clicks and probably throw off my bard twisting. It definitely takes some strategy and concentration to keep on track though, and I love it!
I'll admit I have gotten bored of playing single characters in the past. It can be difficult for me to sit in a camping group hitting my same buttons for hours on end. With the second character added in though, there is rarely a moment of downtime and I really have to stay on my toes. It makes time and exp really fly by.
