Ruling Master and Dusk balls

Let's say I play and 3 dusk balls at the same time. Can I take 7 cards separately from the top of my deck, put it aside and repeat the process again 2 more times? This isn't cheating as I didn't take 21 cards in one go, just 7 cards separately and putting them aside separately.

If I play 3 pokeballs at once, flip first then search or can I flip all at one go then search all at once?

1. you'd have to do them one at a time (effect, shuffle, repeat, other copy's effect, etc.)

2. I don't see why not... but it's probably not allowed...
 
The important key phrase on Dusk/Master Ball is Shuffle your deck afterwards. You have to do it separately because the top/bottom 7 cards won't be the same after the shuffle. That's why you can't put 7 cards aside separately for each Dusk/Master ball.

For the Poke Ball case, you can flip 3 coins and take 1 Basic or Evolution card from your deck for each heads because there's no order (i.e. top/bottom 7) to follow, you are looking for a specific card from your deck.
 
You have to do it one at a time for each. When you play those cards it requires you to shuffle your deck. Each time you shuffle you are changing the order of your deck. So, if you only shuffle once it can affect the game state.
