You only need one line per LED, then use PWM to control the brightness.
(This might be what you said in the rest of the post.  I got a bit confused,
but it may have been a long winded say to say "PWM").  Anything over 100Hz
should be fine, which means you can easily control a number of LEDs using
software PWM from a timer interrupt.
