    macros have lately become untrustworthy in that they will occassionally start at the second skill rather than the first (odd, i know). at any rate there's a macro i used for a while in TT when i was tired which generally consisted of "loop icon -> alacrity 8 -> ream -> surf -> 2/3 normals" It worked pretty well at keeping up with cancels at most bosses and maybe missing a couple here and there. It has to be alacrity 8 though due to the amount of time between boss channeling and the cool down of alacrity meshing up together just perfectly. Any other level of alacrity just wont work with that. It might also not work if you have a quicker attack rate than .83 or .91 though I've yet to test with my new 1.00 attack rate considering at this stage in the game I'm tanking less and less and especially less so with ream than by damage output considering my Demon spark -> Demon Onslaught -> Pentrate armor combo adds more hatred on average than "ream ream ream" (only really use ream at the start of boss to get initial hatred, then swap to humanoid, and return to tiger if the DD's are too squishy to survive if they pull aggro off me, then ream again a few times to get aggro back)

    When i first learned about macros, i used them for everything. Now, I don't think i have used one in quite a while. As was said earilier, They are not very trustworthy. Many things can make them go ary. So, my advice is to not use a macro for normal tanking.

    I use only 2 macros:

    1. Ream->Normal->Normal->Ream->Normal->Normal->Normal - for afk tanking when the boss does not have stuns, sleeps etc. skills.

    2. Normal->Normal->Normal->Normal->Normal->Normal->Spark - for afk DDing, also when the boss does not sleep, stun, etc.

    However, you should monitor your char constantly because for some reasons macro really do not behave corectly sometimes.
