Shackle
#showtooltip Shackle Undead
/clearfocus [target=focus,dead]
/clearfocus [target=focus,noexists]
/focus [target=focus,noexists]
/stopcasting
/cast [target=focus] Shackle Undead
This is a pretty standard CC macro, except that I've added a /stopcasting. This is because on Moroes I simply couldn't afford to wait for my heal cast to finish if a shackle broke early. /stopcasting in this context let's me hit the button mid-GH cast to start casting shackle.
I was going to make a similar macro for mind control since I use it so much in heroics, but I just don't think I can live long enough in that situation to get a re-mind control off. I've gone for trying to stay alive. Hmmm... since Frost Nova seems to save my life a lot, maybe that would give me enough time. I should make the macro anyway.
Smite
#showtooltip Smite
/script UIErrorsFrame:UnregisterEvent("UI_ERROR_MESSAGE");
/use 13
/use 14
/script UIErrorsFrame:RegisterEvent("UI_ERROR_MESSAGE");
/cast Smite
Another standard macro. The /stopcasting is a matter of preference. I've removed it (it would go before the /cast Smite) so that I can spam the button without interrupting my current cast. If you don't suck as much as I do, you'd put it in and use some kind of latency indicator and hit the button again after you've passed the point of no return in client-server lag. This allows you to start casting a little bit sooner but your spell will still finish. Since I don't really DPS all that often, I'm just lazy and spam the key. As such I have to hit it twice when the trinket is ready. I use TrinketMenu to rotate my four +damage trinkets so /use 13 /use 14 is a compact way to do it.
/stopcasting on a spell such as Power Word: Shield is also useful. For those mortal striking bosses it will help get that shield on faster rather than completing your heal cast (for when that's what you want -- when I reach for the shield key that is what I want, I'll hold off until completion if I wan t the heal to finish).
One problem I have is that since I am bad at remembering to use my trinkets unless I have a macro, I don't use my Bangle of Endless Blessings as often as I should. I've considered macroing it with Renew (if I'm going to get some time out of the 5 second rule, it nearly always follows a Renew), but haven't taken that step yet.
