This has been reported is an accepted bug. In a thread about switching reprisal and shirk I posted a work around I use.

So if your only issue right now is that its not setting it on your hotbar correctly I guess I can help with that. ASSUMING you swap shirk and reprisals spot on your hotbar or whatever this is the macro you should do.

First put shirk on your hotbar in the correct place. ASSUMING its on hotbar one type:

/hotbar copy PLD 1 GLD 6

then put Reprisal in its correct place.

/hotbar copy PLD 1 GLD 5

Then heres your ghetto "toggle" Macro.

/macrolock
/hotbar copy gld 6 gld 7
/hotbar copy gld 5 gld 6
/hotbar copy gld 7 gld 5
/hotbar copy gld 7 pld 1


What it does is:

GLD 5- starts as Reprisal
GLD 6- Starts as Shirk
GLD 7 has nothing in it.
PLD 1- Starts as Reprisal

us the macro

GLD 7- Becomes Shirk hotbar
GLD 6- Shirk hotbar is replaced with Reprisal hotbar
GLD 5- Reprisal hotbar is replaced with Shirk hotbar from the "Toggled on" hotbar of GLD 7
PLD 1- Shirk replaces Reprisal.

Press again

GLD 7- Becomes Reprisal hotbar
GLD 6- Reprisal hotbar changed to shirk...


ETC : D

The entire macro would be:


/macrolock
/hotbar copy gld 6 gld 7
/hotbar copy gld 5 gld 6
/hotbar copy gld 7 gld 5
/hotbar copy gld 7 pld 1
/aaction Reprisal
/aaction Shirk
/aaction Reprisal on
/recast Reprisal
/recast Shirk

I didn't see that they fixed the issue in the patch. :[

You may have to manually switch to Shirk or Reprisal with the correct hotbar showing its active, if you did anything out of order.

Hope this helps if they dont fix your issue in maint!
