Well after my annoyance at having to spam the macros multiple times to use the different attacks I altered them a little. While never truly optimal for a max dps rotation they do a fair job at keeping the non-gcd attacks on cooldown. It at least makes leveling mindless and if you're bad at manually keeping them on cooldown its certainly higher dps. I didn't bother macroing it to straight shot so I can see the gcd easily but I'm sure anyone could figure that macro out.

If anyone comes up with a more elegant and effective solution I'm all ears.

/ac "Venomous Bite" <t>
/wait 1
/ac "Misery's End" <t>
/ac "Bloodletter" <t>

/ac "Heavy Shot" <t>
/wait 1
/ac "Misery's End" <t>
/ac "Bloodletter" <t>

The problem with this is the GCD would get in the way sometimes and you'd have a lower chance to cast ME or BL unless you spammed, which is what you're trying to avoid? With the regular macro posted several times, all it does is casts first which is available, whether it's ME, BL, or your GCD skill (though with Straight Shot you'll want that first for the crit buff).

What I do is this when I'm button pressing (not spam pressing): 1 (Straight shot macro) 2 (Windbite Macro, launches BL), 2 again (Launches WB), 3 (Venomous Bite macro), then constantly pressing 4 unless I get the Straighter Shot proc, or if Flaming Arrow is out of cooldown. It isn't really spamming and it lets me keep my cool as I watch my DoTs, which is vital for your DPS (I swear my DPS almost doubled after I picked up Windbite)

There's an easy fix to that. Add /micon "Skill Name" to the top, i.e.:

/micon "Venomous Bite"
/ac "Venomous Bite" <t>
/wait 1
/ac "Misery's End" <t>
/ac "Bloodletter" <t>

That will show the icon for the actual skill, including TP cost for rangefinding.
