    2. A lot of your Wait 2's can be changed to wait 1. But if youre just trying to be safe about it, thats fine.

    With wait 1, I found that the second ability didn't trigger a lot of times. Also, again, alone, Thrill of Battle is an ok heal and it raises your max HP, but that's it. Adding in convalescence, to me, makes the extra HP mean more because it's easier for your healer to use that extra HP. Also, Thrill of Battle goes first because I only use it when I need the heal. If my HP drops down to 2-3K, I go ahead and pop it.

    It sacrifices control for convenience. You don't necessarily want to use all of your abilities on cooldown like that, so why would you glue a bunch of abilities to your Heavy Swing? And what if you only want Thrill of Battle without Convalescence or vice versa?

    Glueing abilities together is simply a substitute for executing your abilities in a more controlled fashion. It might not seem like a huge deal, but it puts you at a disadvantage, one way or another.

    The only thing's I'm using on CD in my macros is Mercy Stoke, which should be used on CD and Blood Bath, which isn't all that good anyway and is best used on CD during a long fight. I mean, why would you save Blood Bath? As far as my other Macro's go, again, by themselves, Foresight and Awareness aren't anything great, but together, it raises your defense a little and makes it harder for you to receive a critical hit. I've already explained above why I think ToB and Convalescence go together perfectly, IMO as well. The macros simply make using these abilities more convenient.
