    This is incorrect. The only delays related to macros are no ability queueing and /wait command being rounded to full seconds.

    As this is why I created my videos, to correct the misconceptions about Macros.

    I am not watching your videos (at work and no idea why you have a video in the first place), can you list what your macro even is?

    /ac "Twin Snakes"
    /ac "Snap Punch"

    That is a example of the simple macros that I am talking about....

    So, you just spam 1 button, rather than swapping buttons? That isn't so bad. It will be a minor DPS loss, and I wouldn't advise everyone to do it, but I don't see a huge issue with it either. I've done something similar on my Bard in 2.x and was frequently the top DPS using it. The main reason it worked well for Bard, though, was the immediate use of Bloodletter procs.

    I wouldn't say this is 'competitive' as you're pretty much guaranteed to output lower DPS, but the output is small enough that this could be a trade off of DPS output for convenience. It's definitely a bad idea for raids etc., but as you keep saying, you're talking about casual content.
