Don't do this. FFXIV uses a queuing system that allows players to preemptively "queue" their abilities before they're off cooldown. If I hit say, Disembowel a split second or two before the GCD turns over, the game already acknowledges I pressed that ability and readies it. Macros, on the other hand, wait the full duration. This guarantees a delay and can occasionally misfire, meaning the ability won't go off at all. You only want to use macros for things like Raise, Shadewalker and etc. Basically, any ability what won't mess up your rotation or risk a heal not going off. Putting that aside, you won't always need to refresh aoe HoTs. In the end, you're far better off getting used to doing most things manually.
