I apologize if my post came off antagonistic, it was not my intent. I emphasized the "my" 's in my post specifically because, while others may be able to play quite well without such mouseover macros, I (emphasis made to point at me specifically so as not to broadly imply that my way is somehow good for everyone) am considerably worse without them. I was trying, in I suppose a too subtle and not quite successful fashion, to point out that macros aren't always bad to use in some cases for some people (even dps), especially if (like myself) you perform worse without them.
Another example for me is that I currently have a dps macro for BRD. I'm the type of player who mashes their buttons constantly during the gcd so everything seems to fire off regularly when I play BRD. If I tried to keep track of all the stuff in my macro manually... half of those skills wouldn't get used as much as they do with the macro. Here's the macro so you can see it... and yes I realize I'd do way better dps not using it if I could handle the mental and finger gymnastics required, but sadly I am bad (and I feel bad) and I can't. It's why I only use BRD when solo so as not to subject others to my badness. >_>

I know everyone looking at that macro is face palming right now >_< but I honestly perform worse trying to play BRD the "right" way. Again I only solo when I use BRD so no one else is subjected my bad dps >_>
