The above response answers everything, but note, if you use a macro to change the spell name, it causes it not to be queued, so macros are not recommended most of the time.

Normally, if you press an action, it gets queued so even if you press it right before the global cooldown finishes, it activates when it does finish. But macros prevent this.

You can partially recreate the effect of a queue by repeating the action 15 times in the macro, but it's still not recommended. In some cases you may desire to use a macro even though it's not optimal, such as to assist with your playstyle (mouse over healing, using attacks on the target of your target) or to help with disabilities.

Yes, I should have stated this in my original answer. Never EVER use macros for battle content, unless you are doing something the entire party needs to know, which is pretty much nothing these days. Even the commonly used raise macros aren't worth it since by the time your raise announcement macro goes off, most healers will just have already used swiftcast+raise already anyway.

They specifically designed combat so that you could not use macros efficiently. So any macro use is generally frowned upon.
