The only macros that are really recommended are mouse over macros for things like AST cards or SCH’s Fae Union, and a raise macro. Otherwise, they aren’t that recommended, and are likely to be more of a hindrance than a help.
I actually tested having DPS buttons on the <tt> macro recently.

Over a 60 second period:
Macro: 25 Dosis casts.
No Macro: 26 Dosis casts.

Losing one Dosis GCD per minute is IMO an acceptable loss compared against the smoother gameplay offered by having the DPS buttons use the <tt> macro.

You could argue the macroless DPS rotation is objectively better because you get that extra GCD.
But I argue that I lose less DPS to use the macro because no matter what I'm targeting I'm always aiming a Dosis at the boss.

It's a personal thing. Some people will feel more comfortable with the incessant target switching.
So I'll keep suggesting that people should give the macro a shot (only on the dps, never on a heal) and see how it feels for them.
But I'll always maintain that it should be a natural function of healer dps spells.
