    I've avoided doing anything like this because of animation delays, though now I'm wondering. If you put Fast Blade in first with a /wait and then Awareness after that, you might get around it. It might also be better since Awareness is typically best used while AoE tanking to put it on Flash instead of Fast Blade. The only drawback is it might interfere with Circle of Scorn, which I almost always try to use as a follow up to Flash.

    Why not cast CoS first in the macro?

    /ac "Circle of Storm" <t>
    /ac "Flash" <me> (or is it <t>?) I haven't tested this yet.
    /ac "Awareness" <me>

    You can smash the marco to make sure you cast CoS flash and cast awareness after everything.

    It has decent uses in pve, but like mentioned previously, it will definitely shine in pvp. Being uncrittable for such a long time is extremely valuable.

    Flash is more threat, I always want to lead with it. So perhaps make the macro Flash, CoS, then Awareness. If you were mashing it, Awareness wouldn't go off until after the second flash, but better late than never. Either that or simply put the buttons all next to each other to remind me they go together.
