macros: bad for DPS?

[Morningstar1337]

Okay so I made a thread suggesting adding something so that certain types of abilities can be lit up when used for macro icons. Then another user criticized my example macro (Blizzard III > Thunder III > Fire III > Fire.) I tell her(?) that the macro was used at the end of my rotation and that I added wait periods so that the macros could run. Then she(?) said that introducing macros to rotations hinders the DPS. SO I want to know does using combo macros yield less DPS than learning and flawlessly executing your rotations (because I also made macros to automate my Flare rotation)

Well now the consensus is that, Yes Macros ruin DPS, at least when used to automate rotations. So I've killed my Flare rotation macros but am keeping my buff and MP rotation ones incase I need then (last one would be unlikely but meh)
