macros: bad for DPS?

[Amberyl]

I think it's just inefficient to macro GCD skills, especially on a melee combo because depending on the situation you might need to change your rotation on the fly or interrupt to dodge something.

True of the monk, yes, but not true of the Dragoon. The Dragoon's rotation is linear, and is essentially broken down into three chunks, with movement and dodging doing little more than reducing the viability/need for the final chunk. Everything else is non-GCD and can be weaved when you need it. In the 'A Rotation Reborn' thread, there's a wonderful image that gets across just how inflexible the Dragoon rotation actually is.

I agree, tho. Anyone macro'ing the Monk is doing themselves a disservice.
