Still I'd want to see evidence of a macros's DPS both from normal players and those skilled enough to tackle SCoB and/or Leviathan EX so if anyone is willing to make or find comparison videos for DPS performance with macros and DPS performance without I'd be grateful (and I'll add then to the OP for all to see)
The other problem is like other's have said with skill queueing. Even if your GCD was, say, 1.99 seconds due to Skill/Spell Speed and you set the wait to 2 seconds, you run into a problem. Latency. It very well could be skipping actions even though your GCD is lower than the wait time. Also, this is an intentional design. It's intended for a macro to be worse than do it yourself for things like this.
