Mastering BRD is about maximizing dps and using a macro to promote laziness is not doing so. Use your bloodletter procs/misery's end manually, if bloodletter or misery's end is triggered after your global reaches the 7:00 position save it and use it right after your next global. Just my experience of using macros, take it or leave it.
One of the reason why I switched back to manual. After experimenting a little with macros (after hearing many players claiming that it is good), I find manual slightly more advantageous.

There are a lot of times in battle you need to care for mechanics and such and your concentration on your CD timers and stuffs can get off track a little, and a small macro such as binding BL to HS can be helpful. It all depends on the player - what the player is comfortable with, and current level of proficiency. Some players may benefit from macro, some don't. If at a certain point, a BL-bind-to-HS macro can help a player to concentrate more on mechanics and eventually improve DPS, then I think he/she has a reason to use. When he/she gets used to the fight, I think eventually he/she can notice the little times you don't want to fire that BL yet but because it is macro'd, it fired, then it would be his/her learning experience to figure out how to overcome it in his/her own play style and further improve from there.

That's why I can't deny macro do have its uses, just depending on who's the user.
