    Short answer: bad idea.

    To elaborate:
    Flare macro:
    - You loose a lot of time for each action
    - There is no reason to use Raging strikes for one flare followed by an transpose UI phase. it should be used in the beginning of an AF rotation.
    - You dont always want to use transpose after flare, more often then not flare is followed by convert or mana pot.
    - /p chat when using skills is annoying as fk

    Defense macro:
    - Mana wall and ward has completly different usage, should never be used at the same time.
    - Apoc with <tt> is a bad idea since this skill is often used to keep ppl not fully healed or with ress sickness alive during big aoes or big unavoidable damage, if you try to use it on a healer it will cast it on whoever they have targeted i'd assume.

    Debuff macro:
    - Lethargy is more or less only useful in 3 cases that i can think of, t11, t5 dreads and pvp. better to just use virus as it is and have lethargy on an less convenient button.
    - Dont understand why thunder is here, it should be used in UI and not whenever you use virus. (edit: didnt see that you mentioned that you only use this one during UI so nvm)

    Run macro:
    - Again, /p stuff is annoying
    - i would recommend using <mo> macro for AM but i guess that wont work for you as a console player. so yea, this macro is basically just you spamming chat with an star trek reference while using AM

    I main BLM and only use two macros, one is for AM on mouseover and the second one is Eye for and eye on target followed by targets target. this allows me to give it to OT before tankswap/akh morn/whatever but still allows me to use it without switching target when i just want to use it on mt. same can be done with apoc
