Macros have a intented delay to make it bad on combos, only targeting macros on skill that need it like salted heart are consider acceptable and don't hurt you performance.

I'd never use a macro especially for Continuation you're gonna delay and clip losing in lots of DPS not to mention if you mess one up GNB gets punished heavily if you mess up your burst windows vs any other tank, as Shao said Salted Earth is the only one that doesn't hurt because it's ground targeted since it's faster due to the animation skip.

Not to mention in your opener you use 1 Gnashing Fang + 1 continuation then you use your DoTs/OGCDs so it messes it up even more.

I seem to get the opposite effects from those 2 macros, also Gnashing Fang Macro I use when I'm waiting for No Mercy to come off cooldown.

We'll think about it in this way instead, a macro for gnashing fan combo will take over 6 seconds to being used, on that time you are unable to weave anything properly so you become vulnerable and your mitigations won't affect you on time or whatever, if you have to run out the boss mid combo the macro will be interrupted and other stuff, in resume you will have way less chance to adapt on combat.

I also pop a defensive cooldown before using the macro if that helps(provided I have any off cooldowns given how hard enemy auto attacks hit you for) and I also don't use the /wait text command in the macro.
