    Personally I disagree.
    I apply the same logic I described in the first post to Full Thrust and Life Surge, works like a charm.
    Each time Life Surge is off the cooldown it will be used right before I use Full Thrust.
    Love it, and it's one less button for me to check/manage, making the actions flow simpler and more streamlined.
    It's because I'm liking this so much I wanted to do the same with True North as well ^^

    Again you'll be losing uptime in small amounts over time when using macros. This isn't something that can be debated, they are intentionally programmed this way.
    Now you may not be aiming to be doing Ultimate level content and such and just wanna get by with the effort you have, but it's important to know to downsides to the options available.
    I'm glad you're liking it, it may be a little easier with the number of skills you have. It's good to enjoy the way you play, but also understand you'll be met with a lot of opposition in good faith for people trying to help you.

    It actually does not. GCD will always drift if placed in a macro. This will inevitably cost you an entire usage of the ability as the fight progresses. There is also a chance either ability will not execute at all, thus your Life Surge won't even proc. This is because unlike pressing a GCD normally, macros don't queue. No matter how you slice it, either macro you're purposed will cause you to lose damage over time.
