I have Verfire/Verstone on the bar so I can see the procs, and if necessary, use the manual buttons, but 90% of the time the macro works well enough for me.
    /ac Scorch doesn't work because the game is expecting Jolt at that time.

    All due "don't macro combat actions" lectures aside, here are my recommendations if you're still going to macro all that for accessibility.

    There's an appropriate order to actions in a macro so that you don't delay a GCD for an oGCD. You've put Fleche and Contre Sixte before all your spells. This is something you should always avoid, even when the macro is being used for accessibility reasons. By prioritizing Fleche and Contre Sixte, you will lose about 1 whole second every time one of them comes off cooldown just when you are about to cast a spell, and you'll lose 2 whole seconds if the other one comes off cooldown during that 1 s. oGCDs should always come at the end so that you can use them without delaying your spells. Delaying Fleche or Contre Sixte by 3.2s so that you can dualcast a spell pair will result in far fewer lost oGCDs than the GCDs lost from delaying spells 1s for your oGCDs.

    The way this macro is written, if you happen to be within one Verstone cast of being white tilted and you need to cast Jolt or Verfire to avoid becoming white tilted, you're going to cast Verstone and get white tilted, which will cost you between two and four GCDs to rebalance, leaving you up to ten seconds behind your melee schedule. So do watch out for that so you can manually Verfire or Jolt in that particular case.
