Is it a DPS loss to use macros?

[jssanderson747]

So I was trying to clean up my action bars a bit and made some macros. I made a nice one for Raging + IR + Hawk's Eye..

Then I made one that does Venomous Bite > Windbite with a delay of 2.5.. but it feels SO SLOW compared to hitting it normally.

Is it just me or is this a DPS loss when you macros abilities together with the 2.5 delay? When I try 2.4 I get the "too soon" error so I know it doesn't round the decimal - but it doesn't work with 2.49 either.

Generally any macro involving more than one weaponskill or ability is a dps loss. Macro-ing say a recast message to your invigorate or a <t> command to something like flaming arrow however won't affect dps in any relevant way. The flaming arrow thing is arguable but there isn't really a fight in the game where placing the arrow is more beneficial than just having it instantly placed.
