Macros are they needed?

[kysulli]

With consecutive macros you can put all six of your primary rotation skills on two buttons, but if you button mash those macros they waste GCDs and entire form chains by casting out of turn. Even if you only click a couple times to prime the button before GCD ends it can waste a GCD. I've tried putting small wait timers at the beginning of the macros, but it still happens. Having multiple form dependent abilities on a button doesn't work well with perfect balance, either. If abilities have to be put off to the side for perfect balance then you might as well not use macros.

I would use these if casting out of turn wasn't an issue:

/ac "True Strike"
/ac "Demolish"
/ac "Bootshine"

/ac "Snap Punch"
/ac "Twin Snakes"
/ac "Dragon Kick"

/ac "Rock Breaker"
/ac "Arm of the Destroyer"

I do like macroing Shoulder Charge with Steel Peak.

Macroing a few cooldown abilities (Mantra+Second Wind, Internal Release+Blood for Blood, etc.) can be helpful.

Also, the monk GCD timer is too erratic for chain macros to be used effectively.
