A lot of it depends on what you're comfortable with. Everything you can do with a macro, you can do without. The main purpose of macros is to increase efficiency and make specific functions easier. It's especially important for healers, who can use macros to mitigate the amount of time switching back and forth between a huge amount of targets.

For a class like WAR, you'll find most macros are used to clean up the skill bar, or group together skills that you'll end up using together all the time anyway. Hachiko posted some great macros for keeping CD skills up for those of us that tend to be forgetful with them (something I should probably look into doing, really).

I'd recommend waiting until you hit level 50 and complete your skillset before going in and setting your WAR macros. For healers, it's more of a necessity to set everything working at maximum efficiency, but for WAR, you want to figure out your preferred layout before you go setting everything else up.
