This is a brief selection of what you can do - post your favourties ;)
Lots of little gems here particularly Jenavi and Falka (posts #1 & 2 below) & check out Rackham's at post # 63, Thorinaar's at # 72-73 & Kudagaxehand's at # 125, to name but a few ;)

weapon swaps (you shift-click your weapon / shield etc. into your macro ..)
DW to 2h and back to DW :
/equipslot 16 Maladath, Runed Blade of the Black Flight
/equipslot 17 Qiraji Sacrificial Dagger
/equipslot 16 The Untamed Blade


Shield :
/equipslot 16 Maladath, Runed Blade of the Black Flight
/equipslot 17 Drillborer Disk

stance dances

toggles stances between def and battle stance and if control clicked, it will go to zerker stance.
/cast [modifier:ctrl,nostance:3] Berserker Stance; [stance:1] Defensive Stance; Battle Stance

Fear Dance think Mag Ony.. will put you into zerker stance, pop zerker rage and then (back) to def stance
/cast [stance:1/2]Berserker Stance;Berserker Rage
/cast [stance:3]Defensive Stance

Overpower: A very simple Overpower macro
/cast [stance:1] Overpower; Battle Stance
others...
/cast [stance:1] Mocking Blow; Battle Stance

/cast [stance:2] Taunt; Defensive Stance

/cast [stance:3] Whirlwind; Berserker Stance

'1 button mashes' (or whats left of them) ;p

Will cast Overpower in Battle stance, Sunder Armor in Defensive, and Whirlwind in Berserker stance
/cast [stance:1] Overpower; [stance:2] Sunder Armor; [stance:3] Whirlwind

Casts overpower then HS (it still works 'cos it is not on the GCD - it is a "on next attack" ability, and that means it can work with Overpower in this macro. same for Cleave...
/cast Overpower(Rank4)
/cast Heroic Strike(Rank9)

Intercept/Charge: It either charges/intercepts, or puts you into the correct stance, another click and you charge/intercept. It will also leave you in zerker while in combat...
/cast [nocombat,stance:1] Charge; [combat,nostance:3] Berserker Stance; [nocombat,nostance:1] Battle Stance; [combat,stance:3] Intercept

my favourite for when chasing horde but I guess it'd work for gettng alliance too ;p
/cancelaura Stormpike Battle Charger
/cast [nocombat,stance:1] Charge; [combat,nostance:3] Berserker Stance; [nocombat,nostance:1] Battle Stance; [combat,stance:3] Intercept
/stopcasting
/castsequence reset=5 Bloodthirst, Heroic Strike, Whirlwind

Shield bash or Pummel macro
/cast [stance:1/2,noequipped:Shields] Berserker Stance; [stance:1/2,equipped:Shields] Shield Bash; [stance:3] Pummel

Intervene Macro (not tested):
Right now Intervene seems like it would be quite clicky to use… First you have to notice a mob going for a teammate, click that mob, then click the target of the mob (your teammate), then cast the spell. This helps cut that down.
/cast [nostance: 2] Defensive Stance; [help] Intervene; [target=targettarget, help] Intervene;

tanking macro - shield block, revenge and then shield slam (not tested - not prot)
/castsequence reset=5 Shield Block, Revenge, Shield Slam
Jenavi at post 26 says "This does not work very well. /castsequence traps you into having to complete the previous part of the sequence in order to progress. The reset option only works if you do not hit the macro again. If you happen to hit that macro hokey before the end of the 5sec, then the 5sec timer starts again. Testing it on PTR, I often found Revenge and Shield Block available, but was stuck getting rage to get over the Shield Slam hurtle".

I've tested this and it was fine (tho you will get 'ability not ready' spam)- SA needing half the rage..
/castsequence reset=5 Shield Block, Revenge(Rank 6), Sunder Armor(Rank 5)

better IMO to manually sunder to 5, then...
Revenge-Shield Block
/cast Shield Block
/stopcasting
/cast Revenge

and then refresh the sunders...

I've found the best way is to combine the revenge/SB macro above with this one
/cast Heroic Strike
/stopcasting
/cast Sunder Armor

I use the HS/SA one first to get excellent threat, then the revenge/SB to give good mitigation and threat, adding in the other now and then... ;)

/castrandom makes a great substitue for the older methods of stringing together attacks. You just need to remember that the more abilities you list, the less chance you have of getting the one you want:

/castrandom Devastate, Shield Slam, Whirlwind (etc...)

change to berserker stance, intercept, and hamstring (only works 'cos charge/intercept do not have a global cooldown)
/cast [stance:3] Intercept; Berserker Stance
/stopcasting
/cast [stance:3] Hamstring

if mob not targeting you, you will taunt it (assumes Def stance, as well as the mobs target targeting it...)
/cast [target=targettargettarget] Taunt

Spell reflect (not tested) If you do not have a shield equipped, it will equip the one you designate. If you have a shield equipped and are in Battle or Defensive Stance, use Spell Reflect. If you have a shield equipped and are in Berserker Stance, it will change to Defensive Stance so that Spell Reflect can be cast.
/cast [stance:1/2,equipped:Shields] Spell Reflection; [stance:3,equipped:Shields] Defensive Stance
/equip [noequipped:Shields] Elementium Reinforced Bulwark

misc

activating a trinket into a macro?
/use 13
/use 14
(13 = top trinket, 14 = bottom)

self bandage (bandages in bag 1 position 1)
/use [target=player] 1 1
or
/use [target=player] Heavy Netherweave Bandage

oh crap! button - last stand, HS, then a pot - 1 click each
/castsequence reset=600 Last Stand, Major Healthstone, Major Healing Potion

intim shout, bandage and then re-target 3 clicks...
/cast Intimidating Shout
/use [target=player] Heavy Runecloth Bandage
/targetlasttarget

Lifegiving Gem-Last Stand
/castsequence Lifegiving Gem, Last Stand

you get the idea? you can shift click the various spells items to put in your macros and change those above around... the /castrandom and /castsequence combined with conditions offer a great deal of scope for new macros - tell us whats working for you ;)

additions, deletions, mistakes appreciated

/salute

an interesting use of "?" icon from Neuro's post above:

Castsequence is special in that it overrides the "#show" parameter. This is intentional, as most people want the current spell to show up instead of what is listed on "#show".

The reset command means that if the macro is not hit for that many seconds, the sequence resets back to the beginning. However, the problem you are running into is that you are doing thunderclap and demo shout which puts the sequence right back to the beginning automatically, meaning you don't get the timer you want.

Here's my suggestion: First, do '/macro' and bring up the Macro editor. Change the icon of this macro to that "?" at the very beginning of all the macro icons you can choose from. This is a special icon that shows the current spell in the sequence as it's icon.

Now, make you macro thus:
/castsequence reset=20/target Thunder Clap, Demoralizing Shout, Slam

Why Slam? Well, I just wanted a spell that most tanks don't use. It can be any ability you never use and who's icon is not on your action bar.

What will happen is this: On the first click, the macro will do TClap and the icon will change to the icon for Demo Shout. On the second click, the macro will cast Demo Shout and the icon will change to Slam. Now, the timer is running. When you see Slam go back to TClap, you know 20 seconds have gone by. There you go!

Note that you'd be much better off finding an addon to do something similar to this. It probably wouldn't be hard to find one that would put a visual countdown on that button every time it was clicked.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

from Falka post # 23 - I've not tested them all (they look fine) but the 'tab' one is awesome - thanks ;)

In battle stance: charge, then immediately switch to defensive.
In other stances: switch to battle stance.

/cast [stance:1] Charge
/stopcasting
/cast [stance:1] Defensive Stance; Battle Stance

In defensive stance: switch to berserker stance.
in berserker stance: intercept, then switch back to defensive stance.

/cast [stance:3] Intercept
/stopcasting
/cast [stance:3] Defensive Stance; Berserker Stance

Two keypresses to switch to berserker stance, activate berserker rage, and switch back to defensive:

/cast [stance:3] Berserker Rage
/stopcasting
/cast [stance:3] Defensive Stance; Berserker Stance

A version of Tab that only cycles through mobs in (roughly) melee range.

/script SetCVar("targetNearestDistance", 8)
/targetenemy
/script SetCVar("targetNearestDistance", 41)

Same as above, but also stops attacks to prevent CC from being broken.

/script SetCVar("targetNearestDistance", 8)
/stopattack
/targetenemy
/script SetCVar("targetNearestDistance", 41)

Here is an updated consolidation of Jenavi's 2.0 macros so far (see post # 74).

If you are having probems with your macros using "modifier:ctrl/alt/shift", check your key bindings for keys using tose secific modifiers. If you have a key binding for ctrl-1 and place a macro with modifier:ctrl on hotkey 1, the key binding will override the macro modifier.


Tanking
Since I often have to manage the strategic parts of an encounter, I prefer to make the tactical part as simple as possible.

# 1 - Taunt-MB-CS

1 is Taunt/Def Stance switch. Ctrl-1 is Mocking Blow/Battle Stance switch. Alt-1 is Challenging Shout.

# show Taunt
/cast [modifier:alt] Challenging Shout;[modifier:ctrl,nostance:1] Battle Stance; [modifier:ctrl,stance:1] Mocking Blow; [stance:2] Taunt; [nostance:2] Defensive Stance;


# 2 - Sunder Armor

Plan ole Sunder Armor.
Sunder Armor


# 3 - Dev-SS-HS

3 is Devastate, Shield Slam, and Heroic Strike. Keeps HS queued and uses Devastate and Shield Slam for your supplemental aggro. Ctrl-3 uses Cleave instead of Heroic Strike.

/castrandom Devastate, Shield Slam
/stopcasting
/cast [modifier:ctrl] Cleave; Heroic Strike


# 4 - Rev-SB

Revenges when available... attempts to use Shield Block if not.

/cast Revenge
/stopcasting
/cast Shield Block


# 5 - Interrupt

Depending on your current equipment loadout, this will Shield Bash if you have shield or switch to Berserker Stance and Pummel if you do not have a shield equipped. Ctrl-5 uses Concussion Blow instead. This can be easily modified to include Spell Reflect in TBC.

/cast [modifier:ctrl] Concussion Blow; [stance:1/2,noequipped:Shields] Berserker Stance; [stance:1/2,equipped:Shields] Shield Bash; [stance:3] Pummel


Under or above these buttons, place the unmodified abilities so you can properly monitor their availability, cooldowns, and damage if you use something like Theorycraft. They also make good backups for playing tactically when spamming will not do.

Manually get to five sunders, then you can spam 3 and 4. 1 is your taunt. Ctrl-1 will switch to battle stance and mocking blow. Hit 1 again to go back to defensive stance. Alt-1 is your aoe taunt. 5 is your universal interrupt.



General Use for 2.0

# Fear Dance

First press changes to Berserker Stance. Second press uses Berserker Rage. Third press changes to Defensive Stance. You can remove the "/cast [nostance:2]Defensive Stance" line if you want to manually revert back to our old stance.

# show Berserker Rage
/cast [nostance:3]Berserker Stance;Berserker Rage
/cast [nostance:2]Defensive Stance


# Execute-HS/Cleave

Always attempts to use Execute, but will use Heroic Strike if not available. Ctrl uses Cleave instead of Heroic Strike.

/cast Execute
/stopcasting
/cast [modifier:ctrl] Cleave; Heroic Strike


# Overpower

Tried and true Overpower macro. This one forces the hotkey to show the Overpower cooldown.

# show Overpower
/cast [stance:1] Overpower; Battle Stance


# Bash-Pummel

As described in the tanking section.. depending on your current equipment loadout, this will Shield Bash if you have shield or switch to Berserker Stance and Pummel if you do not have a shield equipped. Ctrl uses Concussion Blow instead. This can be easily modified to include Spell Reflect in TBC.

/cast [modifier:ctrl] Concussion Blow; [stance:1/2,noequipped:Shields] Berserker Stance; [stance:1/2,equipped:Shields] Shield Bash; [stance:3] Pummel


# Charge-Intercept

Has been gone over in other posts, but here for completeness. This is the new version of the old tried and true Charge-Intercept macro.

/cast [nocombat,stance:1] Charge; [combat,nostance:3] Berserker Stance; [nocombat,nostance:1] Battle Stance; [combat,stance:3] Intercept


# Lifegiving Gem-Last Stand

This will randomly use either your Lifegiving Gem or Last Stand. This is better than using /castsequence since you can use it successfully for times when you do not have your Lifegiving Gem equipped.

/castrandom Lifegiving Gem, Last Stand


# Quick Equip

A one button version of the quick equip macro. Normal is tank, ctrl is DW, alt is resist shield. You can modify this any number of ways for 2H wep and different button combos.

/equipslot 16 Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker
/equipslot 17 Elementium Reinforced Bulwark
/equipslot [modifier:ctrl] 17 Sickle of Unyielding Strength
/equipslot [modifier:alt] 17 Draconian Deflector



General Use for TBC

# Intervene

One press switches to Defensive Stance if you are not already there. A second press uses Intervene on your current target if it is a target you can actually help. Ctrl transparently targets your current target's target and uses Intervene on them... without switching your target. The ctrl version is meant for blind Intervening, while the normal version is for manual control.

/cast [help, stance:2] Intervene; [modifier:ctrl, target=targettarget, help, stance:2] Intervene; [nostance:2] Defensive Stance;


# Spell Reflect

If you do not have a shield equipped, it will equip the one you designate. If you have a shield equipped and are in Battle or Defensive Stance, use Spell Reflect. If you have a shield equipped and are in Berserker Stance, it will change to Defensive Stance so that Spell Reflect can be cast.

/cast [stance:1/2,equipped:Shields] Spell Reflection; [stance:3,equipped:Shields] Defensive Stance
/equip [noequipped:Shields] Elementium Reinforced Bulwark


Edit: Spelling errors and reminder about ctrl/alt/shift modifiers and key binding conflicts.

I am trying to figure out a toggle macro for example: My current macro will toggle between def and battle stance and if I control click it, it will go to zerker stance. Is their a way to replicate this?

I think:

/cast [modifier:ctrl] Berzerker Stance();
/cast [stance:1] Defensive Stance(); [stance:3] Battle Stance()

But not 100% sure.

Just tested it it will go from to def from battle but not back if you cast it in zerker it will go to battle.

I found that this macro:

/cast [stance:1] Defensive Stance(); [stance: 2] Battle Stance(); [Stance:3] Battle stance()


Ok now it toggles from Battle to Defensive stance. If you are in Beserker it will go back to battle. Just need to find a way to use a modifer to put it into zerker from def or battle.

---

Q u o t e:



Thought I'd repost this here as well. Try this:
/cast [modifier:ctrl,nostance:3] Berserker Stance; [stance:1] Defensive Stance; Battle Stance

I added in a check so it wouldn't try and switch you into 'zerker if you were already in 'zerker stance, and trimmed it down a bit in case you wanted to add more stuff to it later.

Works brilliantly

/salute Neuro

your macro work will help us come to grips with the changes that much faster ;)

12th!

I'm just marking this thread. I have a feeling I will need to find it early next week. And so will everyone else :) Thanks for starting it.

tag!

I'm pretty sure the only macro you need when patch 2.0 comes and you intend to PvP, is the one that says

/cry
/release

As you get hit for a 6k pyroblast.

That is all.

I just have stances bound to mouse buttons...

check sig

Unless you are using non-standard action bars, macros like

/cast [nocombat,stance:1] Charge; [combat,nostance:3] Berserker Stance; [nocombat,nostance:1] Battle Stance; [combat,stance:3] Intercept

are serious overkill. Remember that the default action bar will switch with your stances. So all you really need is a macro on your battle stance bar that says
/cast [combat] Berserker Stance; Charge
and then one on your zerker bar that says
/cast [nocombat] Battle Stance; Intercept

That is 2 macros instead of 1, but it also is slightly fewer tests/execution paths. I don't know exactly where and how all this code gets executed, but I'm all for efficiency, and I'm not hurting for macro slots, so I like this way.


Also, even though one-button tanking solutions are gone (and honestly I was surprised they were ever legal in the first place), I am willing to bet that this macro will prove surprisingly effective in the face of the limitations we are facing:
/castsequence reset=5 Shield Block, Revenge, Shield Slam

You'll have to sunder/devastate on your own, and it is possible (although given the way those abilities work should be rare) for the macro to get stuck on Revenge because it's not available. It is also possible that Revenge will be up but you don't have enough rage for block and it gets stuck. But overall it should prove extremely effective.

I'm very interested in this topic, hopefully my input is useful, and I'll be watching this thread for exciting developments!

thanks for the bumps guys - I reckon next week will be pretty chaotic, so keep the macros coming ;)
