The only useful macros in DS are raid warnings to remind slackers to do the tactics, like /rw melee move out for zon'ozz. Good for pugs, though not guaranteed to work.

The main macros I use while tanking are mostly /tar ones.
I use two for the gunship elites. One for the dreadblade and another for the slayer.
If you're a dk, you might want to do a /tar for the sapper to deathgrip and CoI.
For spine you can use one for the tendon.
And lastly for madness, use it for the bolt.

I know they are not game changers, but they surely make things easier.

The OP is obviously expecting a cast sequence macro for the whole "rotation".

My macros are boring ones, like :
#showtooltip Death Grip
/cleartarget
/tar Twilight Sapper
/focus
/targetlasttarget
/cast [@focus,exists] Death Grip
/cast [@focus,exists] Chains of Ice


Doesn't work before sapper isn't running and isn't interfering with my tank targets.Sorry I do not use trollling cast-sequence macros.

/castsequence reset=35 Death Grip, Dark Command ?

Can't think of any other general ones.

Actually it is easier cast sequence paladin tank since they do not use basic rotation based on incoming damage (like Dks do). So you can just rotate your strikes and flying shield and that's there. But even then it would not make any sense to have cast sequence on a tank. Any tank.

The only really usable macro in DS is:
/click ExtraActionButton1
Works like a charm for both madness and ultraxion.

Other than that, there are only the boring targeting macros for sappers and elementium bolts.

You know, you could just bind the "extra action button" to a key in the Keybindings.

Indeed. Though a tank can miss get dodged or parried, leading the cast sequence macro to hit shield of the righteous with less than 3 holy power many times. So I don't suggest it.

The thought has struck me and been dismissed. If you knew my gaming setup you would realize why.
