/castsequence reset=combat ,Exorcism, Avenger's Shield
/cast Divine PleaCasts Divine Plea if it is off cooldown on the 1st press and then Exorcism and Avenger's Shield on the 2nd and 3rd press.


Tanking

A priority based system based on the standard 96969 rotation with trinkets and a fallthrough. Ability priority with macros:
Assist and Trinkets (only assist if focus is assigned)

#showtooltip
/assist [target=focus, exists] focus
/StartAttack
/use 13
/use 14
Holy Shield (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=48952)

#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=combat Holy Shield,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Shield of Righteousness (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=61411)

#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=combat Shield of Righteousness,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Judgement of Wisdom (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=53408)

#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=combat Judgement of Wisdom,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Hammer of the Righteous (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=53595)

#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=combat Hammer of the Righteous,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Consecration (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=48819) (Combined with the fallthrough due to macro limit)
Hammer of Wrath (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=48806) (fallthrough, when nothing else is casting)

#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=combat Consecration,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
/cast Hammer of Wrath

The order is not fixed, Consecration, Judgement and Holy Shield can be swapped with each other. I like to get Holy Shield up ASAP, on AOE pulls you can manually drop a Consecration straight after the pull before starting the rotation. I listed Judgement of Wisdom but I have the same macro with Judgement of Light and I have them next to each other on my bars. If I want to switch to using Judgement of Light I just swap the positions of the two Judgement macros on the bars.


The actual tanking macro (this is clicking action buttons 1-6 on the leftmost action bar on the right hand side of the default UI)

/run SetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX","0")
/click MultiBarLeftButton1
/click MultiBarLeftButton2
/click MultiBarLeftButton3
/click MultiBarLeftButton4
/click MultiBarLeftButton5
/click MultiBarLeftButton6
/run SetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX", "1")


Taunt

Very simple taunt macro, needs work and I also need some "OH SHIT!" macros.

#showtooltip
/cast [help] Righteous Defense; [target=targettarget, help] Righteous Defense

Tank Healing

The idea is to assist the leader and heal the leader's target, if friendly, or the targettarget if not friendly and do all this with a /click macro. Some good points and bad points to this approach. The most interesting side effect is mobs that change targets or that cannot be taunted, the current target will automatically be healed. When the tank is taking heavy damage and a mob changes target this is a problem sometimes.

Click 1 - Assist and Trinkets (extra clause in /use commands for when priest was holy and in spirit form the macro would get stuck due to the trinkets not being usable when dead)

I like these kinds of threads.
You get to see how others have set their teams up.
Which tricks they use.

Thanks for sharing.

I hope someone gets some benefit from it :) It will take a few days to get them all formatted properly and updated. The core of the pally is finished and updated. There are some listed spells not linked yet.

Thanks for the post.. I need a destruction click macro for my soon to be new 80 warlock. I will test your setup out and see how well it does.

Nicely detailed.

I saw you mentioned (due to macro limit). You know you can grab an add-on like Macaroon to take off the limit.
