Figured I'd share a few macros for my Combat Rogue that I worked. Right now, he's only lvl 80, stuck there for a while as he's my new twink for LK randoms/raids. Here it is if anyone else would like to use them:
With Bartender4, the main two hotbars switch when in stealth mode. I put my spam buttons on E, and Shift+E. The same Interrupt macro on Q and Shift+Q, these can be changed to your own preference. Changes to these can be made too if you like. I may change them up a bit myself later, but for now I like how they hold up. The names of the weapons can be changed to whatever you have and swapped from one macro to the other if you need the extra character space.
Single Target Spam button: on Button "E"
/click BT4Button91
/castsequence [nostealth] reset=target/3 Sinister Strike,Rupture,Sinister Strike,Slice and Dice,Sinister Strike,Sinister Strike,Recuperate,Sinister Strike,Revealing Strike,Eviscerate
/equip Amber Messenger
/cancelaura blade flurry
The Amber Messenger Bow is for now, my best weapon for fighting against single targets as it has better stats than my thrown weapon. This automatically equips that weapon when switching from mobs to single targets, and turns off Blade Flurry for faster energy Regen. This might cause SnD to be refreshed prematurely, but so far, it's held up for me on boss fights so far.
BT4Button91:
#showtooltip
/cast [nocombat] !Stealth
/cast [stealth] Pick Pocket
/cast [stealth] Garrote
/cast [nocombat] Recuperate
This will put you into Stealth if not in combat, with the ! infront of the ability, it will not turn off Stealth is spammed more than once, and cast Recuperate if not in combat as well. This will also not break stealth.
Spam button on Shift+E:
/click BT4Button94
/castsequence [nostealth] reset=target/3 Shiv,Sinister Strike,Fan of Knives,Recuperate,Sinister Strike,Revealing Strike,Fan of Knives,Eviscerate
/equip Shrapnel Star
/cast [combat] !Blade Flurry
This one equips my thrown weapon to use FoK when fighting mobs, and turns on Blade Flurry only once I enter combat so that it does not break stealth beforehand. This will also constantly spam the BF ability and recast it once it's off cooldown, but since it's off the Global cooldown system, this will have no impact on dps and always keep it on. Manually clicking/rightclicking BF, or using the /cancelaura Blade Flurry command will be the only ways to turn it off unless it's dispelled by any means, but this will just reactivate it. The Shiv ability first ensures that the Sinister Strikes from both /castsequences do not get shared and my Recuperate ability has combo points to spend. Before I added that, both SSs were shared when hit, causing Recup to come up with no Combo Points to use, locking the macro.

#showtooltip
/cast [nocombat] !Stealth
/cast [stealth] Pick Pocket
/cast [stealth] Garrote
/castsequence [nostealth] reset=2 Sinister Strike,Slice and Dice,null
/cast [nocombat] Recuperate
I kept this one separate with cause of the SnD. I didn't want it to refresh it every time I switched targets and the mobs I fight die long before it wears off.
Poison Application macros: Change Poison names to what you want on each hand. Left click the macro to apply to Main hand, right click to apply to Off Hand. Thrown just requires you to left click it.
Main hand/Off Hand
Instant/Deadly Poison:
/use [button:1] Instant Poison; Deadly Poison
/use [button:1] 16;17
/click StaticPopup1Button1
Thrown weapon Application: Must equip Thrown weapon first.
/use [button:1] Deadly Poison
/use [button:1] 18
/click StaticPopup1Button1
If you wonder why I have Recuperate in my dps macros, it's mainly because it helps a bit with running dungeons because in some my Rogue seems to take alot of AoE damage from fights and the healers have not always kept me up. This helps them a bit, but can be taken out or swapped for other abilities if you'd like. I also use these same macros inside and outside of dungeons, so it's less management I have to worry about cutting down on macros. When fighting mobs in dungeons, I usually focus on one target, not always the one the tank is attacking, but one that's on top of them. Once I engage out of stealth, I cast Tricks of the Trade on the tank and my threat on said target and mob gets transferred. Since FoKs has the cooldown, putting Sinister Strike between them with Blade Flurry up will do extra mob damage and allow energy buildup to use FoKs again when it's off CD so SS doesn't use all of energy after each GCD. For example:
/castsequence reset=target Shiv,Sinister Strike,Recuperate,Sinister Strike,Revealing Strike,Eviscerate
/cast Fan of Knives
Might get hung up if the GCD resets and you have enough energy to cast FoK, but not SS/RS/Evis and FoKs is ready to be used. It has on me, so that's the reason for the macro I came up with.
Hope these help everyone else. Please feel free to share any insight or thoughts.
