Click macros are a crutch imo. :)
I only use /castsequence anyway :D
for multiboxing they are the best way to maximize caster dps on multiple toons. Can it be done without? yes, but its very hard to max dps without click macros for boxers. Insta cast spells, like with palies, can be done with an old school castseqence. There are long threads explaining exactly why this is so. So sure.. you can do it manually, fine.. but as every boxer knows.. its a pain to do it without macros.. and click macros are the best way to utilize macros for dps.
Bliz would only be hurting boxers with this change, if it is not just a bug. But we will adjust and move on.
Going to test this right now.
Yeah it's not working. Tested with a 80 shaman using
/run SetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX","0")
/cast elemental mastery
/click MultiBarRightButton1
/click MultiBarRightButton2
/click MultiBarRightButton3
/click MultiBarRightButton4
/run SetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX","1")
/castsequence reset=combat flame shock,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
/castsequence reset=combat lava burst,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Archiving my version of innerspace now :P
/castsequence reset=combat chain lightning,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
/cast lightning bolt
He never does anything except cast flameshock, and then stops.
I just hope its a bug. It seems buggy. Even doing /castsequence spell,spell,spell .. instant spells seem to make the thing hang up.

I wouldn't sweat it, a lot of macro functionality we use has been disabled to force people to test the default UI.
A click castsequence really helps, when you're running multiple toons of different classes.
While it might not be optimal, it is a lot closer to optimal than manually managing (impossible really) several casters of different classes at once.
If your team is 5x Boomkin or 5x Shaman, then you can have them all Flame Shock or Lava Burst together. If the team is Boomkin (who wants Insect Swarm/Moonfire, when not up, and Starfire/Wrath when they are up) and a Shammy (who wants Flame Shock, then Lava Burst on each cooldown, then Chain Lightning on each cooldown, and Lightning Bolt fall-throughs)... it is much easier to spam a single button.
Whether the sky is falling or not... We cannot be sure if a change will be permanent in Cataclysm or not. Whatever they do, we'll adapt as single boxers will as well. Our advantage will still be coordination and our disadvantage will be a lack of simultaneous different actions, compared to one-boxers or five single players.
It is too early to say whether this is a change for Cataclysm or not.
