Strange Macro Behavior -- Any Ideas ?

[Maxion]

With a click macro, it tries to run them all at once.
If you put a stopcasting anywhere in the macro, then you'd constantly interrupt anything that is not an instant cast, so only the Flame Shock would go off.

If an earlier spell is on cooldown, then a later spell cannot fire off, unless the first is on the comma (null) stage. So if you don't have enough commas in the macro, then it will hang on whatever spell until that spell is available.

I wouldn't have a reset=target for the LavaBurst, as it is on a fixed cooldown which means if you do switch targets it will attempt to cast. If it happens to be on cooldown, then Lightning Bolts cannot fire off. Reset=Target in the Flame Shock is less critical, as you can Flame Shock a lot more often... but this will sometimes hang as well.

Flame Shock cooldown is as long as that of Lava Burst, so I would have neither of them reset on target change.

Depending how you are spec'd.

Lavaburst is an 8 second cooldown.
Flame Shock is a base 6 second cooldown, but can be talented to (-1/-2 or /-.2/-.4/-.6/-.8/-1.0) seconds.

I wouldn't really go with reset=target on either, either, but when I was testing my own click the reset=target almost never causes the click to stick with a four second cooldown and always having a Flame Shock on any target when the Lava Burst fires off is a bonus.

Since you have the GCD anyway (from the last cast), with Booming Echoes you're looking at up to 2.5 second of the click being stuck (if you use reset=target) vs two casts of Lava Burst which are not guaranteed criticals. The reset=target is a tougher choice for the Flame Shock then the Lava Burst which will lock the click for 8 seconds on a target switch.
