So that's 5 buttons and funnily enough I have 4 fingers and a thumb on my xkeys pro. Now if that was in a macro then that's still 5 pushes of a button but in a macro you have no control of where you are or may lose track of where you are in the sequence. For simple grinding maybe, but for instances - well I might want to Cpt America again as soon as it's up or not even use Cpt America for this pull or deem it not necessary to Consecrate or whatever or righteous hammer (how do I love thee), I might want to do something different.

The tank is at the pointy end and needs the most flexibility, the tank is the char you are actually playing (most of the time - except for that guy who plays a priest with a tank up front >.< the support team of course needs to be macroed, but the tank? - go separate buttons imho
I agree with your main point that the tank requires the most flexibility. However, if all four fingers and your thumb are tied up by that tank, what exactly is left to go mashing for the DPS & healer macros? I'm struggling with that right now.
