I always throw this out when these questions come up.

WTF do you need 255 character macros for? (Coming from a guy who's done most heroics and karazhan with minimal macros)
It doesn't come up too often in my macros, but there are some things I like to include to ensure a short duration buff gets reapplied without having to hit a seperate button. Off the top of my head, it comes in to play on my warrior and paladin. For the Warrior, I attach "/castrandom Battle Shout, Demoralizing Shout,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,," etc up to the limit at the begining of her ability spam macro. I put the same thing on my Paladin for JoR so it doesn't drop when I'm not paying attention to a long fight.

I think I also got close to the limit on my healing macros, since I have the numpad set up to correspond to my 10 characters, with a vanilla press being HoT, alt-mod is direct heal, and ctrl-mod is a cleanse/decurse. I wanted to throw a shift in there somehow but it turns out that turns your numpad in to arrow keys.
