Thanks for the effort but still it is not the one i am trying to write...

flaws r the same i had with my not-so-good attempt. I will have dead time with haste buffs or i will clip dots... I am not a machine and i cant spam button with the same speed all the time, so the commas r not the solution for mamaging the cooldowns of abilities.
I wonder is it is possible to make macro reset yourself _ONLY_ by a timer while i still spam it... AFAIK it is not possible with a macro language. maybe scripts can do it? or addons?

FYI
you dont need any Corr and CoA in deep destro 0/13/58
their DPCT is lower than immo, conflag, CB and Inci.
the only reason to use it at all is for the fights when you cant DPS your target for some time for any reason, such as boss casting interrupt and if you cast something within next 1-2 sec you will have fire school locked for 6-8 sec, or if your target will be ubreacheable for some time such as air phase of some bosses...

Basically for the curses
1) if there r no DK with ebon plaguebringer you need to put Curse of elements up (see also rule #3)
2) if there R DK with plaguebringer and the fight will last longer than 60 sec - you need CoD
3) if the fight will last longer than 16 sec and you do single target DPS - bring CoE on the shorter fights - no

As for the priority of casts
i see you put CB higher than Conflag in a macro. It is allso a DPS loss. imagine that both conflag and CB is up and immo has 0.5 sec to live. You can fire Conflag or start cast CB which will land on a target that no longet has immo on it. not only you waste 2-3 seconds(as you will need a immo reapplied before you can fire conflag) of Conflagidle time but you also lose 15% damdge buff to CB.

Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but it has some good content, and I realized the need to reply since I have not checked for replies since posting my post here.

@Ivanhalf: If you had read my whole post including the comments at the bottom you would have seen that I don't actually use the dot parts of the macro as part of my rotation. And that I cast CoE manually at the start of the fights. And I believe I posted my reasoning for why I put the priority that I did as well.

Hitting the button at a constant rate only takes practice, and the worst case that can happen if you don't is to maybe have to cast a manual immolate to keep it going if needed.
I have been raiding with this macro for half a year already, and my dps has generally been as high as my gear/class/fight will allow.

I'm using a "click castsequence" for my destruction warlock.

Click 1 = Curse of the Elements
Click 2 = Immolate
Click 3 = Conflagrate
Click 4 = Chaos Bolt
Click 5 = Incinerate

I manually remove (move) the CotE (click 1), so it is not cast on trash etc.
For bosses or tougher stuff, drag the CotE back into its position.
The click macro, also clicks trinkets when available.

[Maxion]

Same on the trinkets, but with Chaos bolt over conflag, as you can see.
I might test putting conflag before chaos bolt, but I like having chaos bolt first so I can use it on trash/ solo grinding etc and get the good burst.

[Ualaa]

Actually, it might be worth bumping Chaos Bolt to position 2.
On trash, the 2nd spell is rarely needed.

For bosses, I like the DoT early, for more time to tick.
And less initial threat.

With the change to conflagrate this patch I'll have to revise this anyway.

WINNER.

I swap CoE with Seed of Corr. for AoE trash nuking.

My seed macro looks something like this:

/castseqeunce ,,,,,,,,,,seed of corruption,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,

that way you don't over spam it and waste mana

[Ualaa]

I'll try a button for SoC, see how it goes.
Thanks.

Ah never mind that, the glyph still works like before, so my macro is fine.
