they do indeed look like macros to me.
/smartass off

Seriously though, only other thing i'de reccomend doing is unbinding your "q" and "e" keys and use everything around your wasd, like i have q,e,z,x,c,v,f,g,t, all bound to do something so i dont have to reach with the other hand or move my hand away from my movement keys to do what i need to do.
and also i'de make 1,2,3,4,5 your most used buttons, seems like they are for the most part.

Other than that if you are looking for advanced macros, check out the wiki or just search for shammy macros or some such

[daggerwind]

[Kedash00]

yes it does

[daggerwind]

yes it does

/very happy

[daggerwind]

Macro:
You are hardcoding assisting on your main into your macros which can be a real problem in certain cases. In BGs if your main dies and is booted to the GY then your clones won't be able to target anything. You cannot switch leaders. In PvE certain CC like Hex or Charm type CC will really ruin your day.

If your goal is arena and you chalk a loss of your main up as a loss in the game then I suppose it is fine, otherwise you may want to look at solutions like focus based assist or an FTL setup which is a bit more difficult to grasp.

I am not sure if the /w in your follow macros are really necessary. It is going to create a metric ton of spam. Look at addons like Jamba to help with following and managing your group.

Button e:
Elemental Focus is a talent, not an ability, you cannot use it, it is passive. Should it be Elemental Mastery? If this is the case then you need to take Elemental Mastery out of the castsequence as the castsequence will block on EM if it is on cooldown. Have /cast Elemental Mastery on a separate line before your castsequence.

You may also want to take a look at the shaman macros in the Fursphere Macro Compendium thread. Just do a search for it.




Talents:
Are you primarily PvP focused?
Elemental Warding, Reverberation, Astral Shift may look good on paper but you may want to reconsider. Shamanism 5/5 is a must, Eye of the Storm is a life saver, instant ghost wolf is awesome, and you may want to pick up Elemental Weapons as well. For PvP the damage reduction talents might make more sense but I am not sure if it really makes much of an impact.

EDIT: Apparently Elemental Warding, Reverbration and Astral Shift *are* really good for PvP so ignore what I said above. Instant Ghost Wolf and Eye of the Storm are still great talents so you may want to drop some of the mana related talents and pick those up instead.

Long term, you'll get the best results (I'm assuming right handed)...

Right hand on the mouse.
This controls mouse-look and movement.

Left hand on the keyboard.
Use these keybinds with or without mod keys:
12345, QWERT, ASDFG, ZXCVB.
That's 20 keys, you should also be able to reach:
Left Alt (Thumb), Left Ctrl (Pinky) and Left Shift (Pinky)
Which gets you a ton more keys.



Take it with a grain of salt however.
I don't use all of these keybinds myself.
But the important ones for PvP, you'd want easily accessible with the left hand alone.
