I don't think you can count how many times a spell/button was used in game, so a system like that will probably violate some of Blizzards rules.
The hard and fast rule that I have heard time and time again is: Only one action per button press with anything that isn't an in-game macro or addon.

So, for example, you can't have an outside program send keys 2-5 every time you press the 1 key so that it fires off whatever ability isn't on the GCD.

As to a tool, AutoHotKey does have the ability to handle programming logic. It obviously can't hook into the WoW client and do something like "when I press 1, if art of war is up cast exorcism, otherwise cast divine storm" but you can have it do conditionals and other stuff. I really didn't do much more with it than have it do 1:1 broadcasting of certain keys in game, but I did have it set up to loop through a set of questions about which screen was the master, which was the slave, which was the healer, etc., so that it would send different keys to each client.
