/castsequence & /cast, weird behaviour

[Fomeny]

Good day,

since I'm a lazy player I recently tried to set up a one-button-dps-macro on my Warlock. Actually it works somewhat, but there is some odd behaviour I don't understand. I made the following macro
(note: Translated into english, so if the name of spells doesn't exactly match, this wasn't the problem,
note2: I made this one out of my head, so it may not be 100% accurate, I'll double check when I get home)

-------------------------
/castsequence immolate,chaos bolt,,incinerate,incinerate,incinerate,incinerate, incinerate,incinerate
/cast conflagrate
-------------------------

Explanation: I expected the macro usually to stop in the "castsequence"-line as long as it has something to cast. Further I expected the conflagrate to hit 'between' the double-semmicolon (,,). This wasn't the case. Pushing the button consistently resulted in this:

Immolate --> Chaos Bolt --> Incinerate --> Conflagrate --> Incinerate

I simply can't understand, why one incinerate hits before the conflag... This simply doesn't make any sense to me. The original idea for this setup was the following: Conflag should be casted whenever it's up and available (meaning: Immolate active).

Since you can't use:
-------------------------
/cast Chaos Bolt
/cast Incinerate
-------------------------
anymore, as it stops on the first line, I tried to make a workaround, that simply uses Chaos Bolt when it's up. Actually I succeeded with the following macro:
-------------------------
/castsequence Incinerate,
/cast Chaos Bolt
-------------------------
So I thought, the one-button-dps-macro might be similarly achievable...

Sorry, I didn't explain good enough what I meant I guess. I didn't ask for a one-button-dps macro, I asked about the odd behaviour of a macro.

-------------------------
/castsequence immolate,chaos bolt,,incinerate,incinerate,incinerate,incinerate, incinerate,incinerate
/cast conflagrate
-------------------------
Results in:
Immolate --> Chaos Bolt --> Incinerate --> Conflagrate --> Incinerate

Which isn't exactly logical for me...

Further for the last link: Castrandom doesn't work anymore since quiet some time. That's actually why I started using castsequence this way

Sometimes it takes a while for it to register immolate being on the target so the conflagrate may be a bit later than you want the first time.

In any case I recommend a macro that uses /click, my solo warlock does optimal dps spamming one button.

Though what works slightly better than what you are trying, as seen in the link to my multiclass setup in my signature, for my shaman I have a similar setup but with the second line as also /castsequence, with a comma before the spell.
