Step 1 dot, step 2 all your dps abilities you want to use and put a delay on step 2 to not pass back to 1 for 21s. This will ensure that every 21s your dot gets casted.
Thanks a lot that inspired me and here's what I did, working 100% fine:

Below, is the example for a sorcerer dps single target cycle. I did another for multi target and also single target tank and multi target tank.

Mapped Key DPS SINGLE TARGET:
Hold any Keystroke... --> Default (Off)
Execute a Step... --> pressed OR released

Advanced:
Reset to Step 1 after 240s from the first Hotkey press

Step 1:
Affliction -> all other

Step 2:
Shock -> all other
Do not advance to the next step ...for at least 1.5s

Step 3:
Force Lightning -> all other
Do not advance to the next step ...for at least 7.5s (enough time for two so hopefully it procs for insta spell)

Step 4:
Shock -> all other (Shock is up again and is great DPS with the possible proc)
Do not advance to the next step ...for at least 1.5s

Step 5:
Crushing Darkness -> all other
Do not advance to the next step ...for at least 1.5s (it has a cast time but most of the time is instant due to FL proc)

Step 6:
Force Lightning -> all other
Do not advance to the next step ...for at least 4.5s

Step 7:
Shock -> all other
Do not advance to the next step ...for at least 1.5s

I've tested it in a Flashpoint and I'm quite happy with it.
The whole cycle last about 18s+1 GCD which is really close to the 21s uptime of Affliction.
I'll tune up yet, as well as adjust to Alacrity as it goes up but it's a method I like that somehwhat replicates the castsequence we're used to.

It might even be a method of doing things already posted before and for that I apologize but I never understood it this way untill now.

On my DPS key I call the Assist, Trinkets, Temp Buffs (etc...), DPS and Tank Key Maps and that's how I organized it.

Thank you again to all of you.
Follow fixed, got my "macros" I'm a happy panda (pun intended )
