Spells which do not trigger the gcd.

Your statement is correct if you have to press more then one time (like with /castsequence) then it will work.

My examples were macros that fire with a single key press.

I think I misread what you were saying in the first post, my bad. A lot of macros which have spells in them which all trigger the gcd have to be spammed to fire them all off yes, and are iffy at best.

Such as the following macro for my Hunter I posted in other threads:

/cast Cobra Shot
/cast Explosive Shot
/cast Arcane Shot
/cast Black Arrow
/cast Kill Shot

You can use this macro, but you have to spam it several times a second for it to fall through to the next spell in the list. As of now, this is working for my hunter and I'm pulling around 20k on the target dummies without buffs/cooldowns with an ilvl of around 389, give or take a point or two.

You can spam this to fire off more than just the Cobra Shot, BUT, if you just sit there and press it sparingly, or once or twice before the global cool down cycles through, it will only keep casting the Cobra Shot. Us multiboxers learn to spam a macro such as this, or the others shared on this site multiple times a second, I've shared my rotations with others in the past and they claim it doesn't work for them or they tend to only press it when the global cool down makes it's rotation, which will make the macro unusable.

Tho these do in fact share the same global cool down, they will not all be used at the same exact time. The only way that say Explosive Shot in this can possibly be used at the same time as other spells, unless I'm wrong on this, is when Lock and Load procs it as a free cast and it fires without triggering the GCD.
