For you who don't read the US forums that much here is a short version of it
Currently, using '/cast' is very simple. The command format is '/cast <spellname>' (which casts the highest rank of the listed spell), or '/cast <spellname>(Rank <#>)'. Some examples:
/cast Greater Heal
/cast Arcane Intellect(Rank 3)
That is the simple way of doing a macro
In the new system, this format still works just the same, however you can now add options to give more flexibility to your /cast statements. The new command format for '/cast' is: '/cast [<first set of options>] <first spellname>; [<second set of options>] <second spellname> ; [<third set of options>] <third spellname>; ...
In short a macro could look like this
/cast [help, combat] Flash Heal; [help, nocombat] Greater Heal; Smite
This macro will cast Flash Heal on a friendly target if you (not the target) are in combat. If you are not in combat and the target is friendly, it will cast Greater Heal. If neither of these is true (i.e. the target is not friendly) it will cast Smite.
/cast [help] Greater Heal; [harm, combat] Smite; [harm, nocombat] Mind Flay
This will cast Greater Heal on a friendly target, or Smite if the player is in combat, or Mind Flay if the player is not in combat.
For a hunter a good example for a easy macro to replace 3 buttons is.
/cast [target=pet,dead] Revive Pet; [nopet] Call Pet; Mend Pet
This will revive your pet if it's dead, call your pet if you don't have him out, or mend your pet.
I have been trying to learn most of the new system and I must say it is so much easier then ever before to do macros.
If you need help with any macro ask and I will help you write it.
