My main healing macro:
/cast Divine Plea
/use Talisman of Resurgence
This way when I use Plea, it isn't such a healing hit (that is the badge 245 trinket).
I have mouseover actions set with Clique.

Not a good idea. I tend to use DP in places where I'm not going to be healing. The 50% nerf is pretty heavy, and when you nerf your output that much, I don't like using trinkets to "offset" it. Also using AW is not a good idea during this, because the 50% nerf to your healing is applied over everything else. if you would heal for 10k with AW and all your trinkets proc'd, then it will hit for 5k. If you hit for 7k with the same spell and with no trinkets proc'd, then it's down to 3.5k. Bad idea to use trinkets. Bad idea to use AW. Bad idea to use it during "normal" healing in a raid, as well. The gap in your healing will be enough to kill a tank.
#showtooltip Holy Shock
/use 13
/use 14
/cast Divine Favor
/cast
Only uses those if I'm combat, and casts on my target if I do not have my mouse over a target. The 13 and 14 in there are the two trinket slots. If I have a trinket I can use, then it will be used. Since Holy Shock is something I attempt to use on every cooldown to get the most benefit from Infusion of Light and take advantage of the spell as a "chaser" to my Holy Lights, to keep my HPS up even if I've lagged behind a little.
#showtooltip Beacon of Light
/cast Divine Illumination
/clearfocus
/clearfocus
/focus
/cast Beacon of Light
/sw 1:30
/sw play
That's my "fire-and-forget" beacon macro. It casts Divine Illumination when I refresh it in combat, mostly to cut down on the crappy cost that Beacon has. In a raid, I'll be using Holy Light to catch up on the GCD I just wasted on refreshing Beacon, so I find this to be a good place to put it.
There is a timer built in to the default UI, for stretches where I go without addons, I add in the next two lines. It plays a sound when the timer expires. 1:30 is for the Beacon glyph, which I really recommend you have in place, next to Glyph of Seal of Wisdom and Glyph of Holy Light. Otherwise it is just a 1:00 timer.
#showtooltip Divine Plea
/cancelaura Divine Plea
/cast Divine Plea
That's my DP macro. It lets me cancel DP early by hitting the key it's bound to again.
The rest of my spells are done by Clique, I use similar macros to the Holy Shock one for my Hand of X spells.

You do not need to #showtooltip
<SpellName>
, if your first spell in macro is a
<SpellName>
.
Just #showtooltip is enough. Putting spell name in there is if you need an override, f.e.:
#showtooltip Healing Touch
/cast Nature's Swiftness
/cast Healing Touch

I put it in there just because that's what I'm used to. It really doesn't matter.
For this macro it actually does matter.
If you just go with #showtooltip then the first spell icon is shown and the cooldown of that first spell icon is displayed on the bar.
If you go with #showtooltip <name> then the <name> icon and cooldown are shown on the bar.
For the macro in your example you will most likely want to see the HT icon but the NS cooldown. So selecting the HT icon manually from the icon list and not using #showtooltip at all might be a good way to go ;)

Everything else was just redundant.

I think we all outlined holy-specific macros which none of those threads mention at all.

To quote yourself "You only paid attention to the first paragraph? What? Go back and read it all!"
As kenyon pointed out Hyperspace linked the macro thread which just so happens to include holy paladin macros.
It may not be a complete list of every macro everyone uses, but even if some of the macros in here are good i've got pretty much 3-4 variations of each one. Which would make it just plain overkill to post them all.
Take
#showtooltip Beacon of Light
/cast Beacon of Light
/dbm timer 90 Beacon of Light
As an example.
Instead of "/dbm timer" you can use
/in 90 /w <playername> lololol time to make more bacon!
/sw 90
or any other addon you might want to use instead of the DBM timers.
And if you dont mind using addons you basically only need 2-3 macros.
ForteX and grid+clique or healbot will sort all timers and mouseover bindings for you.
The only other macros you'll need then is disac+bubble, judge targetoftarget and maybe a bubble+HS macro.
By all means go ahead and discuss it.
I will add hyperspaces' macro thread to the helpful threads section, post any über macros there! =)
