Here is a tl;dr version of pages and pages of discussion of this rather simple topic;
/castsequence reset=5 Holy Shield,Hammer of the Righteous,Consecration,Shield of Righteousness,Judgement of Wisdom,Hammer of the Righteous,Holy Shield,Shield of Righteousness,Consecration,Hammer of the Righteous,Judgement of Wisdom,Shield of Righteousness
Bind it to one have of the keyboard, and then bind the other half to your taunts. Apply liberal facerolling.
You made me lulz! ;p
it resets the reset every time you hit it. if you're spamming the button, it'll reset 5 sec AFTER the last time you hit it
And that's the good part of it. If you for some reason have to stop your rotation because of positioning or something you'll have a fresh rotation once you get back into place (assuming you stop for more than 5 sec).

SoR can be *!@#$y. Sometimes me stepping forward or facing badly and it %^&*s itself. Youd think HotR would too but it usually behaves well.
Unless I did something bad in the syntax there. I cannot log in to test!

Nice, so i can just bind this to all my buttons and spam the crap out of it? Or do I actually have to wait for every GCD to finish.
Tried it on XT hardmode yesterday
(zzz boring) and for some reason shield of righteousness wasn't used often so I didn't bother with it too long.
Haha, so did I (well, Tuesday)! And yeah, the macro just makes it way too easy and boring. Not that an efficient rotation is really necessary. By the time the fight was over I had 1.5 million threat and the next highest dpser was well below 1 million.
Really good TPS is really only important on things like Hodir hardmode where everyone gets damage boosts but you.
It didn't do anything wrong for me, it used shield of righteousness every time it was supposed to. You don't need to wait for the GCD, just spam the crap out of it. It won't move on to the next spell until the last one is cast.

Smart. But how about if you want to substitute? Is it possible to reset cast sequences, so that you can taunt, start at a new point in the rotation, then continue spamming? Or better yet, on the side, have a second 'spam' button that casts the next ability off CD, until you've completed that rotation, then switch back to spamming this, I suppose.
I'd be inclined to reduce the castsequence reset timer to 2-3 seconds. Otherwise, if you need to taunt instead of Judge, your Holy Shield will be down for a while before the sequence resets itself. You're not likely to accidentally reset it by not spamming for 2 seconds :P

I just made it to spam in 5mans really. Also, I have HS bound to something else, as it is the most important spell in the rotation. It takes priority, so if I taunt and its coming off CD but the macro rotation is behind, I spam it, and consecrate. If youre in a TPS race, then I'd whip out the two macro version for better flexibility. I do not like doing things manual but a separate HS button is a must. If there was no lame defualt 255char restriction on macros I would of made something a bit better. I might try that later as I know of an addon that extends that to 1024.
