Viper mana management - a great macro to optimize it

Something that every hunter hates: Aspect of the Viper. Everyone has its own way to manage it but if you find yourself using macros on a regular basis I strongly suggest to have a look at this simple trick to greatly optimize the use of Viper:
Mana Saving Macro
source:
outdps.com
To quote the authot's article:
our goal when you’re in regen mode is to try and get the minimum amount of mana needed to finish the fight. The closer you are to 0 mana when the boss collapses
, the less damage you wasted in viper.
I've always been switching from Hawk to viper back and forth to refill -completely or partially- my mana bar. While under Viper, I just run my normal rotation until I'm satisfied with mana and switch back to Hawk.
The outdps.com solution gives you a far superior speed when switching aspects (they're out of the global cooldown so you can just macro them to any shot) and suggests to use ONE shot only (Steady) while under Viper. Well... I have to admit that I had a shock after some basic boss-dummy test.
Give it a try, in my opinion it can change your mana management and greatly improve your DPS.

test it out during this weeks 10 mans since in most cases 25 mans are usually pretty good on mana regen.
10 and 5man too, lots of hunters run Heroics of course (and they can be a real pain for mana regen, if you have low dps). Try on a dummy first, it will take few mins to master the "alt" trick while shooting :)
