I don't think we have one of these yet, we have good macros scattered around guides, video threads and other threads, but not a consolidated thread dedicated to macros.
I am a firm believer that, optimized / up-to-date macros as well as UI account for 49% of the success, (the other 49% comes from practice and experience and 2% comes from being talented/smart, 49+49+2=100)
Rules: this thread will be free of modifiers such as shift/control to keep things simple, because you can bind those modified keys in a stand alone way (e.g., you can have two icons, one bound to F, one bound to shift+F, etc.) Modifiers are basically "macro-slot" savers, they don't really improve your gameplay efficiency.
Keep in mind that it is impossible to have all macros here, as there are infinite ways to combine abilities, so each macro listed will have to bring forward a useful idea or fact. you may need to combine multiple ideas to form a single macro that works best for you.
1, 2-in-1, credit to @Chey
This one really is changing my gameplay significantly, I am now at least 30% more efficient than before.
With one key press, this macro will
Stop casting what you are currently casting (this step is helpful because it makes "fake casting" much easier to pull off), then
Use Noggenfogger Elixir and drop Poison Extraction Totem at your feet in front of you, slightly to the left (this item alone is worth faction switching to horde imo), then
If target or mouse-over is enemy, then cast A (replace A with your own ability)
If target or mouse-over is friendly, then cast B
if A/B don't even have CD, then you can #showtooltip Noggenfogger Elixir to keep track of how many you have left or #showtooltip Poison Extraction Totem to keep track of its CD or you can use #showtooltip, this way you know for sure which ability will be cast. change "#showtooltip A" to "#showtooltip B" if you want to display the CD of B instead of A.
If target and mouse-over are opposite, then mouse-over takes priority
2, Double Bombing, credit to @Gandara
With 1 key press, this drops both your frag belt and Cobalt Frag Bomb at cursor (both will be successfully cast while moving)
It also uses Noggenfogger Elixir and drops Poison Extraction Totem
Again, it only requires 1 key press and it actually drops both bombs. Change @cursor to @player if you want to drop them at your location, instead of cursor.
3, Conditional cast based on equipped weapon, credit to @tence
Please change Templar's Verdict and/or Shield of the Righteous to whatever is appropriate.
Note that, I have added /cast [help] word of glory to tence's macro, this way, you can save half a key, this button is basically your all-in-one finisher (that uses 3 holy power), it casts Templar's Verdict or Shield of the Righteous depending on what weapon you have on, it casts word of glory if you have a friendly target selected.
I am sure you can squeeze in @mouseover somewhere but I am not interested in ret enough to go through the hassle, the idea should be similar to the first macro above.
I am also having trouble getting the icon to switch based on the weapon equipped, if anyone can help out, that would be greatly appreciated.
4, Double eating. credit to @tence
because you can eat both a darkmoon daggermaw and a mana cake, this lets you regen super fast with minimal downtime.
5, to be continued (sorry for the slow update speed, I personally test every macro before i post them)
