I forgot about the global cooldown of Arcane Shot so basically you can add only 1 special between auto shots as a BM hunter.

But lythrdskynrd said that the most efficient special for a BM is the steady shot.

So its really just spamming this kind of macro.

/castsequence Steady Shot, Auto Shot
/cast Kill Command

Interesting question: Does arcane shot hit for a higher damage than the steady shot?
If yes you can alternate the macro and put a Arcane Shot in.

sth like: /castsequence Arcane, Auto, Steady, Auto, Steady, Auto

Problem: If you activate rapid fire your rotation will screw up even with a 3.2spd bow because you will fire much faster than 2 seconds and therefore a arcane shot will hold the macro until it is fired.

fastened_bow_spd = bow_spd / (quiver * iaoth * serpents_swiftness * rapid_fire)
bow_spd = 3.2 / (1.15*1.15*1.2*1.4) = 1.44

So its probably the best to just use steady and auto shout. Steady shot scales with haste effects, cooldowns do not.
