Third time you're getting an infraction for shitty posts, start using a spellchecker and stop abbreviating random words if you want to keep posting.

That means you never need to change your macro for CC fights to avoid breaking sheep and you have better mana efficiency for single target dps. Also I'd say that the macro given in post 597 would be better if it started with steadyshot, generally it gives a better tighter rotation. To be honest you're better just not using multishot and sticking to the 5 shot 1:1.5 macro.

It does equal or more dps (from personal expirience and others that have posted WWS).
Has better mana efficiency.
Is a generally shorter macro which means you can complete a full rotation in less time allowing more mobility.

I used to use a full multishot, arcane, steady, auto macro but since I've used this I can't think why anyone would do it any other way.

Id say starting macro with autoshot is better. At the moments when youve moved or did smth else and the macro is reset youd start with auto then imediately start casting steady, this way youd just get a free autoshot everytime macro is reset by the timer or at the start of the fight. With steady as an opener you wasted the time casting steady and multi/arcane while you could use that time for autoshot cooldown.
