Anti-Rogue macro idea

I just started doing pvp with my mage again, only problem is the macro I usually use to unstealth rogues immediately isn't working right.
It's rather simple,
/use Medalion of the Horde
/cast Arcane Explosion
I tested it and it doesn't fire off the trinket. only the spell. Would anyone here might know whats wrong?

Well I just Shift Clicked the item in game for the macro. So unless blizzard misspelled it. I don't know why they would. But I know ingame I have it right.

Not if I blink away immediately, My timing for these kinds of things are rather good. so I can blink away once I unstealth him.

You do realize that after you burn your trinket in a sap the rogue will just blind you and restealth right?
Not even that. A lot of times if we are just sapping you, we are way out of range for your arcane explosion. Sap has a decent range on it and all rogues in pvp will be specced into fast stealth. Trinketing sap is usually not a good idea if we have not unstealthed.

Don't say that trinketting a sap is never a good idea. What if you're the only one of defense, and he's about to cap while you're sapped in AB? Even if he does blind you, that's still extra time for a teammate to come help you.
Another time is if you can see him while he's in stealth. If I get sapped and see the rogue because he walked right in front of me, you can bet I'm gonna trinket, blink, and insta-flamestrike that location before he can move. Blink has a 20 yard range, not to mention the extra space I can move with the 70% extra speed while I'm flamestriking. This leaves at the very least 13 yards for him to close before he can blind me. By that time I'll have put LB on him, be running away, casting scorch, and using blast wave if he gets too close.
Edit: lol I just realized I read this situation wrong. Usually when this is brought up there's people saying "ZOMG DONT TRINKET SAP BADDY" so I kinda jumped the gun... I'll leave the post here though because it may help another fire mage.

I doubt that. Arcane Explosion and Sap both have a 10yd range. Still not saying its a very good idea to blow your trinket on a Sap, just saying odds are decent that he can hit you with Arcane Explosion if he's fast.
Do it all the time on my rogue. I sap on the move. I will be out of his range before he can trinket. Pretty sure most rogues with any sense would do this.

9/10 times you don't want to trinket Sap. You leave yourself open to the other, more effective ones we have.
It's situation based really. I have seen sometimes where trinketing Sap is unavoidable. But mostly it's just a panic reaction that new players do when they are suprised.
