if you dont feel you can play without castsequence macro's, then perhaps you should choose an easier spec. Theres a lot less buttons to press with blood dps than there is for say unholy tanking. Also theres much less overall stress while dps'ing than there is while tanking.
the only thing you should need a macro for is to cast runestrike when tanking. All it does is make life easier and theres no drawbacks to it.

Arls I think you missed my point completely, to be a GOOD tank, you can't be hopping back and forth between your threat meter and your ability bar, you've got to be tabbing targets actively, watching party frame, watching your environment, there's SO many aspects of tanking that separate the best from the rest. if you're sitting around watching omen and pressing 1-= in a certain order how are you panning your camera? how are you double checking alternate targets?
No, i got your point. See i actually am a good tank. I can do all those things you listed simultaneously without using castsequence macro's. My point was if you cannot, then perhaps you shouldn't be a tank.

Move your camera? Hold left-mouse button and pan. Takes a tenth of a second.
Change your facing? Hold right-mouse and pan OR move camera first the direction you might have to move, then push left- and right-mouse together.
Don't bind anything beyond the 5 key. Cluster your abilities around your movement keys. Personally, I have my taunts on my mousewheel click: Death Grip for no modifier, Shift + MM = Dark Command and Ctrl + MM = Malygos Spark DG macro. My fingers never move more than a key away from my movement keys.
And hell, I hide my ability bar. There's nothing at all to worry about having to compensate by using a macro.
