I think so. Something like
/equipslot 16
/cast Heroic Throw
/equipslot 16
I THINK that you need to mash this three times though, because all of these actions invoke the GCD. I could be wrong on that, but try the above (not in an instance hehe).

No, that macro wont work. God I hate when people post macro without having a slight clue of how it works.
You cant do it with just one macro because of GCD. You will need a macro to switch weapons and another to use Heroic Throw.

I think you might be slightly misunderstanding what Wild is saying.
The deal is that only one command that invokes the GCD can appear in a macro. When you execute /equipslot 16 , the GCD is invoked, and any further actions that would ordinarily trigger it (like spell casts or additional weapon equips) will not occur, as they are on cooldown.
So he's saying that you simply have to have separate macros, and separate button pushes, for each action - the equip/unequip action, and the HT cast. Does that make sense?

Can't a person go around the GCD using the
/in #
command? I know that a macro that someone showed me (doing /train 18 times every 8 seconds) was able to do something a little later than the macro started, rather than having the macro attempt to perform all the actions listed at once.
If it would work, you might have something like
/equip <weapon 1>
/in 2 /cast Heroic Throw
/in 4 /cast <weapon 2>
Again, I'm not sure if it does or not, but that might get around the GCD, although you'd have to wait 4 seconds for the whole thing to go through.

the /in is from an addon and it only works for text/emote (stuff that dont do @#$% in combat)

I thought that something like that would work if you just pressed it three times--or do you still need to add /stopcasting? I thought they removed that.

Man, pressing it 3 time would just do the first line over and over. So with the stupid example:
/equipslot 16
/cast Heroic Throw
/equipslot 16
It would just do 3 time /equipslot 16
Macros cant play the game for you. Deal with it.

1) /stopcasting is no more required and it is alway done by default now
2) /stopcasting doesnt put the macro on hold. It just stop whatever you are casting right now
