Hey

my dps increase was about 200-300 from using this macro. just hope blizz doesnt fix this.

/cast !Auto shot
/cast [target=pettarget, exists] Kill command
/cast Steady shot
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

try it its Amazing!
 
Its just a variant of the old famous one button spamming macro all BM hunters use. Its been around for ages. Allthough, I wouldnt use that version for the simple reason your KC commands get stuck using the /cast command. And you can only get your autoshots working once your pet scores another critical hit and you need to do a manual KC to get the macro unstuck. Its very annoying and happens randomly from time to time.

The current best one out there thats tested and proven to work well is the following BM 2.3.2 friendly macro :

#showtooltip Steady Shot
/castsequence reset=3 Steady Shot, !Auto Shot
/castrandom [target=pettarget, exists] Kill Command
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

Does the same job, but the reset timer helps a lot and also the /cast command is replaced with /castrandom
You can lower the reset value depending on how hard and often you spam the macro. For me I had best results with 3.
 
I have not notice the kill command getting stuck tbh, whats the difference between /cast and /castrandom?, i still manualy weave my arcane and multi shots in between.
 
There is a problem with the /cast command in the sense, if you spam it, sometimes your autoshot gets stuck, and you will see your KC button faded out. Only way to get it unstuck is to wait till you get another critical hit and your button lights up again. Its pretty well documented on the hunter macro forums, and its very very random. I had times it worked fine for a day or two, and sometimes it got stuck 3/ 4 times on one boss fight. Very annoying. As for arcane shots, yea I do the same... I also pop a arcane (even multi shot in betweeb my shots :)

I can get you the link on the forums if you want, but its book marked on my work pc.

tested on dr boom , with hawk and rapid fire the highest i got was 1380dps, after rapid it went down to 950-1000. my gear is T5/MH BT quality. that macro gave me around 200-300 more dps i would say.
 
Yea definately fixed it early sat morning, there was a aimed shot/multishot bug that loads of ppl were exploitin in BG's and Arena where they could fire simultaneous aimed shots instantly with some doing like 12k dmg in 6sec, I just hope blizz looks into our auto shot timer for the next patch.
 
Here is the post I mentioned earlier about the KC macro getting stuck :

This problem is so annoying, and what makes it worse its very very random.
You can have it not happen for 2 / 3 days, and other times you can have it happen 5 / 6 times a night on boss encounters.

The following post gave me the solution and up to today, I have had no issues with my KC command messing up my autofire sequence when it gets stuck.
