New prot warr, in need of some macros.

I just dinged 40 on my prot warr, and dual specc'd him prot, i am wanting to tank and seem to do ok, but i need some macros it seems.

I am used to tanking on my 80 prot paladin, and they are both completely different, it seems warriors have more buttons to push, things to watch, and at low lvls rage starvation is a pain.

Some macros i am looking for getting is combining shield slam and shield block into one button/keybind, that uses shield block before a shield slam occurs, but still allows the usage of shield slam if shield block is on CD.

Another macro which would be very useful is combining an auto attack to my main abilities at this lvl, like revenge, shield slam, heroic strike and cleave, because tabbing then having to auto attack seems to take way to long for me to be able to get enough threat, or rage.

Also wondering if there is a way to combine tab and auto attack, so every time you tab, while attacking a different mob, you can auto attack the mob you tab to without having to hit the auto attack button.

If anyone has any useful information how to make these ideas happen, or threads with the information i would be extremely grateful for your help.

Thank you in advance. =)

Auto attack is toggle so as long as your attack is on tabbing wont stop it.
You can make macro for them tho

/targetnearest (check exact string in other macros)
/attack

Make sure you make macros for cleave and hs
/cast !Heroic Strike
&
/cast !Cleave

Exclamation before the attack wont "turn it off" on spamming the key

You can tie any 2 attacks to single macro only if one of them is not using GCD, so shield slam/block will work

#Showtooltip Shield Slam (check exact syntax)
/Cast Shield Block
/Cast Shield Slam

That will do the job. However it will cast shield block even if shield slam is "cooling" so make sure that you put shield block on your action bar to know if you should press it - if shield slam is on CD you are wasting part of it.

If you use revenge glyph make sure that you use revenge+hs macro - again it's stupid
/cast Revenge
/cast Heroic Strike

Also each attack that you want to toggle your autoattack even if you dont have rage to perform it

/Cast Devastate (just example, you can put any spell in it)
/attack

* Double check syntaxes, idea and concept is here and it works for sure, maybe something needs to be written differently.

"/attack" toggles auto-attack on/off from what I remember. Whereas "/startattack" will always start attacking, and never toggle it off. Just throwing that one in there as you might want to use it instead in some of those macros.
