#showtooltip Sinister Strike /startattack /cast Sinister Strike

Here's a macro for those hordes of small fry you might come across in dungeons and while leveling.  Normally when your target dies, it'll change targets but not automatically start your attack until you hit a special attack or otherwise initiate auto-attacks.  Now when you're out of energy after a kill, you can immediately open up on the next before you recover the 40 energy for the next Sinister Strike.  It may only get you an extra second of auto attacks, but every second counts in the long run when your offense is primarily weapon damage and poisons!

Keep in mind that the scripting language is evolving and may be edited with major and minor patches.  These macros are foolproof and should always work, but the deeper you get into the world of macros, the more likely your creation will be destroyed with a patch down the lines.  Be careful with how much you rely on macros.  Just like add-ons, they are a part of the game that might not always be there for you and if you are a lost puppy without your rogue macros and add-ons, you've spoiled yourself!  So use them to enhance your rotation games and response times, and not replace your rotation and ability to target enemies in a pinch.
