Firstly, cool downs are not meant to be saved for some special occasion or rainy day. We are not talking a 1997 Caymus cabernet sauvignon; we are talking spam-worthy cool downs like wings, divine shield, ice block, etc... I know every class is different, but here is a macro I found really helpful for my healing in 5s. You should use this in the first 5-10 seconds of each match, if not sooner to get World of Warcraft Gold.

Target the person on your team that just got death gripped and spam that as fast as you can. Do not worry, if the match lasts an eternity (i.e. more than 30 seconds) you can always pop bubble and top yourself off if you are still alive. Your dps should be using similar macros. The whole point is to use an entire raids worth of cooldowns in 3-6 seconds tops to ensure that your skill is greater than your opponents. Ideally you have gear like Bandits Inskillnia, Darkmoon Card: Skill, Hand Pyroskill Gloves, etc... To increase the amount of planned RNG. The last things you want are cooldowns on the GCD about WOW GOLD!

I know this post will be controversial. I constantly hear "oh Roma, 5s is just a lolzergfest where you blow up randoms with no coordination". Nothing could be further from the truth! The best thing about 5s is that you always have a 50/50 chance of winning, because you will always -- ALWAYS -- be facing a team that is +/- 500 MMR away from you. So it is an autowin or an autoloss as soon as the gates open. As someone who likes having his destiny in his own hands, I like those odds! Besides, it is not like we are queue dodging the other 1-2 teams in the battlegroup that are queueing at prime time on a weekend. We are here to play, baby! Remember: Do not Hate, Participate.
