Lots of people like to macro heroic strike to revenge because of the glyph. That can and will lead to you not having enough rage to do an ability that you should be prioritising over heroic strike at various times, again reducing your performance.
Macros for announcing your shield wall, doing cosmetic things like clearing error frames, whatver - sure. Macros to try and work your threat generation will always mark you as a subpar tank.

I'll agree with this, with the exception of, well, some obvious exceptions. If you get a 100% free HS with each and every Revenge you cast, it only makes sense to macro the HS to Revenge. Doing something weird, though, like macroing TClap, SWave, DemoShout, TClap together (or whatever), though, is beyond weird, and into that "marked" category of tanks.
