How to make a macro in WoW that casts random spells?

I want to have a macro that does something like
/cast.random Crusader strike
/cast.random judgement of light
/cast.random hammer of justice
something like that so it will cast any of those spells randomly, not in order

I thought they "fixed" /castrandom so it acted like /castsequence?

No.

BTW, /userandom is one byte shorter then /castrandom.

nah, castsequence will cast them in the order listed assuming cooldowns are finished each time you click the button.

castrandom will choose one of the items on the list at random and try and cast it.

For example. This is my mage's polymorph macro. I have had to add repeats of the spells to help randomise them more.
Code:
/castrandom [button:2, target=focus] Polymorph(Rank 4), Polymorph(Turtle),Polymorph(Pig),Polymorph(Rank 4),Polymorph(Turtle),Polymorph(Pig),Polymorph(Rank 4), Polymorph(Turtle),Polymorph(Pig)
/focus [nobutton:2]

The "fix" that Faraque is probably thinking of is that a /castrandom macro will get "stuck" on a spell if it fails to cast (cooldown, etc.) until it is cast successfully.
