Perhaps it's a script that you are not allowed to run? We can't help you without knowing what you were trying.

I tried to do this:

/script CN=CastSpellByName;GCP=GetComboPoints();if (GCP>=5) or UnitHealth("Target")/UnitHealthMax("Target")<.3 then CN("Ferocious Bite");end;if (GCP<1) then CN("Rake");end;if (GCP<5) or UnitHealth("Target")/UnitHealthMax("Target")>.3 then CN("Claw");end;

I'm not 100% positive on this one, but I think it's because Blizzard blocked "smart" macro's in the 2.0 patch. Meaning, anything that uses logic to change what action it does is prevented during combat.

You hit the nail on the head. Macros like this no longer work since 2.0.

Yep. A macro/addon can *not* choose a spell for you.

No, 2.0 blocked it from doing everything.

You could do a castsequence macro, assign the different abilities to different mousebuttons/modifiers... Read these two stickies:

hmm... there was a sticky by Neuron, too... it seems to have disappeared.
