This is primarily gonna be of interest to warriors out there, but I use this for my priest. Dug it up out of the worldofwarcraft forums actually, first useful thing I've dredged out of that cesspool. Ever.

What this does is switch you between 2h and 1h/offhand (offhand can be sheild, weapon, or offhand thingy, doesn't matter). Put the mainhand weapon in the farthest left bag, upper-left slot, and the offhand directly right of it, and the 2h equipped. It does not trigger global cooldown, NOR DOES IT INTERFERE WITH YOUR SWING TIMER (edit: as close as I can tell your current swing finishes, then the macro takes place instantly, so you will never lose a swing).

To move the inventory slots, change the numbers in the PickupContainerItem statements. The first number is your bag, numbered right to left 0 to 4 (backpack is 0). The second number is the slot, numbered left to right and up to down (5 is farthest left, second row down).

Enjoy. Warriors, break out the unbridled wrath and two fast 1hs for charging up that rage bar.

If you stick /cast shieldbashblahblah in it, that was the exact macro I was using before they gave pummel back. The only bad part is that the script gets confused by lag.

I use cosmos

/saveset 1 (doomsaw)
/saveset 2 (shield/sword)
/saveset 3 (aoe trident for raiding or groups of noobs)

Make a macro
/loadset 1
/loadset 2
/loadset 3

Labeled my macros Warrior, Tank, Aoe. Very easy, I just click the buttons, and it does work in the middle of battle.

It would be nice to have something like that in the nurfed ui :P

[Dashiva]

You dont even need a ui.

/macro

New: "Shield"
/equip Thrash Blade
/equip Draconian Deflector

[Shamiko]

If you wanna change full gear though thats too much typing.

/saveset 1 remembers everything your wearing
/loadset 1 trys to equip everything after you typed save.

Less typing is good for us lazy gamers.

I've been using the macro mentioned by OP for a whiiiile now.
Simple -- one button that does it all!
:)

I've tried the other crap, sorry this is the easiest one button switch there is. Same button to switch from sword/shield to 2 handed axe and vice versa...quick and easy.

Or you could use what I found....StanceSets addon. Lets you configure your weaponsetup PER stance, as well as having 3 diffrent combos in each stance. 1 button and it flips between them. It also autoswitches on stance change...its perfect.

Is this somehow different from dragging the items to a hotbar and then clicking the hotkey for it, which equips the items?

I've always done it that way, and it seems to work flawlessly. Or...?

That's the best way. But I also have different belts, bracers, chest plates depending on what i'm doing.

If i'm main tank i have a +defense +stam set of armor and weps, if i'm off tanking i equip crit gear. I like just clicking one button to load all those up instead of dragging it all around. And if your equipping sword/shield you can get it done in one button instead of taking up 2 slots, and I dont know about you but my main bar, 2nd bar, and popup bar are already filled.

[SYNthZ]

The difference between placing the items in hotbars and right clickin them to this is the fact I can equip 2 different items at the touch of one button...using the same button to re equip what I had prior as well. Saving space on the hotbar and as well placing only one hotkey.

yes, because the same button will take you from 2h to dual weild, or dual wield to 2h.
