It will be after the next patch. They are killing off lots of
"intelligent" behaviour, but they are also opening lots of new
options.

The page is a bit messily written, but you can read more here:
http://www.wowwiki.com/Most_used_macros (scroll down to "2.0 Macro
Guide").

Basically you will want to put this into a macro:
/castsequence Frost Armor, Arcane Intellect, Find Herbs

Then you will cast all three by pressing that button three times.
Perhaps put in a "reset=10" or something just before "Frost Armor".

Another example, taken from that wiki page, is this:
/castsequence reset=combat/target Corruption, Immolate, Curse of Agony

It will cast all three of your DoTs in sequence, but the sequence gets
reset back to the start if you either leave combat or change target.

Very interesting. It's too bad you still need to press it each time
(although this is a good feature in general, just not for what I want),
but maybe that will allow me to put everything into one macro (food,
water, etc.) and just use a reset when I don't need those things.

Thanks!

Try Autobuff for the buffs:

For conjuring I am quite sure some addons exist but I never used any
myself. Perhaps Quanjure does what you want:

Just right-click on the food or drink. Or drag it to an actionbar and click
on it there.

But I wanted to add eating and drinking to a macro so I can do both with
one click. I'm wondering what those commands would be.

I think that "/use <foodname>" eats the food. I don't know if you can
do two /use commands in one macro and have them both work with on
keypress though.

Ah, I see - it can probably be done but I've never considered it, there's
so many times when I only need one that it seems a waste of food or water
to always do both!

Sorry, perhaps I should have pointed out that this is only relevant
after the next patch.

That was my initial thought, but since I can conjure food and water,
it's not really a waste of money!

I tried /use but that didn't work, unless maybe you can't do it with
conjured items.

Fair point Good luck finding one then, if you do get one I may try it
on my own mage
