Wand Macro not working

I've been having a problem with my Wand shooting, and I finally figured out what the problem is.

Here is a line from the 2.3.2 patch notes that I missed:

/cast will toggle spells again unless the name is prefixed with an exclamation mark, e.g. /castsequence Steady Shot, !Auto Shot

So, this apparently affects abilities that switch on and off like Shoot: Wand, Auto Shot, and Attack.  They changed these abilities a while back so that if you macro'd them, they would automatically start up, but not cancel - thus you could spam a macro that had /cast Shoot and it wouldn't cancel on you.

In 2.3.2 they changed that back, but added a feature where you can put an exclamation point in front of the spell name to make it a "switch it on only" kind of thing instead of a toggle.

Very nice touch!

Whoops! As I was saying: Thanks for this! This really helped me out, I was googling for quite some time before I ran into this. Nice find! ^_^
