For your Interface I would recommend using Weakauras and Bigwigs.

To make a macro trinket, you will want to utilize the “/use” macro command. Your trinkets are in slot 13 and 14, so to use one the command is: /use 13 Since trinkets are on the global cooldown, you can combine them with any spell you want afterwards. .Using Trinkets / Inventory Items Vanilla doesn’t have support for /use command etc. That exists in retail unless you use an addon for it. To use equipment with right click functionality you need to know the slotID. This example will use the trinket in your top slot.
- I tried the macro but doesn't work for me. Here's a copy paste of the macro: /script UseInventoryItem(13); /cast Greater Heal(Rank 3) it just says 'another action is in progress' and casts the heal without using the trinket first. The trinket in question is Blessed Prayer Beads. It doesn't trigger GCD but has a castanimation, is that why?
- Regardless, I ran multiple macros on the same slot with the bar auto switching for stances, pushing far past 255 char limit (probably 400+). When creating macros based on 'click to use' items (especially trinkets), the common practice is to enter the actual item name.
- Use equipment slot (for engi gadgets, trinkets, offhands, etc) #showtooltip /use number. Uses the item in the slot number number. 1 = helm, 6 = belt, 8 = boots, 17 = offhand, 13 = trinket1, 14 = trinket2. Feel free to add mouseover conditions and such to this! Pet-specific binds, with modifier set.
Weakauras will give you the opportunity to import a lot of helpful stuff to keep track of your cooldowns, buffs and debuffs.

BigWigs for having a boss mod helping you out to plan our cooldowns ahead of time and be prepared for certain abilities that are about to happen.
Macros
Here are some useful Hunter macros everyone should have:
Trueshot, Trinket & Berserking Macro
If you have a trinket which cooldown lines up perfectly with trueshot, you use both at the same time. This just gives an extra action bar slot for anything you want. In case the trinket is out of cd and trueshot is not, you just press the macro to use the trinket.
Resonation Arrow Macro
This is for any spell that has a target reticle such as traps, flare and binding shot.
Aspect of the Turtle Cancel Aura
You're unable to cast spells while being in Aspect of the Turtle so it might be useful to cancel it sometimes.

Misdirection Mouseover or Focus Macro
Misdirection is an important ability in Dungeons but also in Raids: This macro will cast Misdirection on the target you are currently mousing over. Otherwise, it will cast on your Focus target.
IT'S IMPORTANT FOR BM HUNTERS TO USE THIS MACRO FOR EVERY OFFENSIVE SPELL
The auto-cast system in the game is super slow on pets and you might miss out make sure to use this macro.

Another important topic is the pet attacks, you should macro them into all of your abilities when you're using a pet to guarantee the pet will use them on cooldown and not miss out on damage.

Here is one example for Barbed Shot. It is recommended to macro these into every important ability while using a pet.
Some auras that I find really useful are the buff trackers, such as for Trueshot, Precise Shots, Posthaste. If you are hiding your action bars as I do, Aimed Shot stacks and any cooldown tracker is also really good.
Apart from class/spec specific WA you can also track Combat Meditation and Let Go of the Past.
Afenar does some really good WA so you can check him out at https://wago.io/p/Afenar or you can find a wide selection of Hunter auras at https://wago.io/shadowlands-weakauras/classes/hunter.
