Thought I'd share the macro's I've written over time. These are highly customized to my gear, spec, and professions, but you can change them up as needed.
Hunter specific:
************
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Opener - this will set Hunter's Mark and send in your pet with whichever speed boost ability it uses. If you accidentally mark the wrong mob, or if you are conducting a pet-pull, alt-clicking will abort your pet's attack. It will also auto-target any mob in front of you if you press it without a current target, so be careful.
#showtooltip
/petattack
/cast Hunter's Mark
/cast Dash
/cast Dive
/cast Charge
/cast Warp
/petfollow [modifier:alt]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One Stop Pet Care Shop - This will call your pet if it is alive but not present, revive your pet if it is dead, mend your pet if it is active, and dismiss your pet on alt-click. I bind this to W so that mend pet is very easy to keep ticking during a fight. I don't have Feed Pet in this because I use Fizzwidgit's Feed-o-Matic
#showtooltip
/cast [modifier:alt] Dismiss Pet; [target=pet, dead] Revive Pet; [nopet] Call Pet; Mend Pet;
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DPS Shot Rotation - This will auto-target your pet's target if you are not in a group. I find this is very helpful in grinding, as you can loot a corpse after sending your pet to the next mob, then just start dpsing without having to make sure that you have retargeted the correct enemy. This also helps to avoid breaking your own traps, as your pet will automatically stop attacking a trapped mob and start chewing on something else. Spamming this will cast Kill Command whenever it is available, but will give you one of those "Ability is not ready yet" messages whenever it is not. Alt-click will cast Intimidation. Be sure to allow your autoshots to fire between clicks. It will open with a autoshot if you are trying to pull with a low-threat attack. I am considering replacing that with Arcane Shot(Rank 1). I added Arcane back into the rotation since the magic-dispelling buff was added. It remains to be seen whether this is worth it.
#showtooltip
/target [nogroup] pettarget
/cast [target=pettarget, exists] Kill Command
/cast [nocombat] Auto Shot
/castsequence [nomodifier:alt, combat] reset=6/combat Arcane Shot, Steady Shot, Steady Shot; [modifier:alt] Intimidation;
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh No! - This macro will cycle through all of your defensive abilities should you get aggro you can't handle. I am an herbalist, so I use the Fel Blossoms, and I am not specced into Survival for Deterrence, so be sure you modify this for the abilites you have. Alt-click will cast Scare Beast.
#showtooltip
/castsequence [nomodifier:alt] reset=30 Feign Death, Fel Blossom, Disengage, Disengage, Disengage, Disengage, Disengage, Disengage, Disengage; [modifier:alt] Scare Beast;
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stings - This uses Scorpid Sting as the default (mainly because Serpent is very mana ineffecient, and Scorpid doesn't break traps). Alt-click will cast Serpent Sting. Control-click will cast Tranq. I have never found Viper Sting to be overly useful.
#showtooltip
/target [nogroup] pettarget
/cast [modifier:alt] Serpent Sting; [modifier:ctrl] Tranquilizing Shot; Scorpid Sting;
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regen - This will cast Prowl and Shadowmeld if you have the abilities, give you your choice of normal food or any of the useful buff-foods, and drink.
#showtooltip
/use [nomodifier] Telaari Grapes
/use [modifier:alt] Warp Burger
/use [modifier:ctrl] Ravager Dog
/use [modifier:shift] Spicy Hot Talbuk
/use Purified Draenic Water
/cast Prowl
/cast Shadowmeld
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Non-Specific
**********
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fishing - Clicking this macro the first time will equip the Fishing Pole. Alt-clicking will apply the Bright Baubles fishing lure. Any subsequent clicks will cast Fishing. Right-clicking will re-equip your weapon. This macro is as long as it can be, so if you are going to modify it, be sure to watch your character count.
#show [nomodifier:alt] Fishing; [modifier:alt] Bright Baubles
/equip [noequipped: Fishing Pole, button:1] Seth's
/equip [button:2] Sonic
/use [modifier:alt] Bright Baubles
/use [modifier:alt] 16
/cast [nomodifier, button:1, equipped:Fishing Pole] Fishing
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mount - Clicking this will use a random flying mount. Right-clicking will use a random ground mount, and alt-clicking will use your Hearthstone. Clicking while on a flying mount will dismount. I have had some times where I click on this macro while on a ground mount, and it will try to put me on the flying mount - I haven't worked out that bug yet.
#showtooltip
/use [modifier:alt] Hearthstone
/userandom Purple Riding Nether Ray, Swift Purple Gryphon
/userandom [button:2] Swift White Steed, Reins of the Swift Stormsaber, Reins of the Cobalt War Talbuk, Great Purple Elekk;
/dismount [mounted]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mage Munchies - Similar to Regen, except with Mage Conjured food. If you are running with a mage that is handing out food and drink separately, alt-click will use only the drink. If I have no mage food, I use this as a one-click Prowl/Shadowmeld
#showtooltip
/use Conjured Manna Biscuit
/use [modifier:alt] Conjured Glacier Water
/use [nomodifier] Conjured Glacier Water
/use [nomodifier] Conjured Croissant
/cast Prowl
/cast Shadowmeld
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Food and Drink - These macro will use a potion if you are in combat or food/drink if you are not. This is a nice visual cue for whether or not you are in combat. They will use the quest reward (skettis escort) if you have them, if not, it will use a crafted/dropped potion. The food one will also use a Healthstone on alt-click, but I generally put those in their own hotbar slot anyway.
#showtooltip
/use [combat] Unstable Mana Potion;
/use [combat] Super Mana Potion;
/use [nocombat] Purified Draenic Water;
/cast Prowl
/cast [nocombat] Shadowmeld;
#showtooltip
/use [combat, nomodifier] Volatile Healing Potion;
/use [combat, nomodifier] Super Healing Potion;
/use [nocombat, nomodifier] Telaari Grapes
/use [combat, modifier:alt] Master Healthstone;

/cast [nocombat] Shadowmeld

I use the (?) icon almost all the time, along with the #showtooltip command, you can see what your macros will be doing under any given circumstances.
