Disarm macro troubleFollow

I have this macro I have been trying to get to work for disarming

#showtooltip Disarm
/cast [stance:2] Disarm; [stance:1,3] Defensive Stance

the trouble I am having is when I am in zerk stance the macro does NOTHING, I have looked pretty much everywhere I can think to look and everywhere I see the same macro. I cannot figure out why it will not work for me. When in battle stance it shifts me to defensive just fine but in zerk it does nothing.

I asked my guild and much to my dismay I found I am literally the ONLY person who uses macros @_@ (hard to believe I know)

I'm sure it's just something typed wrong, but it's weird because I copy/pasted this from wowwiki (I think) and I have seen the exact same macro, typed exactly like this on other sites, why does mine not work?

Thanks in advance for any help I might receive.

EDIT: didn't get it from wowwiki I got it from arenajunkies

I think you mean this on the second modifier:

[stance:1/3]

and not

[stance:1,3]

The comma is used to combine multiple conditions (dead,noexists - etc) and the slash will give you an OR condition.

Another way to write it could be:

#showtooltip Disarm
/cast [stance:2] Disarm ; [nostance:2] Defensive Stance

Love you man, works perfectly now.

Both explanations are correct, incidentally.

I actually started out writing stance dance macros for most of the interesting abilities, but then it turns out if you want to mash the macro on your hotkey bar, then it needs to be in the same position for defensive and your default stance (what ever you normally fight in).

Later, I changed so the mouse wheel up would move me into my default stance (which it defensive, as I am a prot warrior) and spam devistate. Then shift wheel up would put me in berserker, and shift-wheel down would put me in battle stance (unmodified wheel down is thunderclap, so I get all three stances plus two abilities out of the mouse wheel). Then I didn't have to do near as many macros, just invoke the appropriate stance and hotkey as normal.

I found that just remembering where I put things on the battle stance and berserker stance bars was easier than trying to align the macros in the same spot across different bars. Although, I am a button masher and not a mouse clicker, so your milage may vary.
