Wouldn't FlipCameraYaw just rotate the camera, not your character?

Is there a macro to cast AB four times, check for my Missile Barrage buff, cast AM if it's there, cast AM if it's not there, tailor me a suit, teleport to UC, pickpocket Thrall, walk on water, d/e my best epic, then throw a birthday party while flipping my camera 180 degrees?
No.

Why should this be doable by keyboard-turners? Keyboard-turning isn't an advantage.

The camera API only changes where you're looking, not where you're facing. Blink works off of facing. This is no longer possible.

Before the thread degenerates away from the original topic much further, let me explain myself. How hard is it to cast Cone of Cold, mouse turn 180 degrees, then cast Blink? If you need a macro to do that, then you need to practice the basic skills involved in playing this game.

Captcha: Caviar this. Just try it.
Edit: I just realized there is a 50% chance of blinking backward built into the spell anyway.
/castsequence Cone of Cold, Blink
That will work for exactly what you want to do about 1/2 the time.

No bitter feelings. I suppose mages are better off than rogues with their broken Vanish, but it can't be argued that Blink is broken.

Actually I would argue that "broken" is the wrong word. Everyone always says that. Broken would be, it never works. The fact is, it works most of the time. It's technically difficult, apparently, in the wow engine, to measure a distance from a point to another point across the surface of a non-contiguous mesh. It's been a problem since Classic, and I'm sure that if they could be implementing it in a better way, they would. I think if they changed the implementation we might stand to lose some of the cool things we have with Blink now.
I'm content. I have learned, in the years of my experience with my mage, to simply know when I probably shouldn't bother blinking. I never log on my mage and say, "Sheeutt, I hate playing this character because Blink is so broken."
