At the moment Im trying to set up a Macro for going from Defensive Stance to Battle Stance, use Charge, change back to Defensive stance, and then finish with Bloodrage.
And if possible would there be one available for an Intercept version for In-combat

I think the most you can acheive is one global cooldown per macro. I do believe one can be made to switch stances after the ability is used, but requires another button press.
The appropriate UI & Macro forum is a better place to go, but I have some excellent resources which should lead you to the right place.
Of course, don't be afraid to tweak a similar macro to make it work. It's not too complicated, =) I myself haven't actually been playing lately & a few things have changed since.
Here's the link:

Also, why in the world would you want Charge & Bloodrage in one key? It would be more efficient to put Bloodrage & Berserker Rage into one key, which changes depending on the stance used. In addition, the same can be done for Charge/Intercept/Intervene (All-in-one). These are special stance-only abilities which shouldn't create a discrepancy in special situations.

If you mean to have these as two separate macros, the following will work:
Defensive -> Battle -> Charge -> Defensive -> Bloodrage
/cast Battle Stance
/cast Charge
/cast Defensive Stance
/cast Bloodrage
As far as the second macro goes, I'm not sure how you could pull it off with the current macro system.

Barrow, you can condense your macro.
#showtooltip
/cast Battle Stance; Charge; Defensive Stance; Bloodrage
D'oh! Yeah, sorry, jumping between this and doing scripting in another language at the moment, forgot about that.
As far as the intercept macro goes, I think he's requesting a macro to swap to berserker stance, intercept, defensive stance, then bloodrage, or perhaps bloodrage before the intercept.
In either case, I can't think of a way to abuse conditionals enough to get a logical progression of events going, unless there are some tricks to /castsequence that I don't know about.

Here's the one I use.
/cast Battle Stance; Charge; Defensive Stance; Bloodrage; Berserker Stance
To break it down:
If you are not in combat and not in battle stance, it switches to battle stance.
If you are not in combat and in battle stance, it casts charge.
If you are in combat, have a shield equipped, and are not in Defensive stance, it puts you in defensive
If you are in combat, have a shield equipped, and are in Defensive stance, it casts Bloodrage
If you are in combat, do NOT have a shield equipped, it puts you in Berzerker stance.
Those last three lines are so I can use the same macro whether I am tanking or grinding. If I have a shield it puts in my defensive, but if I have two weapons or a two-hander equipped it goes to berzerker.
Just spam the key that you have it bound to.

I still prefer a more hands-on approach, providing versatility.

If you use Blood Rage and then Charge, I hope you are planning on staying in Battle stance, otherwise you'd just lose all that extra rage. Hence the macro.

/cast Battle Stance; Charge; Defensive Stance; Bloodrage; Berserker Stance
Nice macro, but you forgot "noequipped: shield" in the last cast section.

I'm inclined to agree. I also prefer manual control over all commands, regardless of class (I even have every pet ability of my warlock hot-keyed and not on auto-cast). However, macros can save space and ease learning curves (not to say anyone here is still facing a learning curve, just a general statement), so I can understand the request.

Why would you want a macro that goes from Defensive Stance to Battle Stance then Charge?
I don't think it's possible to do all that in one key press. I believe you still have to press it multiple times.
I think the most you can do in a macro
1. is change stance once
2. using one ability/spell
3. and equip something (most likely a shield or weapon) or use a trinket.
This is possible because Changing stance is on a separate CD from the GCD.
Plus, quit trying to automate everything. LOL.

Not entirely true... clever use of conditionals, especially for warriors, allows for many more actions in a single macro.
However, you are correct that he needs to hit the button multiple times to have the whole chain of events occur.
