Back in 2.4 (?) Blizz decided that it's not cool for hybrids to use such macros since a weapon can make a huge difference. Since then swapping weapons in combat activates the gcd.
It's still possible, but I suggest against it in most cases.

Especially in PvP. Do you really want to add an extra 2 seconds to that heal? A heal, as feral, you're likely casting in desperation?

Only way it would be pratical would be if you're casting a HOT pre-emptively before death is immediate. The GCD makes it otherwise impractical.

I've actually always been an avid weapon swapper, but I don't believe macros are the way they should be implemented. It's too limiting.
The best you can go (short of actually having an addon decide when to swap your weapons, which will inevitably be wrong sometimes anyway) is pressing a button but instead of equipping immediately it queues the equip to the next instant cast in a manner similar to that of CWS.
