Looking for a SI/Healthstone/Potion Macro

Hello!
I raid as Feral DPS with my Druid, and I have the talent Survival Instincts. I'm also an Alchemist, so I have access to Crazy Alchemist's Potions.
I'm trying to make a macro that will let me use SI when it's off cooldown, otherwise a Healthstone, and a Crazy Alchemist's Potions if the other two are unavailable.
Before you say anything, I know that macros can't tell when skills are off cooldown, but I wondered if I could get around that by using "/castsequence reset=240" as that would reset the macro after 240 seconds, when SI is off cooldown.
I tried
#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=240 Survival Instincts, Fel Healthstone, Crazy Alchemist's Potion
Then remembered that Healthstones and Potions are items and require the "/use" command.
I'm sorry if this seems a little noobish, I did read the stickies and I don't think I'm trying to do anything impossible. Can anyone help me out?

"/use" and "/cast" are interchangeable.
If there was a "/usesequence" it would have been interchangeable with "/castsequence".
The macro you posted will work as well as every other castsequence does, it may not suit your needs exactly but it's pretty much close to the best you can do.
The one Kuilton posted will only ever cast Survival Instincts, and not very well.

buffet or autobar XD
Buffet is a macro swaping addon. That is to say, when you use the macro it creates, it will use the item and then change the macro to the next item (like IHML if you've used that). Autobar is a completely addon based implementation, but you can make a macro to click the button. Both of them will give you better results than your macro.
note: Yes I know you were looking for a macro, but I'm just giving you some other options XD

Munchies seems to look pretty good too. I'm actually working on something similar, but quite different overall...

Thanks for the help guys, I tried it out again and it worked fine, only problem is now I have to stop mashing the button when I panic or I'll gobble up my HS and pot as well as my SI! :)
Wanderingfox, I've heard good things about IHML so I might download it anyway, since I use quite a lot of macros.

I honestly do not know how I played this game without IHML... It is very much worth at least a look XD
