1. [nomodifier] is not needed, and "modifier" can be shortened to "mod" the following macro:

/cast [mod:ctrl] Divine Storm; Crusader Strike

is functionally identical to the first, except Crusader Strike will be used even if ALT or SHIFT are pressed (and there isn't a bind overriding the combination) and you won't get the "?" icon on buttons when you don't have an action assigned to the key + modifier.

2. "target=" is the same as "@" so you can use the following:

/cast [@=targettarget] Hand of Protection

Most Paladins won't ever have a macro that approaches the character limit, but for those that do anything that reduces the amount of text required is a good thing.

Yes, there's no need for [nomodifier].

I tend to use dual macros working like:

/cast [modifier][button:2] SeldomUsedPower; CommonlyUsed Power

If I left click a button it will use "CommonlyUsedPower". If I right click or hold alt, shift or control while clicking I get "SeldomUsedPower"

I should be a jerk and roll a toon for PvP named "Targettarget". Would totally botch the opposition's targettarget macros.
