Suggestions for cleaner macros and using less chars (these macros are simple, but when you are in a more complex macro, knowing these alternatives are a godsend):

nomodifier=nomod
modifier=mod
target=@something (target=player becomes @player. target=focus becomes @focus, etc)

The CS/DS macro can be stripped down to this macro in which DS works with any modifier (not only control):

/cast [nomod] Crusader Strike; Divine Storm

The cleanse and Rebuke macros can also be stipped down to:

/cast [@mouseover][] Cleanse

/cast [@focus, exists][] Rebuke

Using the [], it tells the macro that if @mouseover is not available, it will cast it as default (i.e the player or the current selected target). For instance, being a lock, i have this macro for fear:

/cast [@mouseover,harm,exists][@focus,harm,exists][] Fear

This casts fear to the mouseover, if there is no enemy mouesover to the focus, and if there is no enemy focus, the targeted player.

And by [] you mean LEFT SQUARE BRACKET then RIGHT SQUARE BRACKET. Sorry, but on my screen it looks like a box, which is what some fonts do if there is some weird double-byte character it can't handle...
