Advice... practice on a friend... then work out yourself what you want in your toolbar not only will you work out what you need to use etc but youll be able to customise your toolbar to yourself and work out exactly what macros YOU think you need to use and be able to write them yourself.
Big opinion of mine half the fun in this game is working out things for yourself.
I'm not that temp, but here's what I guess (in no particular order)
Your stim, your recoveries, your enhancers (for fire and such), your non-enhanced abilities (E-Drain), KD Recover, your gun.

It is too complex of a template to answer that question in a quick response. A lot of it is personal choice. I, for one, have four different action bars set up for different situations. One for hunting NPC marks. One for hunting player marks. One for wilderness hunting in a group. One for wilderness hunting solo.
While my setups may seem natural for me, they may not seem natural for you.
For instance, KD recovery. A friend of mine has it in F1 because that is natural to him. I have it in CTRL+F1 because it isn't much of a concern to me to have to hit the CTRL button.
With this template, it really does come down to a LOT of personal preference. If you plan on PvP vs. jedi, then you want your hotkeys to be second nature to you. There is a lot of strike and counterstrike and you need to be quick with your fingers. It's like typing, you have to be able to know your keys by heart. I recommend taking on some elite and boss NPC bounties and start from there.

My toolbar layout is along these lines (from memory, am at work atm.
f1-f5 are my primary damage dealers adv crit, underhand, torso, bodyshot, charge shot
f6-f7 poison and fire enhancers
f8-f12 are my CM specific edrain, thyroid, trauma, shock , para etc
2nd row
f1-f4 KD recovery, bacta shot, spray, toss
f5 Heal enhancer
f6 can't remember
f7 Duelist
f8 deut pyro drink
f9-f12 weapons HLR, scatter, fwg5, elite carb
Probably not the best layout imaginable, but it works for me.
I've never used macro's but thats only cos i don't think macro's can work in a fight, there are too many things that can alter the swing of a fight one way or another and macro's can harm that.
Many times i've tried to heal but been knocked down at that precise moment, then i quickly write /dump then hit the KD recovery, i spose i could write a one button macro to do that but i cba tbh and macro writing aint my strong point (hint hint)
