Honestly, macroing combat is a bad idea- it causes far more problems than it solves. But if you hunt down Tonie using forum search he has his duelist stance Macro posted in many messages. The macro definitely has its advantages in pve and can be useful in PvJ under certain circumstances.
You might want to have some macros set up to do utility things like eat your foods, target your mark once you get the name, or a number of other small tasks- but if you think Macroing your attacks is going to help you be an elite bounty hunter you are in for a rude awakening when you face a proficient mark.
Just my .02 creds

I don't "macro-fight" and for good reason. You will become reliant on your macro's, so when you ever have the need NOT to use them, you will not know what you are doing. There is no sequence of events that will guarantee success in every situation. They are all different.
What I did, was set my keyboard to modelss. This is same as it is in space. Where you have to hit a key to enter chat. Otherwise they kayboard is like a giant control board, in which you can map macro's to for easy access.
I created macro's to do "normal" things like putting on armor. Set that to keyboard SHIFT + numbers 1, 2, 3, and normal clothing on 4
I created 7 macros for equipping different weapons on numbers 1-7
Duelist stance macro on the D key
/dump macro on the Q key
Food macro on the F key
Healing macro's on CNTRL 1, 2, and 3 for Bacta Spray, Shot, and stims
The reason for this was because the toolbar only has so many slots on it. I filled them up with other combat related things, and needed extra keys without switching. This setup is excellent for me, because I now have 300+ other macro keys that I can map to certain functions.
I've got a ton of non-combat related macro's as well, such as pulling my ride out, mounting/dismounting, house decorating macros, etc.
There isSO MUCH that you can do with this setup, I encourage you to try it out andpost your results.
im rellay good with macros and ive tried laods of diffrent ones,but the above poster is right combat macros, arnt a good idea at all, they can cause a lot of grief for you.
the best macro i use is my kd macro that sets an alarm off after 30 secs so i know its tiem to kd them again
