Someone posted a feign death macro that removes your armor prior to feigning death. This is for PvP purposes so that they can't just blast the hell out of your armor. The macro works just fine. The problem that I am having is when I hit the macro, the armor comes off and I prepare to feign death. Then since I am not wearing armor, the next hit ALWAYS incapacitates me and I get killed. Is there anyway around this or is that just the way it is?

Once FD is activated you have to take one more shot inorder for it to work and w/o armor and you using it b/c you are about to go incap results in the incap you were trying to avoid. Happend to me all the time in the corvette. I guess the answer is do FD earlier so you have enough HAM to take the hit. But how early thats the question. Maybe they will fix it so that can't just keep nailing you while you lay on the ground.

Are you sure the FD is working. I have been incaped countless times taking a hit to FD but never DBed by a player or MOB. The timer counts down as I am incaped and then it ends leaving me to slowly regen my HAMs as I lay there FDed.

Armor "macro'ing" is easy. Just place all your armor / clothing on say, toolbarSlot01 through toolbarSlot11 (or how ever many items you need).
In toolbarSlot00, you have a macro that calls:
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
(on up through)
/ui action toolbarSlot11;
(This is a cut'n'dirty way to do it, but it works reliably almost every time)...
When you hit "F1", the macro just simply spams all your function slots to swap out your armor. With further scripting in the macro, you can do other thing to (including referencing the toolbars off of another toolbarPane so you don't have to take up so much room on the toolbar itself).
HOWEVER!!!! there's a lil bug to where if you have a high latency, it might not work smoothely - it might say "too many commands, command dropped" or something like that...

Yea, I'm aware of this macro as well, but I was under the impression that you needed to clear the combat queue, then pause for a sec, then FD. Am I mistaken?

you are correct. The macro I have is:
/stand
/clear combatqueue
/ui action toolbarSlot01 <------------continue as needed to remove armor
/feignDeath
this may not be exact cause I dont have it written down but it is very similar to this
