I'm sure something like this may have been posted before, but I managed to piece this together last night and it works really well so I thought I'd share. This is great for people with regular high powered vks and looted DoT weapons(vks being best of course
) or for people who just like to use VKs for one single attack then switch back to being unarmed.
I use this with a really neat Janga stone knife I have that has a great mind poison on it. But here is a general macro for you:
For this example, we have 3 macros and 2 weapons.
- MacroAis placed in slot 11(the top righthand slot) of your main toolbar
- Unarmed hit 3(U) is in slot 10 of your main toolbar
- Macro B is placed in slot 11 of the next toolbar pane(the next set of two rows)
- Macro C is placed in slot 10 of the second toolbar pane
- Weapon 1 is in slot 8 of the second pane
- Weapon 2 is in slot 9 of the second pane
So it looks like this:
xxxx xxxx xxUA
xxxx xxxx xxxx
xxxx xxxx 12CB
xxxx xxxx xxxx
Now, here are the macros:
Macro A
----
/ui action toolbarPane02;
Macro B
----
/ui action toolbarSlot10;
Macro C
----
/ui action toolbarSlot08;
/<attack of your choice, or /pause for a few seconds if just trying to get the dot to stick with default attack>;
/ui action toolbarSlot09;
/ui action toolbarPane01;
So, here is what happens 
1) I hit macro A on my toolbar while in combat with something.
2) It automatically switches over to the second toolbar pane, triggering Macro B
3) Macro B then triggers macro C
4) Macro C switches to my DoT weapon
5) Macro C executes the attack I specified for the DoT weapon
6) Macro C switches my weapon back to my usual vks
7) Macro C then switches me back to my original toolbar pane *and* executes an unarmed hit 3
So, using this setup, I hit one toolbar button and it automatically switches my weapon, does an attack, switches my weapon back, then executes an unarmed hit 3 for me.
Now, you could do this all in one pane with one macro, and putting your weapons in other slots in your main toolbar pane. But, by using this setup I only take up one slot in my main toolbar pane which gives me more room to put the rest of my attacks and other often used commands. It just saves space and a lot of hassle 
Hope someone finds this helpful.
