They don't let you queue spells quite as well (lag can become a big factor) and don't allow you enough situational awareness or flexibility to change. Trying to time them is nearly impossible.

You should keybind your spells in a comfortable layout and get used to hitting them individually.
I agree that you should not macro a rotation for raids as it does not allow for situational events (movement, haste spell, haste totem, etc.). But I do macro my DE (and trinkets when I had those type) into incinerate. It does make the game a little more manageable for me to forget about some of those spells and saving them for a possibly more optimal time is kind of a waste.

And to the OP, your spell selection you are putting in your cast sequence is whack. If you have emberstorm, you should only be using Curse of Agony, Corruption (occasionally), Immolation, and spam Incinerate. Only Life Tap when OOM (or repositioning and close to OOM). Trizone mentions this.
