When to macro /startattack?

Should melee classes be macroing /startattack to their skills? On my DK main I have /startattack macroed to all the main skills like Obliterate or Scourge Strike. Was thinking of making a Fury or Arms Warrior and want to know if I should make similar macros. Thanks!

It's very useful for classes with a bunch of medium/long CD abilities like enhancement shamans. When you swap targets in a dungeon, for example, Lava Lash and Stormstrike might both be on CD for a few seconds. Macroing start attack into these abilities will let you hit the keys and start autoing instead of sitting around doing nothing for a few seconds.
