/petaggressiveDispersion Macro
This macro will allow you to cancel Dispersion. Since you can’t attack during Dispersion, it is important to cancel this spell during moments where you have been topped off by your healer, or need to use Crowd Control at specific moments to prevent your team from falling behind. Having a modifier on this macro can help prevent your Dispersion from cancelling accidentally.
