Party Macros
As a Monk, you have a decent amount of utility, so you need to have an efficient way of interacting with your teammates. You could either use player names, which require you to change the name every time you get a different teammate, or by using party macros, which are easier to maintain. In this case, party1 is always at the top of your group, party2 is the second member right below, regardless of your own position on your frames. It is great for arena in general, and even better for Solo Shuffle.
You should have these macros for some of the most important utility like Detox in order to quickly dispel important debuffs without additional button presses. You could also do the same with Tiger’s Lust or Vivify for offhealing.

These macros follow the same idea as party macros and eliminate the need to manually change targets every time. They are very useful for CC and interrupts. While focus macros are easier to get used to and could be sufficient in most cases, arena macros are a lot more versatile as they allow you to interact with literally any opponent in the game at any point. The downside of making arena macros is the number of binds you will have to allocate. Not to mention, they are a lot more difficult to get used to. You could start by using focus macros for most of your abilities and arena macros for some of the most important CC, and expand the more you get used to it. As a Monk, the spells that benefit the most from such macros are Paralysis and Spear Hand Strike.

Adding Trinkets to Macros
If you are using Forged Gladiator’s Badge of Ferocity, it lines up perfectly with a number of your offensive cooldowns. It is also off GCD, making it a perfect addition to a few offensive macros. Specifically for Windwalker Monk, you want to combine your Badge with Strike of the Windlord, as this makes our burst sequence feel smoother and eliminates the need to press an extra button.
Keep in mind that you always want your badge to be inserted in the macro first before the ability you want to burst with. This makes sure that the ability in the macro will always be affected by the primary stat buff.

@Cursor and @Player Macros
There are a few abilities that require you to manually select the location you want to case them at. In case of Ring of Peace, you may want to eliminate this extra step to make your utility feel much smoother. If you add “@cursor” condition, the ability will automatically be cast at your cursor’s location, whereas “@player” will cast it at your character’s location. Generally, it is advised not to do this as you can better control the positioning of the ability.

Cancelaura
When playing with a Paladin and against Mages, you definitely want to get your hands on cancelaura macros, since they will try to steal some very useful utility. This is especially valuable for Blessing of Protection and Blessing of Freedom. Instead of creating a separate bind for it, you could add it to an already existing bind, for example – your mount.
