macro to interrupt/stop your own cast?

Is it possible to stop/interrupt your own cast from a macro?

I have an "oh s**t!" skill, which I have to cast right away if target is doing a specific thing. But if I am in the middle of my own cast I cannot do this.

I could e.g. move before casting the skill, but ... I'm a noob and I keep forgetting.

I would really like to have a macro which would interrupt my own cast (if any) and then cast the important "oh s**t!" skill. Is it possible?

Actual story:

Spoiler

I have a 90/81 D/S alt. I thought I should be able to solo ZS. I dirty-stated for him some quest gear with matt bag stats. He has now 53k matt UB, a Song of the Miserable End +16 t11 (7400 mdmg). And ... I was not able to go through the first boss, not even once.

I've tried like 15 times... I am trying to interrupt his spider-web skill, and with this I was able to get him down to about 16%. But at the end I always get stunned. I'm not sure, but I think the reason was that I forgot to move (I know, I'm a noob

) and that's why the interrupts did not work.

I'll try again tonight, but a macro which would interrupt my cast, and therefore guarantee to cast Throat Attack or Binding Silence would help a lot...

PS: Maybe I found it: I'll try to use

	Source code
1 2 3	/script MoveForwardStart(); /wait .1 /script MoveForwardStop();

- I'll try it later and let you know if it worked.

Even better

	Source code
1 2 3	/script MoveForwardStart(); /wait .01 /script MoveForwardStop();

If you wanna see an example of when I'm a super lazy healer

	Source code
1	/run if (UnitHealth("target")/UnitMaxHealth("target"))<=.99 then MoveForwardStop();CastSpellByName("Urgent Heal"); else FollowUnit("focus1") end

Hmm, with "/wait .01" it didn't work for me. With "/wait .05" it works almost always, but not always... I'll stick to ".1"... Maybe I lag more than you do.

In this particular case: I have "Binding Silence" on actionbar 9 and the full "interrupt" macro is:

	Source code
1 2 3 4 5	/script MoveForwardStart(); /wait .1 /script MoveForwardStop(); /wait .1 /script if (GetActionUsable(9)) then CastSpellByName("Binding Silence") else CastSpellByName("Throat Attack") end

With this I did the first boss in ZS on a D/S for the first time

. The only thing was that I had to stand really close to the boss (I suppose: so that Throat Attack worked right away without walking towards the boss).
