Is it possible to have a macro cast Ambush if possible and SS otherwise?
No.
This would require a conditional argument (If - Then - Else). Blizzard does not allow this.
Not entirely true.
Check out Gnome Sequencer (GSE). It allows you to make old school and super complex cast sequences.
Uhhh if an addon allows you to do that it sounds like it’s liable to get you banned. Macros where you can make the game completely play itself are kinda where they draw the line.
#showtooltip
/cast [stance] Ambush; Sinister Strike
This is the closest you can get. It will not work for Audacity or Blindside procs, unfortunately.

It isn’t bannable or it wouldn’t be on cursed and actively used for years on end without recourse. The macro does not press any buttons for you and therefore not against the TOS. Blizzard messed up when they removed cast sequences. So much so they haven’t stopped any adding that replicate the cast sequence function. The issue is things like auto hotkey that do allow actual automation. Many will make the disability argument here and I am not one to judge any individuals given plight or their perspective on it.
That’s not necessarily true. Maybe it has just flown under the radar. If it allows you to do something Blizzard has expressly stated is against the ToS by using a clever work-around then it’s toeing the line at best, bannable at worst.
Can that addon change a button based on your buffs?
For example, if the button casts Mutilate but Blindside procs, can it change the button to cast Ambush based purely on the Blindside proc?
Also, want to mention, /castsequence does work. I believe when they removed it a while back it was a mistake in that they didn’t mean to remove it.
If you low on hotkeys, do something like:
/cast [nocombat] stealth; ambush
use your stealth key for audacity while in combat.
It does now! whether you put “stealth”, “form”, or “stance”, all three work.

Now you don’t even need a macro. It changes automatically. At least for Blindside.

yeah, it changes automatically for blindside and audacity, but not for stealth. the macro that previously didn’t work for those now works for all three situations (because of the built-in automatic change)
