Would this be cheating?

Why is it so trendy to be upset about weakauras that’ve existed for several expansions

Because people can become aware of the issues they cause.

Getting basic information isn’t cheating.

There’s no difference than a player popping combustion triggering your ui by HONK HONK COMBUSTION air raid sirens so that you will react and a program kicking for you.
You’re supplementing awareness the kickbot is supplementing interrupts. It gives you more info than the base UI it is cheating

I use/make WeakAuras like this for every class. How is it cheating? You’re pulling information the game gives you and making it easily viewable. You can get the same information from the combat log, WeakAuras just simplifies that information. Everyone has access to the addon, and there are no Terms of Service being broken.
That video is just Ven finding out WeakAuras exist. He gets all excited too, like it’s new technology. That’s adorable. 
Edit: change your clickbait title bro. There’s no scripting in that video. It’s a WeakAura.
Okay. You think you can perform at the same level without all your honk honks?

Venruki accused the OP of using a bot, so now the OP is upset at Venruki.
Although, Venruki was wrong for accusing the OP of being a bot.
Players clearly can perform at the same level without them. All this looks like is a massive UI failure. Some specs deliver more information, why not all of them?
Example, maelstrom on my enhance. Why does the base UI only track to 5 stacks when 10 is the norm now? After watching this, it just says to me they need to add better ways to track buffs. To that, why is the game becoming so complicated that players need these items in the first place? It hasn’t made the game more fun and for lots of players, it hasn’t made the game more difficult. What it has done is made the barrier of entry into PvP higher and less people are likely playing because of it.
Meanwhile they have dumbed down some specs so much that bots can play them to 2400+. Design issue imo.
There’s a very literal difference between:
“You should do this”
and
“This is being done for you”
The WA gives information but doesn’t actually do anything, the person at the keyboard still has to respond with pressing buttons.
A bot literally bypasses the person and presses the buttons for them.
Every competitive sport has gathered more and more information to help players improve during games. They watch film that is actively recorded to look for tendencies and figure things out.
But that doesn’t mean you or I can go perform like Patrick Mahomes or Ronald Acuna Jr or Steph Curry.
Why not? I mean, they’re getting more information than the base game provides. So why can’t we go do what they do?

Sheesh trying to convolute a script/bot with a WA is a stretch even for the “add-on hater/ I love the outdated blizzard UI” screamers 
I think they are
Not seeing anything that crazy here.
- He did bottom dam on Outlaw
- Downloaded a WA pack
- It tells him when slice and flurry are down and lets him know if he got a good bones roll
- He still does bottom dam with the new WA pack
What am I missing?

He used a lengthy script on his Rogue so it won’t trigger attacks unless a condition exists
The WA was most of the video but he also showed the actual script so he does all his rotation in one button with conditions
