Burst key

Burst key — from the top parses above Macro commands → 
#showtooltip Arcane Surge
/use 13
/use 14
/cast Touch of the Magi
/cast Arcane Surge

A macro can fire only one global-cooldown ability per press — that is the game's limit, not ours. So a burst key is exactly: on-use trinkets + the off-GCD cooldowns top players press in their opener + one opener spell. Nothing else fits.

Bloodlust / Time Warp is called by the raid leader, so it is deliberately left out.

Off-GCD cooldowns pressed within the first 8 casts by at least 2 of the 3 sampled players, defensives and movement removed. Ends with the first on-GCD opener so everything fires in one press.

Slot 13 / 14: the data cannot tell which slot the on-use trinket sits in, so both are listed; the passive one just prints cannot use.
