Meditate Macro?

I play Shaman. Canni dancing would be horribly uncomfortable if I had to time a spellbook button AND a pixel perfect mouse click along with sitting down within a tiny window of time.

From what I read auto-medding came out 4 months into Kunark but there was a /meditate command we could macro. I'm sure the devs already have a lot on their hands and the Titanium client isn't exactly flexible but I consider this to be a priority.

I hit 24 on my Shammy. This is the first Shaman I've played, so take anything I say with a grain of salt. But so far canni dancing hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be. I have hotkey 2 set up to cast Canni and then hotkey 3 set up to sit and open the book. I have my spellbook parked in a specific place. It takes a second to reorient myself if it's been a couple of minutes since I did it, but once you get into the groove it's not a big deal.

The only thing I'd say that really bothers me about it is it makes it harder to pay attention to what's going on around me, including my group's health. Not impossible, but requires more mental bandwidth than I'm used to giving to my normally chill shammy.

EDIT: I'd say that the thing that makes it harder to tell what's going on is that, not only do you have to hit canni (which fizzles way more often than I expected it would), open book, manually click meditate button, but then you have to watch for the tick, which seems to be weirdly inconsistent, at least on this server (I never played Blue, I did play Live but it was never something I paid attention to before.) Like you'll see your health jump up, back down. Sometimes I see my mana tick up twice with about half a second to a second between. So I THINK I'm doing ok but it's hard to tell, and requires way more focus than I wish it did.
