Blizzard Investigating Kick Bot Automation in Rated PvP Gameplay
wowhead.comBlizzard has responded to the use of «kick bot macros» to automate gameplay in Rated PvP content, saying they are investigating the matter and will take appropriate steps to address it as soon as possible.
In conjunction with automation programs like AutoHotKey, these macros ensure that important kicks against specific spells and stuns are never missed, interrupting the cast within its first or last millisecond to avoid manual cancelling, and automatically preventing the kick or stun if a buff like Divine Protection or Anti-Magic Shell would prevent it from succeeding.
As claimed by the poster, a significant amount of highly ranked players have used these techniques for years now, which have also been highlighted in several gameplay videos linked below.

/run if not (UnitCastingInfo(“target”) or UnitChannelInfo(“target”)) then ClearTarget() end;
/cast Spell Lock
/stopmacro
/targetlasttarget
or, perhaps, this?
/run if(AuraUtil.FindAuraByName(“Banner of the Horde”, “target”, “HELPFUL”)) then ClearTarget() end
/cast Death Coil
/stopmacro
/targetlasttarget
or this (protect HoJ in Grounding)
# showtooltip
/run for i=1,10 do local D = UnitBuff(«target»,i); if D == «Grounding Totem» then ClearTarget() end end;
/cast Hammer of Justice
/stopmacro
/targetlasttarget
Fade protection
#showtooltip
/run for i=1,10 do local D = UnitBuff(«target»,i); if D == «Phase. Read more on wowhead.com
