WOOT! tyty and wb hope all well
I found the issue. The Talent “Blindside” is causing Mutilate to transform into Ambush rather than just making Ambush usable without stealth. When Mutilate transforms it no longer holds the same spell ID and thus the macro can’t continue until you have used 2 non-transformed Mutilates.
Working on a fix but if a fix isn’t possible then we may need to ditch blindside which will hurt alot.
TL;DR - Mutilate isn’t transforming back in the macro after becoming Ambush from the blindside talent.

Had something similar on a simple filler macro on outlaw, with sinister strike turing into ambush.
ended up using /click action button function and placed the ability on the bar instead.
just thought i could share.

the solution is to put symbol of dollar like this
$$ /cast Mutilate
or in a castsequence
$$ /castsequence Mutilate, etc…
Its han been used for a long time in survival hunter ( with the traps ), and elemental shaman ( with lava burst becoming elemental blast )
That will force to use that only ability, and in the action block will appear as white, but will work np.
Found your fix !
Cheers.

Unfortunately that does not fix the issue. I’ve also determined that GSE is not the issue as a normal macro also stalls when blindside forces mutilate to transform into ambush.
Does not work?! then its a blindside issue indeed … jeez with blizzard and its things.
Give us a ring when you have update OP without it 
Thanks !
Cheers.
Will do. I’ve put in a ticket to blizzard but I wouldn’t hold your breath. Look how long it took them to fix the celestial character portrait texture glitch on druids.

whats weird is outlaw has a very similar talent - it doesn’t hang with that
edit:
I’ve also noticed that in my fury macro - when Raging Blow turns to Crushing Blow and Bloodthirst turns to Bloodbath - it changes the macro ability names in GSE but doesn’t turn them back sometimes
That’s the exact thing that is happening to rogue with Mutilate turning into Ambush when you get a blindside proc. And it’s not just GSE though. Make a normal macro like this:
/castsequence Mutilate, Envenom
The macro will stop working as soon as you get a blindside proc.
whats the dps loss showing for you?
from unspecing blind side ? im only 450 on my rogue and it only shows a 5k loss
It just feels bad to lose the talents under blindside.
Can you share the macro still I know I would like to tinker with it maybe we can come up with a solution as community?
Yes same issue for Ret Paladins and using that fixed it too
The macro is still posted above in the original post.
Oh i thought it might have been in the posts you deleted. Wasn’t sure if it was the same as the original.
I think the issue with blindside is that the change from from mutilate into ambush isnt permanent and it transforms back and forth depending on wether you have the blindside buff or not. This seems to be messing with how macros work in the game currently.
Did you ask in Timothy Discord if there is a work around?
Doesn’t seem to be a GSE specific issue. It’s also not working as intended in the normal wow macros. But it doesn’t hurt to ask. I have an open blizzards support ticket addressing the bug aswell.
In resume, meanwhile using the very same macro without blindside talent right?
Essentially. Just add the kingsbane in there manually for now.
