Some tips about warrior macros and bindings:
First some basic tips for your pvp macros and spells:
Always remember to use keybindings, you don't want yourself using the mouse too much, when you have keys in good reach of your fingers at all times.
Bind your most important spells to the closest keys: Macros like spell reflection and shield bash are important to bind to accesable keys
Unbind other functions from the easier keys.
-Bind whisper reply to Shift-R, instead of R. You don't need that fast access to your whisper reply. Now you can use the R-button to something more important, for example spell reflection.
-Rebind the zoom in and out functions. Use shift-mousewheel to zoom. This way you can bind something else to your mousewheel rolls up and down. Heroic throw and shattering throw for instance!
-If you got a mouse with a lot of buttens, use them! They are very easy accesable, and are easy to remember.
-Spells like battle shout can be bound to less accesable keys. For example Shift-T, as you only need to press the shout every 2-6 minutes, and isn't fatal if you don't manage to press the button in time.
-Undind Z and X, and use them to something more useful, for example war stomp and intimidating shout. You don't need to sit down or flashing your weapons, when in a good pvp battle.
Practice using your key bindings! When you know them good, you can hide them from your screen, making room for new buttons, addons, or just free space.

Here is a picture from my own action bars during a fury pve spec. I try to keep it simple and clean. And as you can see, I have bound the most accesable keys to the often used and most important functions.
Some useful macros:
Bladestorm start and end
First click on this macro will start bladestorm, the second will end it. It's often usefull to end bladestorm before it is over, if you need to interrupt something for instance. This macro also shows bladestorm's tooltip.
#showtooltip
Bladestorm
/cancelaura Bladestorm
/cast Bladestorm
Simple overpower
Switch to battlestance and use overpower, all in one click. This macro also shows the cooldown for overpower.
# show Overpower
/cast [stance:1] Overpower; Battle Stance
Fear and bandage
This is a great macro! First click uses intimidating shout on you current target, second click uses a bandage on yourself, third click retargets your feared target. You can also just use the last line, if you want to bandage yourself, regardless of who you're targeting at the moment.
/cast Intimidating Shout
/use [target=player] Heavy Netherweave Bandage
Spell reflection
This macro equips a one handed weapon and your shield, then changes to battle stance (or defensive stance if you prefer that), and casts spell reflection. The macro also shows spell reflection's tooltip.
#showtooltip Spell Reflection
/equip YOUR SWORD'S NAME
/equip YOUR SHIELD'S NAME
/cast [stance:1] Spell Reflection; Battle Stance
Tip: After spell reflection
After using spell reflection, you want to get back your normal weapon, so you can keep on doing damage. At the same time, you dont want too many buttons to keep track of, so check out my advice:
Combine your 2handed weapon with your mortal strike / bloodthirst. This macro first equips your 2hander if not allready equipped, then casts mortal strike (or bloodthirst if you're fury). Replace this macro with the normal mortal strike / bloodthirst button, so you always have the correct weapons equipped when casting the attack. This macro also shows Mortal strike's / Bloodthirst's tooltip.
#showtooltip Mortal Strike
/equip Edge of Ruin
/cast Mortal Strike
Charge / Intercept, when in wrong stance
As a warrior, you always need to your charge and intercept ready for fast action (the juggernaut talent in the arms tree allows you to use charge while in combat). These macros changes to the correct stance, charges/intercepts, then casts hamstring, to gain control of your target. The macros also shows the spell's tooltips.
Intercept macro:
#showtooltip Intercept
/cast [stance:3] Intercept; Berserker Stance
/stopcasting
/cast [stance:3] Hamstring
Charge macro:
#showtooltip Charge
/cast [stance:1] Charge; Battle Stance
/stopcasting
/cast [stance:1] Hamstring
Shield bash
You often need to interrupt damaging spells, heals, sheeps etc. As shield bash is usable in battle stance, this is a quick solution.
This macro equips your shield and weapon, changes to battle stance (if you're not allready) and casts shield bash. The macro also shows the shield bash tooltip.
#showtooltip Shield Bash
/equip YOUR SWORD'S NAME
/equip YOUR SHIELD'S NAME
/cast [stance:1] Shield Bash; Battle Stance
Disarm
Disarms your target if you're allready in defensive stance. If you're not, the first click changes to defensive stance and the second click casts disarm. The macro also shows the disarm tooltip.
#showtooltip Disarm
/cast [stance:2] Disarm; [stance:1/3] Defensive Stance
