I would like that puts my dots up on the target all at the same time.
I think there might be something you're missing, which is the notion of the GCD. Sorry if you already know about it, but my hunch is you don't. It stands for
G

d
own, and it's means you can't cast multiple spells at the same time (with exceptions). Once you cast a spell, a 1.5-second timer is created, and you won't be able to cast another spell until the timer ends, no matter how hard you mash your keys. This isn't an issue with macros per se; it's built into the fabric of WoW. So to get both dots on your target, you'll always have to perform two actions, whether it's hitting two different keys or repeatedly hitting the same macro. And those two actions will always have to be 1.5 seconds apart.
There are subtleties to it, and tricks to working around it. First though, get to know and love the GCD. It will forever be the structure within which you'll be working.

That's what reset is for:
/castsequence reset=5 Shadow Word: Pain, Devouring Pain
reset=X, will make it reset X seconds after pressing the button.

Please don't use castsequences as a shadow priest ... You'll engender bad habits into yourself by the time you hit 80 and you'll perform sub-par :(
For combat I agree completely, but I still like my buff sequence, especially in arena for 2's and 3's where I'd rather not waste 3 candles and there is a lot of buffs I have to get in during preparation.
/castsequence reset=5/target Power Word: Fortitude, Divine Spirit, Shadow Protection Though I do keep Shadow Protection on my bar next to the macro due to the duration difference. So I guess I one button slot, but I do find it faster.
But yeah, don't try to automate a priest "rotation", no good can come of it.
