Stop Casting Question

I've created a few macros that will stop Cobra Shot from casting when something procs such as Explosive Shot:
/stopcasting
/cast Explosive Shot
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
/stopcasting
/cast Glaive Toss
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
/stopcasting
/cast Kill Shot
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
The problem is, it is giving me the message "Another action is in progress".
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the help!

My guess is that the delay is too short between the two actions.

If you try to stop casting and cast another ability within the first 1.5 (modified by haste) seconds of lockout incurred by the GCD, you will get that message.

The global cooldown is
supposed
to be reset when you stop the casting this way. Any mage that relies on
/stopcasting
/cast Counterspell
will agree. I've never seen Counterspell fail to go off because it was pressed too soon.
I'm guessing that because Cobra Shot is a physical ability, its GCD is not being reset due to an oversight. Given how often Hunter shots have changed throughout the expansions and the latest 5.x changes to their mechanics, it could simply be a bug that was never picked up because practically no Hunters rely on /stopcasting macros (thus don't report it).
Ask on the official tech support forums maybe?

That's interesting. I noticed that on my Hunter and wondered why
/stopcasting
wouldn't stop Steady/Cobra Shot. That seems a bit odd. Thanks Maun!

Yeah, I guess that's right. Not sure what I was thinking, but my post sure did sound official! I think I convinced myself.
