Looking at those abilities both trigger the GCD, so it wont work in and of itself.
A possible solution if you would prefer not to use modifiers is a cast sequence macro. I do not recomend this though. The macro would look like this:
#show
/castsequence Hunter's Mark, Serpent Sting
Problems with castsequence macros is that they can really cause you to lose control if your not careful.
1) Pressing a castsequence macro while the GCD is triggered will cause it to move to the next spell in sequence. So basically if you press the button once, and then again while the GCD is activated, the macro will still assume you 'casted' the spell and move on to the next spell or reset to the beginning.
2) This will waste GCD's. Leaving the macro as it is above will force you to cast hunters mark each time before it will let you cast Serpent sting.
3) The macro above as written will move between the two spells with each key press, never resetting.
A slightly longer version of the macro may work for you. But still I don't recommend this for PvP unless you have the control needed not to hit it during a GCD.
#show
/castsequence reset=5 Hunter's Mark, Serpent Sting
/cast Serpent Sting
This still leaves problem #1 above, it sort of helps #2 by doing serpent sting with the shift mod. #3 is fixed with the reset modifier, this can be adjusted and is the number of seconds before the macro resets to hunters mark after you press it the first time.
Hope this helps, but someone else may have a better solution than that.

Actually overall I think your best choice would be the following macro.
#show
/cast Serpent Sting
/cast Hunter's Mark
Use shift the first time you press it to cast Hunters mark, 5 min duration should make recasting it less common that the short duration of Serpent Sting.
Shift + Press = Hunter's Mark
Press = Serpent Sting

The easiest (and therefore, for most, best) solution is to just have Serpent Sting on it, and then utilize
Charred Glyph
untill 5.2 (where the glyph goes baseline)

Conditional macros are generally not possible, the few conditionals that work ar ones that check if something is alive (target modifier), if you are in a specific stance (stance, form, aspect and seal for paladins I would guess), and whether you can do what you want to do in the location you are (like flyable), as well as checking whether you are mounted, swimming and stuff like that.
You say you are a low-level character, what level are you exactly (first glyph spots open at 15 and MfD glyph "only" requires 25)?
Oh and the castsequence will cast whichever of the 2 abilities it didn't cast lasttime, but as was noted earlier, it will advance if you hit it while you are still in the GCD, so if you hit it too fast it skips the next one.
