You could have asked this question by PM or simply in the macro thread instead of dedicating an entire thread to this topic.

You wont really swap weapons for ww or OP. I believe it resets the swingtimer and thus makes it a waste of time. The only reason you would swap weapons in combat really would be as fury if you pull aggro on Vaelstrasz (or any other boss for that matter). You will need the addon called "weapon quick swap" to use this macro:

/eq [Quel'Serrar]
/eq [Draconian Deflector]
/cast defensive stance
/cast shield wall

yea i placed it here since i thougth others might ask for the same thing

i should maybe add this
im Furry warrior using 2x deathbringers

and what i was think was that when i swap stand from besekere to arms and using overpower i only hit with a "1-handed" wep.
and since the crit chance is insanely high on overpower and since a 2 handed do close to 2x the damage as 1 hand.

I doubt its worth the effort and resetting swing timer, then again I havent tried.

It incurs a global cooldown for each swap, which makes it very hard in pve to get a clean 2h swap and overpower within a 5s window, and then swap back to DW without delaying BT/WW.

If you want to swap for a WW on a cleave fight, it's again 2 lost globals + the time you lose waiting on your swingtimer + reaction time delay.

The only time weapon swap in pve realistically comes into play is if you're using a 2h and you're swapping for long execute phase, or maybe swapping from a slow MH to a faster one.
