and from that point and forward cast it for imps.. but it wont let me get the terrorguard up.. any ideas how to change it, so it works ?

They are probably both on the global cool down.

As far as I'm aware, both abilities are on the GCD. As such, your macro will cast Imp Swarm and then try to recast Imp Swarm at a second push, finding it to be on cooldown. If you want a macro for more than one GCD restricted ability, two possible options are a sequence or a modifier. As in:

#showtooltip Imp Swarm
/castsequence reset=2 Imp Swarm, Summon Terrorguard

That'll allow you to cast both, but require that you push the button twice. And the sequence will reset after completing it or two seconds after you stop pushing the button.

Alternately:

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:alt] Summon Terrorguard
/cast Imp Swarm

This will cast Imp Swarm, unless you hold down Alt, in which case it'll cast Summon Terrorguard.

In either case, you'll have to push the button twice. Modifier macros do tend to be a bit more flexible and less dodgy than sequence macros, though.
