So yes, you are just keybinding things you don't need. If a certain fight needs a certain mechanic like hamstring/spell reflect just put it in for that fight.
That's assuming PVE. PvP, it depends.
Now lets assume you don't play just in raids(I can see picking ONE shout and replacing as needed for raid comp) and I can see a need to have basically every thing listed bound and actually I am sort of dumbstruck at a lack of a few. Heroic strike only bound as arms? Berserker rage or an enraged regen macro? Should always be separate... No stances Key bound.

Not binding abilities and using them regularly makes you sloppy, you will lack proper muscle memory when it comes time to do it, and it diminishes your ability to make good use of your powerful situational utility.
Keeping abilities on the same key binds between specs and similar abilities between characters(shield wall like abilities etc.) is a good habit to be in it plays well with muscle memory.
