[BUG]Block text does not match Compiled Text

🔵 Describe the bug:
My macro was acting strange, lots of pauses of nothing happening at times. Here's what my Block Text says:
/cast [nochanneling] Mutilate
Here's what the Compiled template says:
[11] = {
["macrotext"] = "/cast [nochanneling] Sinister Strike",
["type"] = "macro"
},
The Compiled Template changed Mutilate to Sinister Strike which the Assassination rogue does not have. Not all Mutilate are changed to Sinister Strike which is strange

This actually isn’t a bug.
WoW has a number of temporary buffs in classes where a spell or ability is replaced by another. As macros can’t tell that the temporary thing has happened you can either try to cast the base spell or the upgraded. If you cast the base spell, and the proc has occurred WoW will cast the updated. If you cast the updated and the proc hasn’t occurred WoW will do nothing.
in Legion each class was changed where there is 1 base class and every other spec is just an upgraded form of that class. Spells like Sinister Strike are upgraded when you change to the other specs.
See https://github.com/TimothyLuke/GSE-Advanced-Macro-Compiler/wiki/Base-Spells for more information and how you can verify this.
it is confusing when you first see it but you eventually get your head around it.
