[BUG]

🔵 Describe the bug:
As a Shadow Priest, I find mid fight often my mind flay cast in my sequence just stops casting. This happens when it gets empowered and becomes 'mind flay: insanity' for 1 cast then goes back to being 'mind flay' I think may be the issue.
I can see if I look at my macro right after a fight with the issue present ends, it has changed in my sequence to 'mind flay: insanity' and hasnt changed back to Mind Flay so it doesnt cast mind flay any more during that fight it appears. I do find that the next fight it does swap back and can be ok until a longer fight where the issue can happen again.
🔵 To reproduce: (Steps to reproduce the behavior)
- Using a sequence with /cast [nochanneling] mind flay, or variations such as '[known:mind flay] Mind Flay; [nochanneling:Void Torrent, nochanneling:Mind Flay: Insanity] Mind Flay: Insanity' or any variation of that.
- Try a dungeon or a delve, after mind flay is empowered to mind flay insanity periodically the sequence will just no longer cast mind flay at all until it becomes mind flay: insanity again for 1 cast. It won't cast regular mind flay once it starts to happen until the fight ends and you start the next fight.
🔵 The error:
No errors given.
🔵 Screenshots:
The top image is how I wrote the macro and how it appears when it is working.
The bottom image is what I noticed when I opened my sequence immediately after exiting a fight where the issue occured and noticed it was changed to mind flay: insanity.
🔵 Expected behavior:
When mind flay is present, cast mind flay. When it is empowered and becomes mind flay: insanity, cast mind flay: insanity. After empowerment ends and the spell reverts to Mind Flay, cast Mind flay.

It's a WoW bug, unfortunately, not a GSE bug. GSE asks WoW with casts as opposed to use what is the base spell and sometimes WoW forgets. See #1644 and https://github.com/TimothyLuke/GSE-Advanced-Macro-Compiler/wiki/Base-Spells-and-Translating-Sequences-and-Macro-between-languages.
