a) macros can't do that any more
b) that sounds like a dreadful macro!

/sigh
the macro you're asking for is:
/cast chaos bolt
/cast soul fire
a few patches ago (maybe back as far as tBC) this would have worked fine. if chaos bolt was available to cast it would cast, if not it would cast soul fire. now what happens is the game tries to cast CB and if it's on CD then the macro ends.
castsequence macros run through a sequence of casts (weird right?) so immo > inc > inc > inc > inc is retarded but fine, it works. however CB > SF will cast CB then cast SF then will go back to the start and try to cast CB again. this will be on CD and so it will end there.
macros like the type you're asking for were becoming a problem because a well written macro was doing everything for you. a PvE destro macro could go:
/cast conflagrate
/cast chaos bolt
/cast incinerate
now all you'd have to do is make sure immo gets cast and spam that macro.
the macro is making decisions for the player, even if that decision is just "this spell is off cooldown, shall i cast it?" that's still a decision the player has to make.
there's the facts.
on a side note, only a fool or an idiot would use any of the macros discussed in this thread.

I got it to work after an hour (lol) :)
#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=12 Chaos Bolt,Soul Fire; Soul Fire,Chaos Bolt
imba macro :)
Am I missing something or does it only alternate between Chaos Bolt and Soulfire? You could just as well use
/use Chaos Bolt
/use Soul Fire

My guess would be he uses Soulfires during Backdraft rather than Incinerate, hence asking for a macro that casts Chaos Bolt when it is on cooldown.

if you use macros as a lock for casting in pvp then you are a retard.

Now now, no need to be insulting. If its a terrible practice he will learn the hard way.
However, unless you need this macro to reduce space (which probably isn't the case), it does come off as excessively lazy. From my standpoint, if you can't notice when a spell is off CD, then I can't imagine the issues you will be having the hairtrigger situationial responses that are needed to progress in PvP.
@ OP
So are there any additional reasons for needing this macro other than having one less CD to pay attention to?
Edit: for actual contribution
