Yeah, you can just call something like
frame:Execute('NumShapeshiftForms = ' .. GetNumShapeshiftForms()) on PLAYER_LOGIN or whenever you think it might change, as long as you're out of combat. You could even call it upon entering combat if you wanted to.
The value would probably only ever change for a leveling druid who just picked up a new form, or maybe switching specs, where you'd gain and lose moonkin form.
From what I can tell the stance bar only monitors the "UPDATE_SHAPESHIFT_COOLDOWN" event to handle hiding and showing the proper buttons, however UPDATE_SHAPESHIFT_FORMS might be a better event to watch.
Look, you can't have an action bar addon that works
most of the time. It has to work all of the time, and if the api functions have the potential to ever return the incorrect values due to the order of events being undefined, you simply can't use them. You
have to hardcode the bar offsets and pass them based on which macro condition fired.
