Misdirection Macro help.

Hi guys. I have two separate very simple macro for tank (whenever I am raiding or in a dungeon) and pet
(whenever I am solo questing/dailies).
Tank:
/cast Misdirection - (I just simply put my main tank on focus)
Pet:
/tar pet1
/tar pet2
/tar pet3 and so on... (I just list all my pet names in my pet macro)
Question:
I know there is a macro that will make me cast Misdirection without losing my TOT of tank and/or pet.
It's my problem that I have to click the tank/pet's target again whenever I refresh Misdirection.
Thank you! :)

Here's the one I came up with which includes a few more features:
#showtooltip
/cast Misdirection
While not in a group, while I have a pet active, and while not pressing a modifier, cast on
pet
.
While in a group, or while overriding the previous default by a modifier...
Cast on a friendly, living
mouseover
.
Cast on a friendly, living
target
.
This might sound counterintuitive, but if I'm targeting someone friendly, I would personally want that to override my focus.
The focus is for when I'm targeting whatever I'm trying to kill.
Cast on a friendly, living
focus
.
Fallback behavior is
@none
which produces the glowy hand cursor.

I have two MD macros on my bar. One for pet, one for tank.
The pet macro rarely changes and the tank I just enter the first few letters as I enter the dungeon. No need to worry about focus or losing focus, like you do in Hour of Twilight after you get knocked off drakes.
/tar tankname
/cast misdirection
/targetlasttarget
Has never failed. Simple. Reliable.

What mob gave you the targeting error, would like to see what happened as I've never lost a target to this macro.
Never considered the autoshot reset, guess in a hardcore run that would actually matter, but I don't see that as much of a concern in heroics or LFR.

I dunno. Hitting my focus keybind is pretty easy

You can cghange that so you don't switch targets by doing a
/use misdirection
You could even double it up with both tank names if you go in raids (be that lfr or not)
/use misdirection

#showtooltip Misdirection
/cast Misdirection
/e casts misdirect on %F
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
That is what I've been using for quite a while now. "/e casts misdirect on %F" will put an emote into the chat box, not necessary but something extra that I like.

^I am wondering why you want the last line in your MD macro - since its not added to every shot, wouldn't you actually want to see an error if one is there, so you don't think you are Md'ing (causing no threat during) while you aren't in actuality?

I dont even use focus keybind, i just go with:
#showtooltip
/focus
/stopmacro
/cast Misdirection
Which means any macro you want to specifically deal with the focus must include these extra lines or it won't change your focus. I factored it out of all of my macros and added a keybind.
12x^2 + 4x = 2x * (6x + 2)
You know?

Didn't do a very good job, you could have done 4x * (3x+1) :P

There's always room to improve your macros!
Totally did that on purpose *cough*.
