Okay, I'm a dork who can't figure out macros. I'm trying to get my priest to throw PWS on each character in the party in turn with a button press. I tried

castsequence reset=20 [target=talorab] Power Word: Shield, [target=taloraa] Power Word: Shield, [target=dagbit] Power Word: Shield

Didn't work. . help?

Im a beginner, but try:

/castsequence reset=20 [target=talorab] Power Word: Shield; [target=taloraa] Power Word: Shield; [target=dagbit] Power Word: Shield

I just changed the commas to semi-colons

As far as I know, you can't change targets in a castsequence, only option that would work that I know of would be to use modifiers (ctrl, alt, shift) to determine the target.

Why you would want to cast PWS on all your characters in sequence is beyond me, but this should work:

/castsequence [target=char1] Power Word: Shield,,,,
/castsequence [target=char2] ,Power Word: Shield,,,
/castsequence [target=char3] ,,Power Word: Shield,,
/castsequence [target=char4] ,,,Power Word: Shield,
/castsequence [target=char5] ,,,,Power Word: Shield

This will cast it on each character sequentially ASSUMING you only press the button every cooldown. If you are putting it on a key you're going to be spamming, you'll have to adjust the commas based on how often you are hitting the button between cool downs.

I would go for Gaffy's idea:

/cast [target=talorab, nomod] [target=taloraa, mod:shift] [target=dagbit, mod:ctrl] [] Power Word: Shield

This will cast Shield on talorab when you press the button , if you hold Shift while pressing the button you will cast Shield on taloraa, if you however hold CTRL while pressing the button, you will cast Shield on dagbit. I added a [] in case you want to cast it on your target.

Thanks folks. I'll probably just use the modifiers to make life easy.
