Mouseover macros will cast your spell on what ever target your curser is over. This works for unit-frames and for putting your cursor over the actual character/mob.

Mouseover is really nice for healing, not such a big deal for DPS. Healers are often switching targets quickly, heal person A, then person B as soon as the first heal is finished. I raid as a resto shaman and I can tell you that using mouse-over is a great help when healing with the raid frames addon Grid or similar mods. The main reasons I like it is I feel that I can switch targets for healing more quickly, instead of having to click to target the person and then heal, I just mouseover them on Grid and cast my spell. Also I was having wrist pains after moving my mouse around and clicking constantly for 3-4 hours, 4 nights a week.

Here is the exact healing macro I use on my shaman.
[code:1]#showtooltip Chain Heal(Rank 5)
/script UIErrorsFrame:Hide()
/use Essence of the Martyr
/cast [target=mouseover, help] [help] [target=targettarget, help] [target=player] Chain Heal(Rank 5)[/code:1]
The macro does the following:

Uses a trinket, does NOT show the 'item is not ready' message

Casts a heal on whomever I am hovering my cursor over.

If no mouseover it will - Heal target of target if my target is hostile, enables you to target the boss and always heal whomever has aggro.

If no mouseover AND no unfriendly targeted - Heal friendly target.

Ok, this works EXCEPT i cant get my Clone to cast it on my mouseover target... really bothering me.

I don't think there is any way to do that. I have 5 macros on my shaman for targeting any of my 5 toons, hit the target key then the heal of choice. Usually just healing the tank and the occasional topoff, usually with chain heal. You can also set it up so you have a macro that will cast a fast heal on toon 1-5, when you hold alt it does slow heal, hold shift does HoT, uses the altmodifer: alt/shift/ctrl macro command.
