Focus is private to you. No one on the server can see who you have focused. The only thing you can do is have your alts use /cast [target=focus-target] DPSSpell when your main has the mob you want dead targetted. If your main isn't targeting the mob, what is it targetting? And if your main is focusing the mob it is attacking, why change focus like every 5 secs? My main has no focus and my alts focus my main. For healing I use mob aggro to heal:
/cast [target=focus-target-target] HealSpell
You can add in a heal anyone before that for emergencies:
/cast [target=focus-target, help] HealSpell

Hope that helps and good luck.

my attack macros on the follower all start with:

/assist focus

Assuming you use a method other then focus for assists...

You can create a macro per toon (master and slave), which sets the focus.

Could be:
(On Master)
/focus

(On Slaves)
/assist [target=party1target]
/focus
/cleartarget

This is assumes party1 is both the party leader and your current active/master toon.
You will tab or click through the opponents/targets, targeting more then one of them.
That way, they cannot be sure which one you have focused.
The slaves might require the master to have targeted something for a second or so, but will not appear to ever acquire a target themselves.

For your dps macro...
If you go with:
/cast [target=focus] or /castsequence [target=focus]
The slaves/master will be casting at the focus, without ever needing to target them.

The three main assist methods seem to be:
- Focus your active toon, and assist your focus.
- Active toon is promoted to party leader via /script PromoteToLeader("NewLeaderName")
- Some variation of an FTL (Focus free, Target free, Leader free) system using Keyclone Hotstrings. Not sure if HKN or Innerspace can do an FTL system.

With Focus use...
/assist [target=Focus]
/cast Whatever
-or-
/cast [target=FocusTarget]
/cast Whatever

With a Leader system use...
/assist [target=Party1]
/cast Whatever
-or-
/cast [target=party1target]
/cast whatever

Not really sure the syntax on the FTL's
