Howdy,
Posted something similar under the 'software tools' forum - which was probably the wrong place to do it. You can completely eliminate the need to do any cast assist macros and retain the ability to have your slaves _not_ have a target selected (useful for BG/Arenas when you don't want the enemy knowing who's getting nuked).

On each toon do /bt3 config
Go to the bar(s) that you want to enable assist casting on - expand it and click on "Button Paging". Selected "Advanced" in the drop down and click "Edit States". Click Add New. Click in the Condition field and put in "target=focustarget, exists" (without the quotes). For unit, put in "focustarget". That's it. If the toon has a focus and that focus has a target, then any spell/action put on the bars with the above configuration will be directed at the focus target. This overrides all actions - attack, shoot, whatever. If a focustarget doesn't exist it falls back to regular bar functionality (target / autoself, etc).
You'll want to make sure you don't have a focus set up on your 'main' if you enable this for that toon. (/clearfocus)
There is a lot of potential with the conditional targetting stuff as it accepts all conditionals that macros do (harm, help, dead, combat, etc) and can dynamically change bars based on these states - I really haven't put much thought in the possiblities, but they certainly exist.

Note, my original post included changing actionbars depending on slave/master - found out that this isn't even necessary using the above so it saves configuring all of your bars twice and frees them up as well.
