Edit: I posted this in the pvp forum because I want to discuss pvp friendly assist/macro models.

Since I've been using focus for assist, and am now seeing the immense benefits in arena (and WOTLK hex) being able to use focus for other purposes, I am forced to rewrite all my macros.

I can't seem to find an assist/macro model that does it all. What do you recommend?
Everything I look at is either very complex or messy, or does not meet all requirements.


Assist by always having master as target: Has weird flaws on master when you switch targets quickly and press buttons quickly, aswell as weird effects when having other friendlies targeted.
Assist by focus: Well obviously you lose the great focus utility.
Assist by having a long assist list in every single macro: Does not meet the switch-master-quickly requirement.
Assist by using pages: Seems to require different macros for master and slaves, so limited to the 12 action buttons?
Assist by using party assignment: Not reliable.

Anything else? What is Ellay and others using?
