There is another very important difference between "/assist focus" and /cast [target=focustarget]" type macros. Consider the following two macros:

Macro 1:
Code:
/assist focus
/castsequence reset=combat/target/5 insect swarm, moonfire, starfire, starfire, starfire, starfire
Macro2:
Code:
/castsequence [target=focustarget] reset=combat/target/5 insect swarm, moonfire, starfire, starfire, starfire, starfire
Pop Quiz: Which of the above two macros actually works as intended?

Answer: Macro 1.

So, if you prefer to have your macros reset to the beginning of a lengthy castsequence when switching targets, the only one that works is the /assist focus type macro. I'm sure some folks will find creative ways to work around this.
To get Macro 2 to work, just replace the "target" in the reset part with "focustarget"
