I think Fur's point here is that you're adding an extra layer of complexity by having to make damn sure your alts are targeting the correct person to auto-assist. With focus, once it's set, it's always correct no matter what, unless you lag out or get MC'd, and those caveats all still apply to your targettarget setup.

It could also be argued that you lose the use of your "target nearest enemy" keybind AND lose the ability to independently target things for CC by default (aka no having to set focus at all) before the pull and then just concentrate on DPSing when you're setup to use targettarget in your macros, where you're saying you can use focus to target the CC. Put another way, the guys that use focus for assigning a leader are front-loading their strategic targeting and then being able to just mash DPS/heal keys and have it Just Work(tm) whereas you're back-loading it, having to constantly monitor it during the fight. That's basically my perspective anyway.

I'm also with Fur that CC is vastly overrated in most situations.

The bottom line, though, is that everyone's setup will be slightly different based on hardware, software, classes/talents, macros, playstyles and your chosen fight strategy. More choices = GOOD. Since every one of these methods has proven successful at just about everything, there is no way to Do It Wrong(tm).

Me, I'm ultra-lazy. I worship the God of Labor Saving Devices. I basically have my macros condensed down to 3 keys.
  1. My /follow and /focus set key (which automagically adjusts for leader death)
  2. My MAKE IT DIE NOW PLZ key (aka Donkey Kong key, aka I Just Got To A Good Part Of The Movie I Was Watching And I Need To Spam One Key To Finish This Pull Without Looking While I'm Watching This Scene)
  3. My Heal The Tank And The Group key (gotta love Wild Growth, eh?)
true it was a pain until I started using stickytargeting - had a wipe or 2 before I figured that one out - now the target is the target without any issues

I'd love you to post your macros
