You could go with straight spells for the DPS.
And a specific key you press for Assist, or FTL Assist or whatever.

That way, whenever you want a target switch, you press the assist macro.
But until you do, the other toons stay on whatever they have targeted already.
To be honest I don't really want to press an extra button (assist) for every mob I want to kill while boxing. In this particular example fight I wouldn't be too bad. But for general use I don't think that is an option for me.

Currently my setup is such that ..
- they are equal for every team
- I can swap whatever toon around that i want
- i can run tank + dps + healer, but as easy run 4 dps and set my focus on my current leader to any tank in the encounter
- there is no difference for pvp / pve
- I can play a toon solo without having to swap anything around

Keep in mind that I use a raw key broadcasting script, I don't use any fancy multiboxing software (like isboxer and whatnot). It just sends a keypress to a predefined set of windows. That's just my preferred way of boxing and so far i can say it worked out pretty well.

I shifted away from click / comma macro's and basically play my toons as I would play them solo i.e. cast the spells I want. Every spell is a macro of the form
/click button1
/cast Lightning Bolt

Where button1 contains my /assist focus + modifier stuff. So I can just blank out button 1 whenever I want to play solo.
