    If you want one of the groups to tag something, but not the other group...
    You could manually move to a given window (which is part of the desired tagging group) and click an ability from there that is not broadcast.

    You could add a step to your spam sequence, placing it ahead of everything else.
    With a target of Current Window.
    No matter which toon you're using, that toon gets an initial move before anyone else on the team.





    You could create a mapped key for each target or groups of targets that you might want to "toggle off".
    Ten of these, would be one per slot.
    But if you knew you wanted to disable an entire group, that would be two mapped keys (one per group).

    Looking at my "Death Coil" for the Frost Death Knights...
    My spammed priority sends several Do Mapped Key actions to all of the DK's.
    One of these sends Shift-F8, to the current window.
    I have Death Coil on that keybind, for the DK's within the game.
    I have a Toggle (on my G15, G9 key) with two steps.
    (Keymap Actions > New Mapped Key State Action)
    --- Step 1: [Shift F8 Mapped Key] in [Team Keymap] [On] > Target: [My DK ATG]
    --- Step 1: Pop Up Text > Current Window.
    --- Step 2: [Shift F8 Mapped Key] in [Team Keymap] [Off] > Target: [My DK ATG]
    --- Step 2: Pop Up Text > Current Window.

    The spam key is calling several mapped keys...
    But we can enable/disable a mapped key for a given target.
    So even if it is called, it does not do anything.

    The mapped key which you spam, that calls everything else...
    That can be disabled.
    Or if need be, each of the pieces that it calls can be disabled.

    Spam Mapped Key
    - Do Mapped Key > Ability/Castsequence/Macro One > Target Whatever
    - Do Mapped Key > Ability/Castsequence/Macro Two > Target Whatever
    If you disable those, for Slot 5, Group 2 (which might be Slots 6-10), or an entire ATG...





    You could take it a step further; more organization initially but a smoother action once set up.

    Rather than have a single Key Map for the team, have 2+.
    You might have a Key Map for the Death Knights.
    And another for the Paladins.
    With a final Key Map for the Healers.
    Or go with one for the first five characters, another for the next five characters, etc...

    Under the character set, the second tab on the bottom right pane lets you White List the Key Maps that apply to your team.
    Under this setup, I would have DK's, Ret's, Healer's, General and Control enabled.

    Whatever key you spam, is the hot key for your "spam" mapped key.
    This normally calls all of the actions, for every toon on your team.
    Instead of having one of these...
    You would have one per Key Map.
    The DK Key Map would call mapped keys for the DKs only.
    The Ret Key Map would call mapped keys for the Rets only.
    (These would be on the same keybind, so one spam key calls abilities for each group of characters within the Key Map).
    You wouldn't have to group the Key Maps by class, it could be by physical group instead... whatever works for you.
    Both would be on the same keybind, so spamming the one key would essentially work the same as if they were all on a single Key Map.

    You can disable an entire Key Map quite easily.
    Control has an example, which turns Mapped Keys off by disabling every Key Map except Control for everyone, and then enabling again on the next press.
    If your first group was in Key Map One and your second group was in Key Map two...
    You could create a pair of toggles, each for an entire group.
    Toggle A
    --- Step One: Disable Key Map A > Everyone in Group A
    --- Step Two: Enable Key Map A > Everyone in Group A
    Toggle B... same thing, but for the other group.

    Just make sure to add each Key Map to the Mapped Key in the Control Key Map, so you can toggle off mapped keys.
