i dont know if anyone will use this but its here anyway.
this is a macro combo i use fomaking sheeping alot easier.
it bacically consists of 2 macros. the first a focus macro that only caontains the line..
/focus.
the other a seperat macro that uses the focuses mob and sheeps it looks like this.
/target focus
/cast polymorph
/targetlasttarget
by using these 2 macros i fount it extramly easy to keep sheeps up and dps at the same time as you will never have to change target after setting the inital focus

( yes i know theres lots of grammar/ spelling mistakes.. no i cant be bothered correcting them)

Wridel mentioned a cleaner way to do the second macro if anyone is interested. It does the same thing but only uses one line:


/cast [target=focus] Polymorph

My full macro:

#showtooltip Polymorph(Rank 1: Pig)
/stopcasting
/focus [target=focus, noharm] [target=focus, dead] [modifier]
/stopmacro [target=focus, noexists][modifier]
/cast [target=focus, harm] Polymorph(Rank 1: Pig)

What this does:
1) Cancels any cast in progress. Very important if a sheep breaks.
2) Sets the focus to the current target, but only if the existing focus target is dead, no longer dangerous, or if you hold down a modifier key like control or alt.
3) Cancel the macro if no focus target is set (this is just to prevent error messages)
4) Casts polymorph on the focus target if the target is harmful and still alive.

Can I assume that this would work for banish and/or enslave macros with a few obvious tweaks?

Should work for any castable CC. I like to partner this up with Pitbull's focus unit frame, which I have set to a full size 3D portrait of the focus target. When the target is CC'd, you can see it in the portrait.

Nice. Reckon you could post a screen shot of your UI in action?
I still use the classic WoW interface (pretty much anyhoo). I've seen Trollie's Unit Frames through the raid recordings and it'd be interesting to see your's and how pitbull looks if it isn't too much of a hasssle. =)

Personally, i've found pitbull a little daunting to work with. My UI frames are from X-perl, you can also set it up to show 3-d images of your target or focus target. It just takes about 30 minutes or so to go through all the tabs on X-perl and get a hang of it.

Screenshot is up in the gallery now. The image is kind of small because I keep my screen resolution pretty high, but you can pick out the important details. I need to take a new screenshot this weekend in the raid.

Sadly, wridel hasn't raided in a while, so I don't have anything recent of his setup.
