We've spammed this quit a bit in some of our raids and I now a good number of people use them already, but I think it's best to get this posted up so that maybe people can copy paste or add to it.
The /targetexact macro is awesome for mashing your button to target the highest priority mob as soon as you can. There are a handful of bosses within ICC that target switching quickly is a must and this macro goes a long way to make that easy and quick. Here are the ones I have set up for the various bosses.
General Concept 1. Clear your current target 2. Target a specific mob 3. Stop the macro if you have targeted the mob 4. Repeat step #2 for each non-boss mob thats important to target 5. Target the boss
Lord Marrowgar /cleartarget /targetexact Bone Spike /stopmacro [nodead,harm] /targetexact Lord Marrowgar
Lady Deathwhisper /cleartarget /targetexact Deformed Fanatic /stopmacro [nodead,harm] /targetexact Reanimated Fanatic /stopmacro [nodead,harm] /targetexact Cult Fanatic /stopmacro [nodead,harm] /targetexact Lady Deathwhisper
Deathbringer Saurfang /cleartarget /targetexact Blood Beast /stopmacro [nodead,harm] /targetexact Deathbringer Saurfang
Professor Putricide /cleartarget /targetexact Volitale Ooze /stopmacro [nodead,harm] /targetexact Gas Cloud /stopmacro [nodead,harm] /targetexact Professor Putricide
The Lich King /cleartarget /targetexact Val'kyr Shadowguard /stopmacro [nodead,harm] /targetexact Raging Spirit /stopmacro [nodead,harm] /targetexact The Lich King

Wouldn't this one need to be Adherent for physical DPSers? Are they also deformed, reanimated, regular in that order?
Lady Deathwhisper /cleartarget /targetexact Deformed Fanatic /stopmacro [nodead,harm] /targetexact Reanimated Fanatic /stopmacro [nodead,harm] /targetexact Cultist Fanatic /stopmacro [nodead,harm] /targetexact Lady Deathwhisper

That is correct D, it would be Adherent for physical DPSers.
It would be the same priority except Deformed Fanatic would be replaced with Empowered Adherent.
There is no such thing as a Deformed Adherent or an Empowered Fanatic for that matter. . . just FYI.

I didn't think Deformed Adherent sounded right, but couldn't lay my finger on what the substitution was. Thanks Jerry. So, Lady Deathwhisper for Physical DPSers/cleartarget /targetexact Empowered Adherent /stopmacro [nodead,harm] /targetexact Reanimated Adherent /stopmacro [nodead,harm] /targetexact Cult Adherent /stopmacro [nodead,harm] /targetexact Lady Deathwhisper And, is it "Cult" or "Cultist"? I only ask because Tankspot and wowwikki both said "Cult". Thanks again for posting these. I personally only actually use the Putricide one, but it's a great idea.

It is "Cult". . . I actually wrote them from memory, so my bad on that one. Good pick-up D, thank you!

The following could be useful for Blood Princes in case anyone is ever on Kinetic Bomb Duty (or just wants to have it in case they have to pick one up on the fly)
/cleartarget /targetexact Kinetic Bomb
Could also be effective to macro in you pets attack if you have a pet. Although not sure how to or if it's even possible.

I'm pretty sure there's a /petattack command? Or something like that. I should macro the dark nuclei for Dewinter. That fight is NUTS for trying to see what you're grabbing, even with the health bars turned on.

I get the idea.. amazingly.. but I have one question, do you make a seperate macro for each boss or is it one big macro. Sorry if the answer is obvious ... I'm a bit ignorant when it comes to macros.

As long as they are on passive (tbh, I haven't had my pet off passive since my first trip to Deadmines at level 16...that was fun , just send them to your target .

Yeah, I usually just get the Kinetic Bomb targetted, and then hit my pet's Attack button. That way I end up putting a couple of white damage shots into the bomb to boot.

They are each seperate macros. I use the boss names as the titles of them to make them easier to find before each fight. Before the boss pull, I just do /macro to open the window and the drag and drop the macro I need onto my bar. I created them in the General tab as well, so that they are available for each of my toons.

This is what I used last nite for Argent (my wolf) during the Blood Council: /cleartarget /targetexact Kinetic Bomb /PetAttack A couple of things to consider with the way that is written, Triel. . . Frist, there is typically more then 1 Kinetic Bomb out at a time and you have no control over which one the macro is actually going to target. This could set your pet to attack one that is already being taken care of. Second, one thing you might want to add to the bottom of that macro is /targetlasttarget. This will flip you back to the target you last acquired and you can just continue pew-pewing. You won't even see a target switch on your screen.

Yeah, that switch back was definitely tripping me up. As for the pet attack, I was monitoring where Argent ran to and if there was another pet there I scanned for the other bomb, targeted it, switched him over, hit it a couple of times to provide enough time for the pet to position. Is there a command that I could add to handle thus situation?
