Macro to assist tank???
Ok, with the release of the LFD tool, Blizzard has acknowledged rolls, ie Tank, DPS, Healer.
So, is it possible to do an assist on a roll and not a person?
Would it be:
/cast [pet:imp,@target,exists, assist:Tank] fire bolt

I can't test this while I'm at work, but I would doubt it since it's possible to assign more than one person to the same role.
Xersis - that's not possible in the macro language. There's more than one AddOn out there to help you set the tank in an assist macro though.

Will it let me make the pet assist the tank?
Warlocks have been having issues with our imp randomly attacking mobs that are in combat. The problem with this, is now that we can use Glyphed Fear as a cc, the imp will sometimes target that mob.
So, we've been coming up with a macro where the pet will go between passive and defensive depending on our spell cast.
So, it kinda occurred to me, what if I can have my imp just assist someone else and then I could target a different mob to cc without having to wonder if my imp will attack it. So, it was only natural to want to have the imp assist the tank.
The AI for pets doesn't have an "Assist this Unit" feature, and the macro language doesn't have an "assist role" feature.
You can use an AddOn like AssignedTankAssist - http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/assignedtankassist.aspx - to help you automatically update your macros to assist the LFD tank though.

I haven't tested it yet, but something like this may work:
That will have whatever target your 'maintank' (set by party/raid leader). Just make sure if you have any other tager code it is BEFORE the above target line.
[edit] That is, IF you are in a party Again - no idea if this works. But something I've been working on to keep my pet attacking the tanks target.
#showtooltip
/target [group:party,@mt,exists]mt

"mt" isn't a valid UnitId, so that's never going to work.

Ah HAH! Thank you for that link. That.. kinda stinks - because it'd be great if it did. In that case, just set the main tank as your focus, and swap 'mt' with focus in my above macro.
