Im using
this (23/44/4)
build for tanking and when needed for DPS.
(currently 17/44/4 as of lvl 74)
Only problem i have, is with pestilence to extend the diseases duration when tanking. So i was thinking of a Macro to make this somehow easier to do. I'm not to fast on switching targets with out loosing where me target is :)
Something like ?
#cast pestilence; pestilence
#cast blood boil
I can't test it yet, (@work right now) but could this marco work ?
Can u focus on a target with the mouseover funtion ? (this would be nice to change focus to other target with out clicking on it)
so u can keep an eye on the diseases of a focused target.
And use with pestilence when ur main target is running low on duration.
Why blood boil in it, well ur facing a group when ur using pestilence.
On single target u dont need to use it anyways ;)
if it doesnt work, i might throw in Epidemic instead of Veteran of the 3rd war.

why do you have to switch targets to use pestilence? It hits your current target and all other targets near it. If you get the minor glyph it'll hit everything within 5 yards.
The only ability i have macro'd is rune strike. Set it up so it auto uses every time its available without having to click on it.

if i use pestilence on the target i used IT + PS on than the timer of those diseases is not reset.
When i use pestilence on other target (ex. where a DPS is beating on) i can use the diseases on him to spread onto my target so it will reset. This allows me to use OB and HB instead of a new IT + PS rotation.
Saving time and make's more threat.
2nd Bloodrune is for Bloodboil
My rotation on
groups
is:
D&D > IT > PS > Pest > Horn of Winter (when not on 100 runic) > FS 2x or 1x+RS
2nd rotation : Pest (other target) > HB > BB > OB > FS 3x or 2x+RS >Repeat 2nd.
That's why i want a macro for it and able to not lose my current target. Also it helps me to get me rotation going without to apply IT and PS on new target.

Afaik you cant focus using mouseover, but your idea cant work coz of GCD. I normally use:
Pestilence
<tab>
#showtooltip
/cast pestilence
/targetlasttarget
because I havent found a way to add the <tab>(to switch to the nearest enemy) key to a macro. And just noticed you are from the same realm as me. Havent seen you ingame though.

This will really helps out with refreshing the diseases the cheap way (Rune wise ;) ) Thanks for testing it, i will go for it tonight.
And i rememberd that i dont have the Pest Glyph.
I Surely need to get it.
Same thing goes for Dark Command, now i need to hotkey it on a findable place ;)
Thx again this is good info, and a nice macro for Tanks..
