Well, thats an improvement. However, it doesn't cast unless I have a
target. I need to cast /targetenemy if I have no target, or my target
is dead. 

This does work:

/targetenemy [noexists] [dead]
/cast Conflagrate


I need this macro because unlike my Pally, the 'lock doesn't seem to 
autotarget mobs. As a result, I'm losing tags in crowded zones, and 
failing to acquire new targets quickly when fighting multiples.

I may switch it to Fel Flame for the faster recharge.

Many Ironfur Herdlings gave their lives to bring you this information.
