I think it's the difference between being melee and being a caster -
all my melee characters do the auto target thing, my casters don't.
Hybrids like a pally, probably mainly go with the melee option,
especially if you're ret/prot, although, quite possibly some ranged
spells won't. 

I think it's much like whether you start swinging your weapons on
casting the spell or not; on my deathknight, my strikes all start my
autoattack (including Icy Touch, which is ranged), but Death Coil
doesn't, I guess that's classed as a spell then!

/targetenemy targets the nearest target.  So macro this to a button or 
just use TAB.

on all my toons I macro an instant spell for 'farming' , doesn't matter what 
it is, just anything that tags a nearby target and has a rapid cooldown and 
put that macro in place of my usual spell on my spell bar

for my mage
/targetenemy [combat, noexists]
/Cast FrostboltI also have the arcane barrage spell set as a macro as well.
