just wondering if anyone out there in the wonderful world of wowhead pls help/clarify something.
i heard it's possible to make a macro that marks your target, i.e skull cross triangle etc...
so a) if so, can someone pls share.
and b) if true, is it possible to target marks?
only being a pally tank and tanking the group of 7 in shattered halls, moving through the kill order is harder than actually tanking all 7 :s

"No" has historically been the answer to this, and I think it's the right one.
When I'm tanking that many mobs, I usually change off of the skull to the next target in the rotation before the skull dies so there's no time where people cannot assist me to find the right target. If the DPS pulls the skull off of me when I stop attacking it, it's generally close enough to dead that they won't eat more than a hit or two. YMMV from healer to healer and from DPS to DPS :).
I also use a skull marking macro bound to a mouse button to move the skull as a visual indicator to augment the ability to assist me. It also keeps people focused if I need to change targets to build threat on something else or if I'm tanking so many mobs I have to actually change targets while I'm swiping.
Here's the skull target macro:
/script SetRaidTargetIcon("target", 8)
Pressing multiple times on the same target will toggle it off and on.

Yeah It's quite awesome. I use it every time I tank.

You could just use a standard keybind instead of the macro^^
