Hey, all. I've been trying to get my new gorilla's Intervene on a macro, and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
#showtooltip
/cast Intervene [target: player]
That should work, but it doesn't. Obviously I'm doing something wrong. Either you use something other than /cast for pet abilities, or I'm targeting wrong. Can anyone help me with this?

The macro doesn't look quite right. I don't have a macro for intervene yet, so I can't tell you exactly how it would look.
To your design though, you should probably decide on whom you want to 'intervene'. In all likelyhood, you won't want to use the talent on every person in the party or raid.
If you are "on watch" for the healers or casters, just create a macro that is bound to a multi-key stroke like <shift><f2> etc, to send the pet to intervene on the player in that slot. That way your function 'target' keys still work and a double stroke fires the intervene. It would be as fast or faster than hitting a function key then hitting an intervene key.
Or, something I'm using a lot of late, is the 'focus' feature. If you know a particular player (healer?) will take the lion's share of intervention, just use a keystroke binding to set the focus on that player and make your macro to target the focus target when you trigger the intervene. Since there is only one 'focus' you cannot be using it for anything else.
I currently use focus for my trapping and misdirection utility. I set the focus on my 'to trap' target and my assist macro launches the kitchen sink at the focus while my 'target' remains the primary group target. It's hard to break your own trap that way. I've even been able to pull past the pally thrown shield effect doing this. For misdirection I set the focus on the player I want to misdirect on then the macro casts MD on that target and my main target remains the party target and I wail on it with all that aggro going to the MD'd player. Both uses work. I'm not sure I'm going to use intervene with the set focus feature though. I might ***** that up with 3 different uses for it!

I guess I should have clarified what I'm wanting to use this for. I'm 99% solo PvE, so I just want to be able to Intervene on myself. If I target myself and manually click Intervene, it goes off fine, but it isn't practical to target myself in the middle of combat. A focus macro would probably be best, but I use focus for Misdirection, and I'd rather not accidentally Misdirect to myself (can that even be done?).
I know there's a way to make a macro target yourself, but I can't seem to figure it out. I'm not too worried about Intervening on party/raid members, as I'd be using my Devilsaur or cat in those situations.

I think your macro doesnt work because currently, it's trying to make you cast intervene, and not your pet.
If I recall correctly, you have to use something along the lines of '/click petbutton xx (whatever the button is named) [target=(yournamehere)]' if you want to intervene yourself with one button.
Although you wont be able to get the tooltip that way..
I'm no master of the macro's though, so I could very well be wrong.
