Macro and addon help pleaseFollow

A few questions since the patch that I haven't solved yet and am hoping someone here can provide some help/answers. I am spec'd as a BM hybrid 49/12 with a cat.

A) I am trying to use my boss macro [listed below], but my rapid fire never seems to cast, even if I click the macro a few times in a row. Is my coding wrong? My other macros are working [main macro shown below for reference].

B) I used to have an addon on that would show casting bars for my traps, healing pet, and the enemy's casting. I had to pretty much reinstall my addon/wtf folder after the patch and don't remember the name. Can someone suggest such an addon?

C) My focus target macro [also below] now creates a smaller portrait of my focus on the lower left hand corner of my screen, which I find distracting. Is there a way to stop this portrait from showing up and instead have a glow over my target's portrait when I click on them?

Thanks.

Boss macro:
/cast Hunter's Mark
/cast Rapid Fire
/use Bloodlust Brooch

Steady shot macro:
/cast Steady Shot
/cast [target=pettarget, exists] Kill command
/cast [target=pettarget, exists] Rabid
/cast [target=pettarget, exists] Rake
/cast [target=pettarget, exists] Claw

Focus macro: [i don't like the mouseover function and this forces me to click on the correct team member first--a visual doublecheck for me]
/focus [help]

Probably been covered elsewhere, but why is this?

Thank you for the advise. I'll try these out the next time I log on.

[target=pettarget] is not needed. The reason we used to use this was because if we just used the line /cast Kill Command, your pet would attempt to cast Kill Command on *your* target, and not the pet's target (or worse! It'll start attacking if you want to keep it on passive). Most of the time, it didn't matter because we often have pets attacking the target we're on. But in the off chance that you didn't want your pet on your target, it made a difference. Since it's no longer an actual attack, it's not targeted and your pet won't do anything if you use the ability.

The "exists" thing is to prevent an error when the ability was not available. You still need it if you want an all-in-one macro that works for all pets.

The lines:

/castrandom [exists] Kill Command, Rabid
/cas [target=pettarget, exists] Thunderstomp, Rake, Gore, Claw, Bite, Smack;

should work exactly the same as the macro you're using. You don't need to use separate lines to prioritize what gets cast first. You just have to order them in the list.

Edit: OOPS! realised a mistake with my macro. You need the [target=pettarget] if you don't want to keep the specials on autocast and put them into the macro. I personally don't see the point, though. None of the abilities have any problem autocasting the way that Lightning Breath used to.
