#showtooltip
/cast [@player]Spirit Mend
will cast it on you.
To have a button that casts it on you by default, and on your pet if you hold "ctrl" and click it:
#showtooltip
/cast [mod:ctrl, @pet][@player]Spirit Mend

I updated the macro a bit to let you left, right and middle click the macro for different heals.
#showtooltip Spirit Mend
/cast [button:3, @focus] Spirit Mend; [button:2, @pet] Spirit Mend; /[@player] Spirit Mend
Left click will heal you.
Right click will heal spirit beast
Middle click will heal your focus
Seems to work ok for me.

Oooo, thanks! I was doing this with the 'focus' and with the /target macro. I think I'll use the button version, though, because I'd like to have it for raid healing now and again.

Just a little tip:
typing /use instead of /cast will work as well,
and /tar instead of /target
if you are planning on making a really long macro, this difference may just allow you some extra lines.

If you are using your spirit beast during a raid, you can help out with tank healing by keeping the tank as your focus target and putting "/cast [@focus] Spirit Mend" somewhere in one of your shot macros so it always goes off.

This is my combo macro that I find very useful:
Code: Select all
#showtooltip [nopet:spirit beast, @player][mod, @player] Heavy Frostweave Bandage; [@player] Spirit Mend
/cast [nopet:spirit beast, @player][mod, @player] Heavy Frostweave Bandage; [help][@player] Spirit Mend
Looks more complicated than it is.
Basically, if you don't have a spirit beast out, it acts like a standard bandage macro; using a Heavy Frostweave Bandage on myself.
If I do have a spirit beast out, the macro is a bit more intelligent. By default, it will cast Spirit Mend. If your target is friendly (like a party member, or the pet itself), it will cast Spirit Mend on them. If you have no target, or an enemy targeted, it will cast Spirit Mend on yourself. And better yet, you just need to press a modifier (shift, ctrl, or alt) and it'll switch back to doing a basic bandage on yourself.
And if you wanted to go really fancy, you could add a [@focus, help] to the macro before "[help]" and it'll add priority support for any friendly focused creatures/players

If your like me and have a healer mod for another character you could set up a mouseover heal version of Spirit Mend.
/cast target=mouseover Spirit Mend
(may need [target=mouseover], not sure ATM)
Anyway, plug this into something like Healbot and you could just click your HB healthbar for fast access that won't dissrupt the flow of your pets attack.

It does. Also, you can change the "target=" part to just "@".

Neat. You just made my longer macro's more functional.

Ah, very nice! I think I'll trim out some unnecessary spaces (I'm not sure what exactly is necessary in this regard - the main concern is including spaces in spell names), and use this:
Code: Select all
#showtooltip [nopet:spirit beast,@player][mod,@player] Heavy Frostweave Bandage; [@player] Spirit Mend
/cast [nopet:spirit beast,@player][mod,@player] Heavy Frostweave Bandage; [help][@player] Spirit Mend

Some Dodgy Macro skills here. I think the following might be more reliable.
Code: Select all
#showtooltip
/cast [@player,nopet:Spirit Beast][@player,mod]Heavy Embersilk Bandage;[@mouseover,help][@target,help][@player]Spirit Mend
This will cast Bandage on yourself if you don't have a Spirit Beast or you push ctrl,shift, or alt.
It will cast Spirit Mend on targets in the following priority;
MouseOver Target (if Friendly)
Your target (if Friendly)
Yourself
Hope this helps someone.
