It's very easy for Warriors and casters to accidentally pop sheep. Warriors use AOE attacks like Whirlwind, Cleave, and Thunderclap to improve DPS and also constantly switch targets to keep aggro. As for casters, we have lots of DOTs we'd like to put on the mobs that aren't being sheeped. In these cases, I think a macro that says "Sheeping add" or "Sheeping the caster on the right" would be useful so others can modify which attacks/spells they use.

You seem to say that, like Savaughn, you occasionally have trouble with popping sheep and accidentally doing so. Then by all means, ask for whatever aid you deem is necessary. However, this is not in any way universally true, and is not true at all for people that I've partied with. I don't question your experiences at all, but to claim that it either is or isn't easy is a universal statement that can't be backed up.
By the way, "sheeping the caster on the right" is an example of a macro that's totally worthless in combat. Not only are you expecting people to keep track of which mobs the casters are, but you're expecting them to all see "left" and "right" from your perspective, which is rarely ever the case in the middle of combat.
