Misdirect Pet Macro

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone knows a functional misdirection to pet macro.

I tried

#showtooltip
/cast [@pet] misdirection

or

/cast [@pet5] misdirection

I tried using my pets name as well, but nothing.

TY in advance

#showtooltip misdirection
/cast [@focus,help][help][@pet,exists] Misdirection

That should cast to your pet every time. In addition, if you have a focus target that is friendly it should try to cast to them instead.

misdirection helper addon....set to tank ( or another target) in raids soloing auto set to pet...
#showtooltip Misdirection
/cast [help] null; [target=focus,exists,help,nodead] Misdirection
/focus [help,exists,nodead]
/cast [help] null; [target=pet,exists,nodead] Misdirection

Press once to set focus, press again to cast on said focus. If anything fails, it casts MD on the pet. One-click wonder button.

Waaaaaaay too long.#showtooltip
/cast [@focus,help][@focustarget,help][help][@targettarget,help][pet,nodead,exists][]Misdirection
I won't speak to whether or not this is a good idea in the first place - I take a very different approach to targeting - but if you're going to do this, there isn't any reason for five cast statements and that "target=" nonsense was upgraded to @unittype several xpacs ago.

None of these seem to work. Anyone know of a current functioning version?

I use
#showtooltip misdirection
/cast [@focus,help][help][@pet,exists] Misdirection

7 years later and STILL helpful
