Focus on the Details!
Focus is a feature that has been implemented for quite some time. When I got back to wow though I still had not worked with it much and didn't think much of it. It Arena or any other type of coordinated PVP (and even PVE) its amazing. I am going to try and break this down for the Rogues that have not tried this.
Focus sets a secondary sticky target. You can change your primary target all you want but your focus target will be the same until you decide to change it. Even after it has died. To set a focus target just target something and type /focus
If you have a unit frame for focus target you should see something appear. If you have everything in pitbull unit frames enabled you probably saw half a dozen bars appear. Just in case you ever wanted to know... Your focus target's target' target's target's target's is always Kevin Bacon.
Now that you have your focus set you can start writing focus into your macros. This is where I was orginally turned off to focus. I couldn't imagine a situation where I would want my blind button to only blind my focus and adding additional buttons did not appeal to me.
/castsequence [target=focus,exists,harm,nodead] ShadowStep, Kick
If you have extra space on your keyboard or have a Nostromo you could set this macro up to Shadowstep to your focus and kick them. The only macro I have tested on this page in live is the first one. The last two are theory that should work based on macro syntax.

This macro will cast Blind on the focus target if it has been set to an enemy that is not already dead or it will simply blind your target if it is an enemy that is not dead./cast [target=focus,exists,harm,nodead][harm,nodead] Blind
I beleive this macro will allow you to Sap and then Blind your focus. The only problem is that you wont be able to blind unless the sap was successful. So probably not something I would use. But you can see the benefit... one button that you press whenever its your turn to cc the focus target. Combine that with a warlock's cc abilities also set in a focus macro like that and you have a very nasty ability to keep one target cc'd while you dump your dps on your primary target./castsequence [target=focus,exists,harm,nodead] Sap, Blind
/castsequence [target=focus,exists,harm,nodead] ShadowStep, Kick
