Can anyone tell me a macro that can get pet specials to work reliably, if there is one, I'd much appreciate it

You can use a variation on this:

/tellpet follow
/pause 0.1
/tellpet special
/pause 0.1
/tellpet attack
/echo Special Attack

- Follow: Can be the follow or follow other command. This disengages the pet from combat.
- Pause: Commands seem to flow better and tellpet breaks less (for me at least).
- Special: Re-engages the pet using its special attack.
- Attack: (optional) In case one of your pets doesn't know the special command.
- Echo: This is for your benefit, so you know the command was executed.

This will work almost all the time, however the target may resist. Poison and knockdown do not work on command. The commands do not queue, so there is no need to spam them. Once every two seconds or so will let you chain them until they stick.
