That is probably not so true anymore. The mob will retain aggro on you and will attack even if you are 120m away. The combat queue will be cleared automatically because you cannot do any commands while incapcitated.
Now if you are refer to a macro to use before FD, then yes, I would recommend clearing the queue and removing armor if that is practical. However, you don't want to peace -- at least not in PvE -- because you must be in combat to FD. You would have to FD again after you are hit so basically you would take two hits. Actually, that probably applies to PvP also.
I'll assume you have a macro to remove armor and it is called removearmor.
/macro removearmor;
/ui action clearCombatQueue;
/dump; <-- only if you have other macros running
/feigndeath;

Avoid peace when using feign death.
try something like...
/stand;
/stand;
/ui action clearCombatQueue;
/pause .5;
/feignDeath;
/stand;
/ui action clearCombatQueue;
/pause .5;
/feignDeath;
going off memory here. Nothing is worse than being unable to feign death because you are kneeling, etc...
the clear command keeps you in combat without using peace. Vital in some cases. People complain about FD not working right, peace is normally the reason why.
slight pause and take a dive.

Not a prob. Check one of your other threads also. Caylin had some good tips.

Hmm, gonna have to give that a try. Tried to solo an AT-ST last night, and was totally owned by before I hada chance to use FoW.
After that I finally FORCED myself to start getting pistol exp, and picked up the first dirty fighting box.
