It would be nice if you could do a "primary target" Command. In which you would point out an enemy as our largest threat and it would flash red or something to the group. Another thing I think would go well with tactics is be able to lay out group waypoints that can also have that yellow line between them.
Another Idea I have is formations. This wouldn't force people to move. Rather it would provide little glowing dots in a formation that advises people to go their.
I hardly ever do /rally because it breaks the group down when the battle turns defensive suddenly. As for the complaints about /retreats HAM costs all you need are buffs some brandy and maybe canape and you can spam it every 20 secs until they run out so thats a permanent burst run. I do think it should give the SL burst also though. (Even though the default saying says he will stay behind and fight.)

the whole point of the retreat command is that the leader goes down fighting giving his group the chance to escape, like a captain goes down with his ship sort of so giving the SL burst run would defeat the point.

well for one thing... the only skill I use is form up... Rally? my team-mates tell me to not bother because no one can sit or do much... With retreat all I use that for is to speed up my teammates running speed during guild hunts... worthless really... I wish they showed the passive bonuses on the side where they show buff info so I know I'm being usefull...
But for now I'll just keep the dizzy off! =(
