Odd things in raids

I did SSC the other night & had some really odd problems.
1.On trash clearing to Lurker i got silenced then a call came over vent for me not to break sheep. I said i was silenced & couldn't cast & had not in fact gotten anything off but the raid assistant read out something like "Elricc casts siphon life on ******" I was watching the debuff timer count down the silence & i was targeted on the add that was being focus fired so how did i "break sheep" ???
2. Latter in the run we were killing Leo the blind & i got inner demon 3 times in the 1 fight,which is not the problem I have no trouble killing my inner demon (in fact i have posted in another forum here in the den on how to do it) the first time i did the usual things 2 instant dots,trinket, shadowburn,death coil, SB & its dead then back to smashing leo.
The second time my trinkets & death coil were on cool down but still no problem.
the third time trinkets & DC were up so i did the same as the first time but when i hit death coil the demon didn't run thats when i noticed that i was targeted on leo again. i targeted the demon & saw the dots on it so i had targeted it but the target had changed to leo as i clicked either shadow burn or DC the end result was i got MCed & had to be killed.
Has anyone had targeting issues like this ?
I was wondering if mods could cause this?
the mods i run are:-
necro,DBM,Omen,quartz,Titan panel, CTRA (most of CT is turned off but i use the map,mail & bar mod)
Edit... does anyone run CTra anymore ?

Re: Odd things in raids

I wonder if its doing something like "target last target", and is now including the damage ticks from your Dots in the target sequence?

Do you have any macros that use that kind of targeting?

Re: Odd things in raids

I've noticed my target switching at odd moments too. Last night in Kara, there were three or four occasions where my target switched in the middle of the fight to a friendly target. I didn't use any target switching macros or anything like that. Kind of disturbing to be firing off only to realize that you're not really doing anything because you have a friendly target all of a sudden.

Re: Odd things in raids

Elricc, check to see that sticky targeting is enabled in the Blizzard Advanced Interface tab. There were alot of settings reset after the 2.3 patch.

Re: Odd things in raids

I also get weird targeting issues... Often if i just mouse over something (npc, mob, group member) i'll target it. It doesn't happen all the time, just enough for it to be irritating. Gotta always be on my my toes and it makes me always start my rotation with a non-instant dot (so that i can cancel casting if I see that my target has jumped to a cc'ed mob or something)
