WoW Cleanse and Redemption Macro

I play World of Warcraft. Currently I'm working on a level 43 Blood Elf Paladin that is a part of a Tuesday night raid group with friends. I spend some time making macros and revising them to make gameplay easier.

Problem:
Need to quickly remove debuffs from raid members. Figuring out who has the poison or other debuff and targeting them is a pain (especially the targeting).

Solution:
#showtooltip
/targetraid
/cast [nodead,nomodifier][modifier,target=player] Cleanse; [dead] Redemption
/stopmacro [nodead]
/s Resurrecting %t

Notes:
This macro changes to the next person in the raid, and tries to cast Cleanse if they have a debuff on them. One can effectively mash this button fast and it will jump from one raid member to the next and cleanse if necessary. I added Redemption (the Paladin resurrection ability) to the list so it can also be targeted and cast quickly. Dead and nodead qualifiers take care of what to cast when. I found I had to add a modifier to this macro so that I could "Cleanse" myself when needed. Targetraid is a little spotty. Maybe targets have to be in front of your character's field of vision to be selected. Stopmacro is there for the resurrection announcement.
