I had this issue when I ran a dungeon as a tank for the first time. I solved it by keeping two versions of Tomahawk/Shield Lob on my hot bar. One version is the regular one that's not attached to a macro, and one is the one attached to the macro. So when I'm numbering I toss out the one attached to the macro. If I have to grab aggro again I just toss out the regular Tomahawk/Shield Lob and the mobs stay numbered how I had them set up originally.

Typically you only use the macro with mark 1. If you're fighting something and you decide to mark something else, you're probably not going to use mark 1, so you just assign it a different number and therefore aren't using Shield Lob/Tomahawk anyway. If you want to change that target to mark 1, you still don't have to use your marking macro; you just manually assign it to one. On PC you can right click on enemies to mark, so it's not as time consuming as everyone makes it out to be.
