Am I using the targeting system wrong or what?

Are you tanking or DPSing? If you're tanking... pretty much gotta use tab sometimes.

In groups I have 'T' set to target target's target. Meaning whatever the tank is working on, I can target it.

If you're soloing this isn't much help. But you don't have to target the mobs with tab. Everything you are fighting should appear in the lower left. I'm not sure how to use that with a controller, but if you're using a mouse you can click on them and target them that way.

I do both (DPS/Tank) and it's way worse when tanking. That said, I'll try getting used to clicking the specific mobs more, but it is a pain when you have to click the same one multiple times to target it. That might be an issue exclusive to me in this situation, but I'm just saying so you guys know my preference of using TAB over click.

Tab cycles in one direction, Shift+Tab cycles in the other.

You sir deserve a cookie. Thanks for the help!
