I use a macro which cycles through targets, focus, party number and me.
I don't know about the alliance way but you could probably get away with selecting their character, putting them as your focus target and then using the macro.

This is the macro I have for WHM that seems to work. I think I pulled it off a website at some point and added the focus target part in myself.
Code:
/macroicon  "Cure II"
/ac "Cure II" <f>
/ac "Cure II" <2>
/ac "Cure II" <me>
/ac "Cure" <f>
/ac "Cure" <2>
/ac "Cure" <me>
/macrolock
