Rod, in your interface options somewhere there is the option to have attack turned off or on upon assist. I keep it turned OFF because I don't want to make a mistake while grouping by breaking CC. It just means you have to manually attack after you assist, which isn't too hard if you macro in (as you noted) startattack with your abilities.
Example of say a warrior.....choose all your main abilities......and create macros for them. Drag them to your bar where your plain ability would normally be, replacing it.
Example of macro: Choose the "?" icon, and name it after the ability, click okay and type in the body of the macro..... #showtooltip /startattack /cast Heroic Strike
Drag it to your bar, click once, and it should show the icon for Heroic Strike after that. Now, when you hit the key, it will start attacking even if the skill is on cool down.
As for your rage......are you killing critters available for a bit of extra rage? In most dungeons along the way, there will be some form of critter you can use your rage gaining skills on to keep the rage built up a bit. (spiders, rats, etc) Don't really play a warrior, but I have seen them do this in the past.......
