Did you try "Master Intensity" and/or reference scenes?

If I understand MisterJ correctly he is composing scenes as he wants 
to be able to correct the intensity of some channels in all cues. The 
master Intensity is made to do that.

In order to "focus" pan/tilt you can use a reference scene with an 
add layer to shift all P/T channels. (you can also add a Transparency 
layer to make a dynamic "master" control for Intensity channels. For 
P/T channels it's resizing of paths).

But you already knew that:

A focus on color/gobo, uhh what do you mean by that?
