Dormant Gomazoa's last ability triggers when you become the target of any spell, including one you control. It doesn't matter who else or what else the spell targets.
Wotc — June 15, 2010
A spell can target you only if it specifically says the word "target." One that says "You draw two cards," for example, doesn't target you.
Wotc — June 15, 2010
You become the target of a spell when a spell is cast targeting you, when a spell has one of its targets changed to you due to a spell or ability like Deflection, when a spell that's targeting you is copied and that target isn't changed, or when a spell is copied and one of its targets is changed to you.
Wotc — June 15, 2010
Dormant Gomazoa's last ability won't trigger when you become the target of an ability.
Wotc — June 15, 2010
If you become the target of a spell, Dormant Gomazoa's last ability triggers and is put on the stack on top of that spell. Dormant Gomazoa's last ability will resolve (allowing you to untap it) first.
