"Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death" is the conclusion of the most common Marian prayer, the Hail Mary. And most prayers asking people to pray for us are also asking to pray for things--for example, "Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlelessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains." (Ephesians 6:19-20)
And most prayers to Mary do NOT fall into the category of asking her to pray for us. Most of them are asking her to do things for the petitioner herself.
