Wing buffets are tested to be a 50% aggro reduction, with the exception of some specific mobs. The NPC framework allows modules to register abilities, and those abilities are then checked against the combat log. When an ability fires, the current boss module gets first crack at it; if the boss module handles it, then the event is given to it for parsing. Otherwise, it's passed to the general handlers.

For example, KTM calculates Onyxia's knockback as a 75% threat reduction, but every other knockback is a 50% reduction. In my framework, if you're fighting Onyxia, the Onyxia module gets the first chance to handle knockback, so it does, and reduces the knockback target's threat on herself by 75%. If you're fighting another mobs that knocks back, no boss module handles it, so it goes to the generic knockback handler, which reduces threat by 50%.

I'm on a few days WoW-break right now, but I'll be trying it out as soon as I get back, and see how it goes.
Heh, no problem. I just know that anything on EJ gets a ton of exposure, and I was hoping to knock out the more obvious bugs before it was unleashed on the world. Oh well - update early, update often, kids!
