This isn't possible to do accurately. It works for DoT Timer addons as you can always know which exact mob someone targeted and after that the duration of the DoT is pretty much fixed, but it'd get inaccurate for a threat meter which doesn't just have to track the spellcast, but also the damage done by the spell, and the damage done by the spell can vary through partial resists, damage increasing debuffs etc.

Plus there's simply no good way of handling AoE through it.
