Hey all,

Do any of you have a good method of seeing quickly which mobs have been picked up by whom on the larger AOE packs in Hyjal (as an example of a place I often wish I had a nice at-a-glance view of this)?

I find myself on Kaz'rogal trash packs (the ones with 6 abominations plus adds), trying to pick up a fair share, but not so many that I get destroyed, and often wish I could tell whether I have 2 abominations and 4 ghouls on me, 4 abominations and 2 ghouls, or all 6 abominations and really need to prompt the other tanks to act fast and pull some off.

I have Dogtags configured so that my tooltip as I hover over a mob or mob's nameplate says who it is targeting, but you know how the packs in Hyjal are when you are AOE'ing them down...there are nameplates swimming around everywhere, never staying put relative to each other, and hovering over one for any period if time is a trial, plus even tabbing around or clicking them to see isn't terribly efficient.

I'd be much better able to analyze if a pull has gone wrong or we need to adjust our approach on future pulls if I knew that by consecrating here, tossing AS there, and exorcizing elsewhere, that I'm pulling too many of the pack or not enough (or that we are missing some initially).

Any mods out there that folks are employing to good effect, or other tactics?
