Character sheet display addons

I know that addons are available which set up their own stat displays on the character screen, for example, tankpoints has it's own display. Are there other mods that will customize what the 6 stats are that are shown there? Maybe one has already been written, if not, I imagine it shouldn't be too hard to figure out, although I've never tried to write my own mod.

The reason I want this is because I'm a feral tank, and so I like to use the defenses tab; but it has wasted slots for parry/shield block. I'd much rather put something like crit % there. It may not be strictly tanking, but it would be useful for overall gear comparisons to see how my threat/rage generation will go. If I put stamina/agility there, I may even not need to have base stats in the other window.

Similar changes could go on the melee tab, I don't need to know my weapon skill or attack rate as a cat, since neither can ever be changed. I'd prefer something that I could modify myself, but a pre-determined addon would work also. Has anything like this already been done?

I'm not sure if such addons exist, but I had to point out that Earthwarden and 6 other items increase feral combat skill (ie weapon skill).

Back to the point though, why not just show melee on one side and defense on the other? That's all I do. I don't know exactly what my base stats are, but what do they matter when the end result of all of them is shown on those two screens?

Call me crazy but I happen to like seeing my base stats. Granted, this isn't the most important mod, but it would be *nice* if I could do it, and it seems trival enough.

Also, while it does show feral skill increases, it uses your weapon skill as base, so if I recall correctly, I have 325 base 2H mace, and earthwarden puts my skill at 331...hardly accurate.
