Is there any chance you might put this addon up on curse? After trying long and hard downloading it from wowinterface, i have given up, i simply can't install it, used the guide and asked a friend but still... I would hate to lower my dps because of this and your addon seems wonderfully made  Registered just to post this.

I have looked all over the posts to a question I've been trying to figure out on my own and could not. My question is what is the command to bring up the options menu. Everytime I type /saa it gives me a list of options as a "/frames" or "/bars," I was hoping to find out how to get the interface to pop up instead of seeing it in my chat window.

Code added to watch Wrath of Elune procs.
First of all, thanks Adoriele for coding the mods to this addon - it's been a big help for me and other druids I've recommended it to.
I've added the ability to watch Wrath of Elune procs, working from release 1.1.1 of the addon. This is the 4-piece Balance PVP set bonus proc that's been in game since they removed the feral runspeed bonus from the Balance PVP set. Someone has requested this functionality on the Squawk and Awe wow-interface comments page, but I admit the development was driven by my own desire to watch the proc prior to seeing that request.
I'd like to submit the patch for review and possible inclusion in future releases of the addons if that's OK. Please let me know how you'd like me to proceed. I can provide a zip of the complete updated addon, or "patch" format data from all modified files. The only thing remaining to do for this functionality to be complete for all locales is localization for French, German, Russian, Traditional Chinese. I'm not sure of the process for that localization for this addon, so for now the English placeholder strings are used in those locale files.
I also noticed some stub code that can probably be removed, dealing with 2 piece tier 6 bonus. I didn't touch it though as I was just going for the Wrath of Elune feature. I'm interested in general in helping maintain the addon, add new functionality and help merge in the relevant upstream features from Shock and Awe (such as their new priority queueing system, and any major architecture changes they make).

Is there an internal cooldown for Wrath of Elune ? I am using power auras to watch for all procs (eclipse, wrath of elune, trinkets) along with Squawk and Awk (thanks a lot for this addon Adoriele !).

In about 10 minutes at the test dummies, I did not see Wrath of Elune proc more often than every 15 seconds. However it did occasionally proc back to back right after expiring, if I did not use it up by casting Starfire, which leads me to believe the internal cooldown is around 15 seconds. It does not seem to refresh itself, rather it will just fall off after 15 seconds, with its 15% chance to proc on each Wrath cast thereafter.

Is there a chance of getting a version that works on the PTR? My dps drops a lot when I can't use this addon, so it's hard to test how we are doing in 3.1. When I enable this mod I eventually get a message saying that it is generating a lot of errors and asks if I want to disable all addons. If other people aren't having problems on the PTR please let me know.

Yeah, there were changes to UnitBuff (I think) in 3.1 that will break SAA. I haven't had a chance to fix them, largely because I'm not on the PTR so I wouldn't be able to test.
On another note, there's an addon named SquawkHard which pretty much does exactly what I'd envisioned for SAA2.0. What this means is that I've pretty much stopped development on SAA at this point. It does most of what I'd envisioned pre-2.0, and I'm more than willing to let someone else take care of the 2.0 features I'd planned on. I may still add some trinket proc checking, but that'd be about it.

Noway dude, dont stop your work!
Your addon much better, its not just "now cast this, now this, wait, no, cancel this and cast this" like SquawkHard is...
I like to watch CD line counter, its gimme chance to realy thinking on what spell is better to cast at this moment and then recast.
I realy hope i will see and use SSA2.0 in 3.1 in case it sooo close and SSA is so good!

Well, personally I just use both. I probably wouldn't be able to implement the feature with any less performance impact than SH already does, and my development time is at this point severely limited. Plus, in order to get it up and running, I'd need to make some heavy changes to the way SAA is coded, which would probably introduce bugs. There's a reason I'd labeled it as 2.0, it would be a major revision to the way SAA works. At this point, I just can't justify spending the time on it when someone else has already implemented it more than adequately.

ShockHard vs ShockAndAwe codebases, 3.1 incompatibilities
Thanks for the update Adorielle, and the tip on that other addon. I'm going to take a look at SquawkHard to see what features it's giving, compare that to the current feature list of Levva's ShockAndAwe (effectively the upstream codebase) and decide if it is worth my time to continue development. I wish I had a shaman to really see ShockAndAwe in action - I might have to level one up a bit to get a proper idea of what it does.
Updating current SAA to 3.1 compatibility is something I can also look at, as I'm on the PTR. Thanks for the tip that the current incompatibility is probably related to UnitBuff - that will narrow things down considerably.

I use Shock for my shammy (66), and it's similar in functionality to SquawkHard. I don't even use the timer bars, though that's more because I have my own cooldown addon running that presents the info nicely enough for me. Plus, an Enh shammy is cooldown-based, while a Moonkin is buff/debuff based, so bars are more interesting for us.

I also whipped up a small spell priority addon for moonkins this weekend, mostly because I hadn't heard of SquackHard. I intend to release it sometime before 3.1 once I add support for more rotations other than Solar Eclipse and decide what else if anything to put in it. I currently use it in conjunction with SaA but if the later starts to suffer from some bit rot, I'll probably add some bars (plus I've been aching to use LibBars in something).
Attached is a screenshot (the number of buttons it displays is configurable, and the text above the icon gives the number of seconds from now when it thinks you should cast it).

I love this addon for the fact that it has the ICD on Eclipse. That's my main reason for its use and I'll continue to use it for that purpose.
Is there a reason why you can't completely make the background transparent on a bar? I'm looking to just have the text show for Eclipse ICD but the background & the countdown tick still show.

I first want to compliment you on your addon, as I am positive my DPS would be nowhere near where it is without it. :-)
Are there any plans to add the 4T8 proc? Just another bar that would say how much longer you have to get off your insta-starfall. You may not want to cast it during a wrath eclipse, for example, so it'd be good have the duration of the buff up there next to your eclipse bar.

I will probably add a bar for that, yes.
