Power Auras Classic should be able to do this no problem, since CtH applies a buff to you, you just have to set the aura whenever you have the buff.

I think you can just choose
/cast Steady Shot (?)
/cast pet skill name

I was doing that while soloing content pre 4.0.1, don't know whether it still works.

If it's helpful at all, Power Auras Classic will also cover buffs/procs specifically on your pet. All you have to do is type the word "pet" in the Unit Name box at the bottom of the aura, and the aura will trigger for any pet regardless of its name. I use this feature now to monitor the Frenzy Effect stacks on my pets. It's super effective.

If an addon could simply inspect behind the scenes who was in the raid (possibly a database of guildies) and then spit out the apropriate pet that would make things very smooth for a lot of people.

I've found a beautiful little thing called RaidChecklist, awesome. You can find it on Curse for example.

Excelent !!! I was looking for something like that, it will save me some minutes of every 10-man raid (as we never use the same people).

Is there an addon which allows me to monitor my focus just as a simple number that i can track independently somewhere in my ui? I remember that I have seen something like that in some rogue videos in the past, however I am not able to find it.

EnergyWatch works for me.

I've been using Stay Focused It actually color codes based on whether you have enough focus for signature shot+arcane or just the signature, or not enough for either, but I haven't really been paying as much attention to that part of it, mostly it was just a convenient Focus Bar addon that did what I wanted. It also has a numerical display on it, in addition to the bar, which I think is the part closer to what you were looking for.

I currently use IceHud, as I preferred it to Xperl. It uses a similar layout, and shows a clear vertical Focus bar (I believe there's options for Horizontal as well) that surrounds your character. When it's over halfway full, it's easy to recognize your current focus as 60+, and it makes for the perfect visual cue by which to base your shots. Here's a screenshot in case someone's interested.

Anyone knows the simple addon which works after patch 4.0.1 and tells when Serpent Sting runs out with sound, flashing screen or something like that? Not good for SV hunter to be dpsing without SrS even a few seconds.

Power Aura is certainly your tool.

For focus bar addon, something like Acherus Runes for DK would be awesome, the triangle layout is much more intuitive than a simple bar, and we can put markers for specials on sides.

edit: got it working for hunters, here is what i did

1. in AcherusLoader.lua, change the DEATHKNIGHT to HUNTER

if select(2,UnitClass("player")) == "HUNTER" then LoadAddOn("Acherus") end

2. in RunicPower.lua, change the powertype to 2

local powertype = 2 -- FOCUS

then log into game, disable Disease, Runes, Procs in setting page. there you go, you can use all color settings in Runic Power tab.

Here's a screenshot.

Hunter focus bar is a decent focus bar addon, which also tracks important buffs, such as ISS duration, frenzy stacks, and lock n load. Shift click to reposition, /hfb config to change settings such as height and width.

I do however find myself still staring at my character portrait to track focus, despite having a nice central bar to track it

I personally still use Power Auras also, its flexibility is brilliant, allowing you to track almost anything with visuals, sounds, and timers.

Sounds to me you're looking for Digits: simple numeric display of hitpoints and mana/rage/energy/runic power/focus

For that I use the add on Need to Know. With Need to Know I can program all pet ability procs along with my trinket and tier procs, also its an easy way to keep track of Serpent Sting. Need to Know is a simple alternative to Power Auras which is quite complex and hard to get used too if you have been playing a long time.

I'd like to know if there are any add ons or scripted macros that have been designed for trap launcher? Ideally I'd like some kind of way to be able to macro my trap launcher to fire whichever trap I have chosen "on the target I have chosen automatically" effectively making it like a shot and cutting out the movement time that has to be done in order to manually move the trap target myself. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Also is there an add on that can track "both" LnL procs and Aimed Shot procs? I know of plenty of LnL add ons and one Aimed Shot one but none that can cover both. Audio add ons particularly would be useful. In fact if there is site that covers scripted macros for the 4.0 + patch a link would be quite useful. The new mechanics have made some of the old macros obsolete and abiltys like Kill Command much more important to incorporate into rotations.

*edit* This was actually meant to be a reply to the question that is the first paragraph. I meant to copy the post into this one but it didnt work.
