Do you know of a mod that tracks boss swing timers? I used to have a pretty good feel for them in BC just from repetition but I have no clue for the Cata bosses. I can see it being useful for certain bosses like Chimaeron (he seems to have a 4.8-5 second swing timer after the 20% attack speed debuff, but it also resets after each double attack and massacre).

Speaking of the debuff, I noticed our thunderclap / judgements of the just uptime tends to drop off after the enrage (since the tanks end up dying). The tanks should probably tclap/judge right before they die, an extra 20-30 seconds of the debuff buys us more time.

Also found a pretty good read for chimaeron's timings on heroic, worth a gander for healers and tanks: http://ziggyny.blogs...on-timings.html (He'll probably be the second heroic we end up doing after Halfus).

Here's a pretty good post on someone calculating swing timers for auriya. You could parse logs and figure out the swing timers for various bosses and I'm sure there is some kind of mod where you can just set it up to warn you at the guesstimated swing interval. It seems like someone could write a mod to monitor boss swings in real time though but I don't know if it exists yet. If I knew how to code addons I could try and write it up. It's a slow work day maybe I'll dive into some LUAs creamy goodness.

With the removal of parry haste from most bosses it's a lot more predictable, but I'm trying to avoid digging through logs for every boss (though it's not a big deal for some bosses that don't hit tanks very hard). Chimaeron's the big one and the 4.8 - 5 seems to be relatively consistent, but if there's a good mod out there it would be awesome.
