RaidCooldowns
RaidCooldowns
Tracks, transmits and displays the cooldowns of your raid.
What it is
RaidCooldowns is a single solution to display cooldown information for specific spells that a raid group might care about, as well as broadcasting any information about things that affect those cooldowns, such as glyphs or talent modifiers.
What it isn't
RaidCooldowns is very opinionated about what cooldowns it tracks. It tracks cooldowns that the raid as a whole might need to know about. It is not a personal cooldown tracker. As an example, a Mage might want to know his Mirror Image cooldown, but the rest of the raid doesn't really care, so RaidCooldowns doesn't track this cooldown.
If you're looking for a personal cooldown tracker, try Heatsink.
Why not just use oRA2 or CTRA?
oRA2 is a fantastic addon, but it only tracks four cooldowns, and only if the people who use those spells are also using oRA2 (or CTRA). RaidCooldowns can track not only those spells that oRA2 tracks, but also several critical spells it misses, such as Bloodlust or Heroism.
In addition to tracking more spells, it can also track most spells just by watching the user's combat log, with no syncing necessary.
As for CTRA, well... it's CTRA.
Limits of the combat log
While RaidCooldowns is able to track most cooldowns from the combat log, there are some caveats. The first major issue is that when a Shaman uses Reincarnate, no combat log event is ever fired. In order for this cooldown to be displayed, the Shaman either needs to be running oRA2/CTRA, or a copy of RaidCooldowns himself.
The second issue is that talents and glyphs can greatly modify the cooldown of a spell. This data isn't transmitted in the combat log and requires some syncing between users of RaidCooldowns.
RaidCooldowns will make the most of the data it gets from the combat log, but with more people in your raid running it, the more accurate it becomes.
Cooldowns
As of today, RaidCooldowns tracks the following spells:
- Death Knight: Anti-magic Zone, Bone Shield, Death Grip, Icebound Fortitude, Lichborne, Mind Freeze
- Druid: Barkskin, Challenging Roar, Innervate, Nature's Swiftness, Rebirth, Tranquility

Keep in mind that you can hide any spells you don't care about. Personally I only show about seven of the spells listed above.
FAQ
Wasn't this two separate addons?
Yes. The addon to display the data is now included by default. It was getting to be a pain to manage two addons that were so inter-connected to each other, and a bit confusing to end users. It's now a single, all-in-one solution.
Is it compatible with the previous version of RaidCooldowns?
No. The old version (two separate addons) was so out of date that any data received from it would have been questionable. As a result, I decided to make this version (single addon) use a separate broadcast code ("RCD2").
Does it handle Glyph of Guardian Spirit?
Yes, a special case was written specifically for Glyph of Guardian Spirit. If there are other cases like this that I'm not thinking of, please open a ticket.
How do I configure it?
You can type /rcd config to bring up the configuration window, or you can go to Main Menu, Interface, AddOns Tab, RaidCooldowns.

I still need to check some CD times, but feel free to message me for it if you want to update your addon ^^
Runeseeker: Usually developers appreciate patches against their tree as tickets.
http://textsnip.com/647ad9 updated for 4.0 .. but i couldn't test yet all of the cooldowns :X
Is that me that did something wrong or is it only tracking cd when you are in a raid ?
Is there anyway to make it track them when you are in a 5 man group ? (i like seing what others use, specially tott, md and interrupts :D).
Any chance you could tell me how to do the roll in since Tsigo isn't answering?
Under the line: ["WARLOCK"] = {
add the line: [GetSpellInfo(1122)] = { id = 1122, cd = 600 }, -- Inferno
Many guilds use infernal stuns on Heroic Lich King, and knowing when the stun is available can be very useful.
