DKDiseases
6.0 and Warlords of Draenor
The addon is updated for 6.0 but the Disease Strength feature has been removed. In 6.0+ Death Knight diseases will no longer snapshot their strength. They update dynamically so there is no need to track their strength.
The Soul Reaper vs. Howling Blast functionality is also not needed now but it is still in the addon. You can disable it as Soul Reaper will always do more damage than Howling Blast. It will just show the Soul Reaper icon when appropriate.
Overview
DK Diseases will track your diseases on your target or focus.
You can choose either the block or bar display. It is highly configurable so check the settings to adjust the display to your preference.

Posted Feb 5, 2014The addon works properly for me. Those values are incredibly low unless you're level 60. I'm guessing you are level 90 but I thought I should warn everyone that it isn't meant to work perfectly for lower levels.
You probably need Disease Strength Tracking enabled since all the calculations are done in one spot. It's an old feature for a couple people who wanted to use less CPU because they were just using the addon to track disease times.

Posted Feb 7, 2014I would really like to use this addon for the Soul Reaper vs. Howling Blast indicator, but it does not seem to be working. I've tried various settings, but it just doesn't work. Even when I set it to Always Show and Value, the value stays static (it reads "60k - 499") no matter what trinkets, unholy strength from Rune of the Fallen Crusader, Pillar of Frost, etc. proc or change while I'm in combat. If you can get this to work, it could be extremely useful for dw frost dks seeking to maximize damage.

Posted Feb 8, 2014Hi VaeVictisDominus. I'm confused by the issue. If you are Unholy then the SR vs HB indicator shouldn't show up. Howling Blast is only for Frost spec. The icon will hide itself. If you are in Frost spec and do not see it but Always Show it checked, then something else is going wrong. It's also possible it is off the screen so you can check the x,y coords for it.

Posted Feb 8, 2014Yes I understand that it wouldn't work for unholy. I was simply responding the soul reaper not working at all. Shouldn't the soul reaper part of the addon work with unholy though? Not the HB vs SR indicator, just soul reaper itself when the target is sub 35%. I may have misunderstood what that part of the addon did if that's the case.

Posted Feb 9, 2014That was the problem. I had Disease Strength Tracking disabled because disease strength doesn't really matter for Frost and I already had Weak Auras set up for watching the disease timers. After I enabled that, the Soul Reaper Tracking started to function. I'm looking forward to trying this out in our raids. However, can you please add a feature to turn off the numbers for Disease Strength Tracking? I'm basically just using that feature as a simple disease timer tracker as Frost just to get the Soul Reaper feature to work.

Posted Feb 12, 2014Sorry VaeVictisDominus, the addon doesn't track the basic Soul Reaper and notify you when the target is below 35%. I have a rune addon called Compact Runes that does that though:
http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/compact-runes
DK Diseases mostly tracks more complicated things like disease strength and special cases such as when Howling Blast could do more damage than Soul Reaper.
It's possible whatever rune addon you may use could track it? If not, check out Compact Runes. It uses the DDR-style of rune display which is fairly popular.

Posted Dec 11, 2013Very Nice Addon. Thanks a lot.
Just a quick question, is there any way to remove everything around the 2 diseases icons ?
I just want to keep the 2 icons and the timer in it and nothing else.
Thanks for your time ;)

Posted Dec 23, 2013You can control just about everything in the settings. I added an option to remove the background if you wish although the color coding is there to help you decide if you should re-apply the diseases. Are you also wanting to remove the strength value? If you removed that, you'd just have a simple disease timer though.
The new alpha with the new option is here:

If you go to the Target or Focus settings, look under Block. Under Layout, I added a Background option. It toggles if the background is show.

Posted Sep 10, 2013It works for me on 5.4 live using version 0.5. Probably some obvious things but check you have:
If you cannot get it to work, send me your settings and I can help you with it. You can either send a screenshot or the Lua setting file.

Posted Aug 16, 2013The focus frame works weird for me. (i use block style)
1. focus frame won't disappears as we cancel the focus target.
2. disease time value on the focus frame does NOT work correctly. As we refresh the time value on the target frame disease, the time value on the focus frame won't update at the same time.
3. after item 2 happen, time value eventually disappear on the focus frame

Posted Jul 19, 2013I've been noticing on some fights where bosses have significant damage reduction at some point during the fight; such as Lei Shen during intermissions, my DK Diseases will show a percentage value of 100 when I return to the boss with time left on super strong diseases I rolled since the pull.
For instance, I get the most ideal trinket procs and weapon enchant proc and then apply with Outbreak, then roll those diseases till intermission. Then when getting back on Lei Shen, there's still time left on my diseases from the pull, but instead of a "red" value less than 100, they say that they are 100% without any current procs.
I'm not sure if this is a bug in the addon or if the addon is being perverted by the encounter mechanics (Lei Shen takes 90% less damage during intermission).

Posted Jul 19, 2013DK Diseases doesn't account for Lei Shen's damage reduction during intermission. If you applied diseases at the start and kept them rolling (i.e. Festerblight), then intermissions began, and there were not procs since then, it should not show any change in the strength. It sounds like it is working how I would expect.
It would take extra processing to detect Lei Shen's debuff and that did not seem worth it. I think everyone understands the issue with attacking him during intermission.
The only downside to the current behavior is if someone was not aware of it and figured it was safe or worth it to refresh diseases on him.

Posted Jul 20, 2013Yeah that is typically what I have experienced. I would go out of the intermission with no trinket procs and the addon is saying that my current diseases are equally as strong as if I were to reapply them. So when my trinkets do start to proc the number goes up leading me to believe that reapplying them is beneficial when in reality the current diseases from the pull are with ideal procs + prepot.

Posted Aug 22, 2013I'll have to test it carefully. The addon is fairly simple and the Lei Shen mechanic shouldn't affect it since it doesn't pay any attention to it. During intermission, the addon should report the strenght the same as it was right before it, unless you have procs.
When you apply or refresh diseases, it will take a snapshot of your current stats and record it for each mob/unit hit. The addon is always showing your current stats vs. what is on your target or focus. In theory, it should be correct on Lei Shen. I'll see if there is possibly something else happening though.
