WitchHunt
WitchHunt is a Spell Alert addon.
It will warn you when someone is casting a spell or gains an ability.
Example: Ammo begins to cast Powers of Death
WitchHunt has gained several new features in 2.4 including filtering options on a per spell/ability basis and coloring options for the messages.
You can configure WitchHunt through: Esc -> Interface Options -> AddOns
Or open the configuration with /wh or /witchhunt
Example of color config:

Enjoy.

Posted May 10, 2013I wrote a patch to make it work with 5.2. Plus I added a feature that allows the user to toggle tis off in BGs and arenas. I usually use this addon to alert me when the opposing faction is nearby in the world, so being able to have it off in bgs and arenas makes sense to me.

Posted Jun 29, 2011Open WitchHunt\WitchHunt.lua and change line 719 to
function WitchHunt:COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED(event, timestamp, eventType, hidecaster, srcGUID, srcName, srcFlags, srcRaidFlags, dstGUID, dstName, dstFlags, dstRaidFlags, spellID, spellName, spellSchool, eID, eName)
The fix is to add srcRaidFlags and dstRaidFlags.

i've actually been using the addon ever since. works fine for me. just cant move the frame when the output is set for witchhunt output frame which isnt a big deal. wish there was a way to set the range of spell detection tho. its too far. i can see spells from people more than 40 yards away which is kinda of needless if theyre way over no where near me.
