Misdirect Manager

WARNING: 1.04 IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ANY PREVIOUS VERSION

My addon is called Misdirect Manager, and it does exactly what it says. It centralizes the misdirect responsibilities to a single person (I.E. the misdirect manager). Each hunter needs to have the addon installed, but it's low impact and easy to use.

The Misdirect Manager can queue up multiple misdirects for hunters to carry out, and the raid leader can request emergency misdirects that are carried out immediately. The Misdirect Manager does not have to be a hunter, and the raid leader does not have to have Misdirect Manager installed.

The addon enables/disables by itself and all commands/actions are available in the GUI, so no slash commands are currently available. In the next couple of weeks, I'll be adding an options frame that will be accessed through /mdm or /misdirectmanager

This is beta, so please notify me of any bugs you come across. I also request that you don't publish this addon anywhere else until I get the full release out, which won't be ready for a while.
