EventHorizon 
Bad news, everyone: I quit WoW, my account expires on August 11th, and unfortunately Taroven quit too. Unless someone takes over, this addon is officially abandoned. So tick that "Load out of date AddOns" check box and hope for the best!
I just wanted to say thanks for using my AddOns and for all the support, feedback, bug reports, and kind words. Very much appreciated. 
Bye!
Description
Displays timer bars for you most important abilities' target debuffs (including DoT ticks), cooldowns, and player buffs. All bars share a common time scale to make it easier to plan the next casts in your rotation.
Currently supported classes are Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin (Retribution), Priest (Shadow), Rogue, Shaman (Elemental) and Warlock.
Dezzimal was kind enough to put a video on youtube, demonstrating and explaining the addon. Edit: I just found another video showing the AddOn on a Destru Warlock.
Here's what it looks like in action on a Shadow Priest (at 1 FPS ):
The big white line is the current time. Future events are on the right side, past events on the left. So as time goes by, the events scroll from right to left.
The green bars are your cast bars. They use exactly the same times that your normal cast bar would display, with all haste modifiers applied.
You can also see cooldowns, DoTs, and their ticks (predicted in the future, and from the combat log in the past).
The white lines that appear before the cast times are the times when you press the button (send the cast message to the server). The difference between this line and the start of the cast is your lag.
Settings
There's no options GUI, and there won't be.
You can move the frame around by dragging this little handle in the upper right corner.
You can toggle the main frame with /eventhorizon or /ehz.
If you want to change anything else, you have to edit the config.lua files. You can open these files in any text editor, for example notepad.
We try to keep these files clean and well-documented. (Comments start with "--".) If an option is not as clear as it should be, please let us know.
Let's say you've changed some settings. When a new version comes out, you'd have to manually merge the config.lua file. To prevent this, you can create a file named EventHorizon/myconfig.lua. If present, this file will be read after config.lua, thus overwriting the settings in config.lua. Here's my myconfig.lua:
local config = EventHorizon.config -- <-always keep this as the first line
config.bgcolor = {0,0,0,0.3}
config.bordercolor = {0,0,0,0.3}
config.gcdColor = {.5,.5,.5,.3}
config.future = 15
config.width = 150*(15+3)/(9+3)
config.iconborder = nil
FAQ
How can I change the colors for bars?
At the moment you can't. It's one of the features planned for v1.0.
What about trinkets?
I don't think that tracking trinket procs is a useful feature. EventHorizon is designed to present you with information relevant to decision-making. Sure, you could occasionally refresh a DoT when a trinket buff is about to fade. But the overall gain in DPS (assuming there even is one!) would be very small. So I don't think it's worth cluttering the interface with two more bars.
That being said, it's already possible to track the proc spells from trinkets. For an example look at the Sundial of the Exiled in the comments of the Priest module.
Notes
The addon is intended for level 80 raid chars. While leveling your rotation doesn't really matter anyways, mobs just die too fast.
If you want to help us develop and fine-tune the existing modules, please contact me via PM.
When you report a bug, please include as much relevant information as possible. (Class/spec/how to reproduce/etc) Get an addon like Bugsack for copypasteable error messages. If your bug report is very long, please send it as a PM.
If you have suggestions/feedback feel free to leave a comment.
Credits
Taroven for adding the Druid, Warlock, and Rogue modules, being helpful on IRC and for pushing me to add more features.
Dezzimal for the nice video.
Psychosomatic for the Paladin module.
Binkenstein for helping me with the Elemental module.

 I've actually got Warrior and DK modules written up on my local copy, it's just a matter of refining them before they're released. EventHorizon on a Prot Warrior is distractingly cool. |

Hi,
first of all great addon, especially because it's much easier to foresee, which Spell should be casted next compared to the other DoT/CD-Addons. But I have one question. I'm a shadowpriest and I think it might be helpful to show the last (or maybe all) ticks of Mindflay like the Global CD on the whole screen. As all the other spells, I'm able to cast, share their CD with the Global CD, it's easy to foresee, when the cast ends and choose the next Spell, cause the Global-CD-Line is shown on the whole screen. But if I cast mindflay, it's harder to compare the castbars and so I have to choose, which spell to cast, at the very end of the cast and therefore in a short period of time. If the ticks of mindflay were shown as a line all over the screen, I would be able to make my choice at the beginning of the mindflay cast and so would be able to foresee the end of the cast in comparison with the other CDs/DoTs much earlier. So, for example, if there is any chance to enlarge the tick-lines of Mindflay, I would be very happy to know about it. thanking you in anticipation Koelschy P.S.: I hope you understand my request...English is not my mother language and my years at school are decades ago  |

^^ Alright, thanks for the info!
Hey! Love the addon..really helped my DPS. But I did something. In my haste to get the Bars out of the way while PvPing, I put the addon to far to the right, making some of the right side of the addon to go off my screen. The right side is also the side that has the box that allows you to move the addon.. I've tried everything to reset it..uninstalling, going in and out of windows mode, changing my UI size..everything.. but I just can't get the addon to move. Is there anyway I can fix this? Maybe adding a feature to be able to move the addon with both corners? Thanks, Zoc

Hi, I'd like to add Magma totem to the shown timers - got the spell ID etc and added the info in the shaman file ok. However no time bar is shown
 its fine if the individual ticks don't show I'd just like the time bar to be there so I know when its getting close to refresh time - thanks for a great add on |
