I am Etherwind of US-Darkspear and have taken over development of the original facemelter and pushed it into the current age. This is an addon that deals with rotations for shadow priests. This more helps the novice to become a better dps machine and to better manage their spells. Can you get more dps if you are a number cruncher? Probably if you manage manually and have proper timing but the general wow populace need to learn these things. This addon does exactly that.
Finalizing the Face Melter one project with a few more bug fix versions as I am developing Face Melter 2! The new code will be able to handle more changes and will add MANY new features including latency compensation, mind flay clipping support, and movement compensation on spells for maximum dps, and even more past this small list. I will also allow me to fix things without checking a obscene amount of code as well as streamlining it and reducing bloat. Once a public Alpha is available I will be posting it to the optional files section.
Face Melter 2 is now dubbed Face Melter Zwei and features a new visual design for the suggester frame as well as support for many new features. The first release test alpha is scheduled for 2 weeks from now. Among the added features are cooldown indicators (covering Shadowfiend, Dispersion, and Inner Focus), Record keeping for the last two prior spells casted indicated by the new GUI. Latency, cast time, and GCD compensation and cast planning. Turn off SW: D and Mind Blast completely or only have them used in certain conditions (ie. Mind Blast used unless under Heroism/Bloodlust or SW: D only used when target is under a certain percentage or while moving). Support for primary and secondary specs. And many more things planned, also I applied for a Cataclysm Beta Key to plan a Cataclysm release.

I am working on trying to update this to work on 4.0.1/Cata. Snagged it on Tuesday and started playing with it on a lark.
I took the current release version (3.333) and heavily modified it for the following:
Looking to add support for:
Wishlist of future features:
Additional to-do list (based on: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...26580975&sid=1) - In progress
I can review whatever anyone else has done to polish this up, but this one is working just fine for me, and I'm more than willing to share.

probably event polling... as this addon polls for inventory of the player to determine which spell to cast. So that it knows the length of time of a certain debuff. The new one is in development but is still a little off from even a public alpha but it DOES NOT need to poll the player's inventory as it gets Its information from the spell directly and since the spell is modified prior in the tooltip by default in blizzard UI it would change the whole scenario.
I will work harder on the new one and see if I can finish a public alpha in the near future. I foresaw an issue with Its coding but the only solution was a complete and total rewrite. I was taking my time in it but Blizzard just changed the rules of the game.

Facemelter is broken with the new patch. Not sure what it is because i dont do LUA code :S but the icons are all there, its just whenever i cast say VT the icon doesn't switch over to the next spell that should be cast.

Sorry..
I have been a bit sidetracked on many different things both in real life and running my guild so it is setting me back on development of the next version. However, I am also developing at the same time a total revamp of the code to a fresh restart in the way I would like the project to go. I will post a public alpha of this new version Face Melter 2 sometime after I code some fixes to the current version. However due to the age of the code in the current facemelter additional coverage of things requires more and more code, essentially bloating it and creating more rooms for flaw and less ability to add more features as all this is jury rigged to make it work as well as can be.

Re: Timings for VT, and DP are out
I noticed the timings were out with VT, and DP. It seemed less of an issue the higher the haste so I had a look at the coding. I don't know anything about programming or scripting but just looked for what made sense. I started by check out your haste calculations compared to what I could find on the internet and it seemed to match what I found there so that probably wasn't the issue. Eventually I found the following lines of code.
FaceMelter.vamptouchDuration = (vamptouchDuration - vamptouchCastTimer) - GCD FaceMelter.devouringDuration = (devouringDuration/FaceMelter.hasteModifier) - GCD First line you are telling it to take the GCD off the duration? But you've already told it to take the cast time off, so now it's reducing the duration by the cast time, and GCD so twice as much as it needs to. Second line your also telling it to take the GCD time off the duration but DP is an instant cast spell and GDC does not effect the duration. I changed the code to what is below which has removed the GCD from the duration equation of those two spells and tested it on the dummies and it seems to be working perfectly. I have not tested this under BL yet, but I'm hoping it's fixed. FaceMelter.vamptouchDuration = (vamptouchDuration - vamptouchCastTimer) FaceMelter.devouringDuration = (devouringDuration/FaceMelter.hasteModifier) Update 1: VT and DP timings seem to be correct now prior to Blood Lust. VT seems to work fine under Blood Lust, but DP seems to be coming up a couple of seconds after the dot has dropped off the target. Will try and get some more testing done...unfortunately only tested during a Heroic so boss didn't last long enough to get several durations going. Update 2: Did some testing with a Shaman on the dummies and VT is perfect now as far as I can tell. DP is definitely dropping off the target a MF or 2 before FM is suggesting to cast again during Blood Lust but works perfectly without it. I thought it might have been an issue with the priority and the way it was called through GCD times because at least once is suggested pushed DP back up the que and suggested MF over DP even though DP was a higher priority (only did this under bloodlust) so I tried increasing it to 2, and VT to 1 but it still suggested casting DP a couple of seconds after it dropped off.
