I understand. It was more of a half-ass pseudo code then anything else and I wasn't able to actually test anything in game until about 30 minutes ago.

  2.   lib.gen_mirrorcb = function(f)
  3.     for _, bar in pairs({'MirrorTimer1','MirrorTimer2','MirrorTimer3','TimerTrackerTimer1','TimerTrackerTimer2','TimerTrackerTimer3'}) do   
  4.       for i, region in pairs({_G[bar]:GetRegions()}) do
  5.         if (region.GetTexture and region:GetTexture() == 'SolidTexture') then
  6.           region:Hide()
  7.         end
  8.       end
  9.       _G[bar..'Border']:Hide()
  10.       _G[bar]:SetParent(UIParent)
  11.       _G[bar]:SetScale(1)
  12.       _G[bar]:SetHeight(16)
  13.       _G[bar]:SetWidth(280)
  14.       _G[bar]:SetBackdropColor(.1,.1,.1)
  15.       _G[bar..'Background'] = _G[bar]:CreateTexture(bar..'Background', 'BACKGROUND', _G[bar])
  16.       _G[bar..'Background']:SetTexture(cfg.statusbar_texture)
  17.       _G[bar..'Background']:SetAllPoints(bar)
  18.       _G[bar..'Background']:SetVertexColor(.15,.15,.15,.75)
  19.       _G[bar..'Text']:SetFont(cfg.font, 14, "THINOUTLINE")
  20.       _G[bar..'Text']:ClearAllPoints()
  21.       _G[bar..'Text']:SetPoint('CENTER', MirrorTimer1StatusBar, 0, 1)
  22.       _G[bar..'StatusBar']:SetAllPoints(_G[bar])
  23.       --glowing borders
  24.       local h = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, _G[bar])
  25.       h:SetFrameLevel(0)
  26.       h:SetPoint("TOPLEFT",-5,5)
  27.       h:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT",5,-5)
  28.       lib.gen_backdrop(h)
  29.     end
  30.   end

The above code actually breaks the raid frames (odd?). I tested it a few times typing it out myself and directly copying and pasting it in. Also, I just saw /framestack report up to TimerTrackerTimer5 (only one bar total was actually visible) but, my main concern was on line 21. MirrorTimer uses the MirrorTimerStatusBar but TimerTrackerTimer uses TimerTrackerTimerStatusBar. I am assuming that some modification needs to be done to line 21 and I'll have to try it later tonight. I know you just said it helps to try your own code first but, I won't be able to for several hours and I just wanted to post this in case anyone who might know the answer shows up before I am able to test it out. =)

Here is what I would test:
Lua Code:
  1. _G[bar..'Text']:ClearAllPoints()
  2.            If MirrorTimer1 == true Or MirrorTimer2 == true Or MirrorTimer3 == true Then
  3.                 _G[bar..'Text']:SetPoint('CENTER', MirrorTimer1StatusBar, 0, 1)
  4.           Else
  5.                 _G[bar..'Text']:SetPoint('CENTER', TimerTracker1StatusBar, 0, 1)
  6.           End
  7.       _G[bar..'StatusBar']:SetAllPoints(_G[bar])
