some idea about battle rez addon

i use infCombatRess now, a good, simple,lightweight addon.
http://www.wowinterface.com/download...Ress.html#info

and i get some idea from Allez's alraidcd and bitbyte's saymassrez

send message to /ra or /p or /i when click the icon:
just like " available battle rez: 0 , next battle rez: 1:35" etc.

also, when someone use battle rez in group, addon will send massage to group channel: "battle rez: OOO to XXX"

is this possible? or some other lightweight addon can do this?

Certainly possible, but I wouldn't write such a thing, on principle. Consider boss mods. Today's boss mods just show timer bars and warning messages to you. You can turn off things that aren't relevant to your class or role. The original boss mods, back in vanilla, weren't like that that. They sent that information to the whole raid in the form of an endless stream of chat messages -- X in 30 seconds, X in 20 seconds, X in 15 seconds, X in 10 seconds, A on B, X in 5 seconds, X in 4 seconds, A on C, X in 3 seconds, X in 2 seconds, X in 1 second, X now!

What you're proposing is no different. When I'm playing a shaman, for example, I don't have a battle rez. Why do I want my chat box filled up with messages about battle rezzes? Those have nothing to do with me, and those messages are 100% spam to me.

People who do have a battle rez can use an addon that shows them -- just them -- that information if the default UI's display isn't enough. The rest of us don't need to know and don't care.

If I'm not mistaken, every class' combat res shows the cooldown for the entire raid group, and you could even show this cooldown for classes that don't have combat resses with a macro.

Yes, anyone who wants to see it can see it, locally, without the need to spam the whole raid with chat messages. But, players who don't have a battle rez probably don't care, unless they are a micromanaging raid leader.
