Hermes - a new cooldown addon

[Alge]

To those asking about procs...

If the proc is aura-based then this information is already exposed by the WoW API (using UnitAura) without going to all the trouble of message passing that Hermes has to go to to provide cooldown information. Hermes has to pass messages because GetSpellCooldown does not accept a unitID as an argument. Non-aura based procs or similar information like Combo points, Holy Power or Soul Shards are also exposed by the API for anything with a unitID and so message passing is again overkill.

In the below screenshot of my party frames you can see that I am showing the Maelstrom Weapon aura (which is a proc) from my shaman slaves as well as the number of stacks. This is done using a custom LuaText in Pitbull but there are other ways of doing this for different unit frames I imagine. I will post the exact code I used when the servers are up in case anyone wants to replicate this functionality. It may also be worth keeping an eye on the addon unitDoodles which is currently in Alpha testing and may be easier to set up.
