For instance if your slave is casting a spell with a 3sec cast time have a countdown on your master for 3sec so you know when to cast the next spell in rotation. Also it seems cleaner on your screen to have a basic 00:00:00 clock than a bunch of cooldown bars. I'd write it myself if I knew how.
Why, hello there new person and welcome to the forum.

The first thought that comes to mind is that because of lag and latency that these timers would not be
accurate. Add-ons cannot communicate outside of the game so something like this is most likely bound to an
in-game channel like JAMBA uses. Multiboxers already have enough on their plate to deal with and 10 more
timers on the screen would probably be a giant distraction or they would never ever get looked at. People
would probably die standing in fire while they're busy staring at these timers to get the next keypress perfect.

Perhaps I'm visualizing your idea incorrectly, but it brings me to my next point...

Have you ever seen videos of any player, solo or multiboxing, that have scrolling combat text on their screen at
the default 100mph? People don't read that. That default speed has to be turned way down and even then it's
still ignored. I heavily raided from Ulduar to ICC and I had that scrolling combat text on my screen and I rarely
ever looked at those numbers because they were unimportant and out of sight. I eventually disabled them
because it was much easier to see the big yellow default numbers in my face. I am trying to bring this back
though on my boxing teams because it looks snazzy.
