I updated this addon to 3.1 because I thought someone would like it. It uses some old libraries and some weird stuff in the code, but it works. I am going to clean the code up later, when I have the time for it.
DPSMeter calculates your average damage per secong in combat, and displays it with a stylish and modern speedometer style. DPSMeter also records some data, like total damage, and the session's top hit. After combat, the digital display shows the final DPS of the whole combat.
DPSMeter automatically adjusts its scale every time your dps rises over the maximum, so the meter works fine if your DPS is 20 or 1200.
The damage meters included aren't fully accurate and can contain errors, but they are not the main thing this addon provides. They should be used for reference only.

Known issues:
The damage meters sometimes go mad when the group members change. This can be fixed by resetting the meters every time you kick/add group members. It doesn't affect to the other features, only to the output of the damage meter.
The damage meter has no resizing restriction, so you can resize it smaller than the bars. Will be fixed asap.
Sometimes if you are dead, and your dots or something like that hits an enemy, DPSMeter believes that you are still in combat. (should be fixed)
Some special items (Like Bombing quests) make DPSMeter go mad.

Or add the ability to have one alpha value for when in combat and one when you are not? That way it can be kept out of the way when you're not fighting. ^^
Oh man, I have to go back and keep watchin that speedometer!
Well that's a good idea, I'll make that during the weekend because it's a quite simple to do.

Updated to v1.1b. Fixed the checkboxes, the tooltip not showing, and some other little tweaks. Also the damage meter is on its way and it can be tested from the menu. (There is a warning about it being only beta, and it's there for a reason)
--The "Fixed a bug where other peoples' kills caused the meter to go mad." problem has evidenced itself in another way here. In a party of 2 people doing the Isle of Quel'Danas dailies. Finished The Air Strikes Must Continue quest where you bomb things for 15K+ damage. The meter did not appear to record that. But then hearthed back to home after turning in the quest and the DPSMeter switched to reading "11450" in the digital area and the analog numbers switched to several thousand as well.
It went back to normal after going in combat again. The other DPS meters I was running--StatBlocks/StatBlocks_DPS & a hacked version of FuBar_DPS that works in 2.4 (available at this link)--did not have this issue.
This is a slightly bigger issue that I am working on.

This is because I am not very familiar with dewdrop yet, and Im working on this one too.

--I have yet to see any tooltip data with "Tooltip stats, including:
- Average DPS for this session", etc. when mousing over the DPSMeter frame. Only thing can bring up is the option drop down list when right-clicking the frame. And that drop down list does not have display of any "tooltip stats" as an option.
This is a weird issue. Tooltip seems to work with all of my characters, but one. With the one the addon shows an error "unable to find ace library" or something. It seems to be caused bu SCT addon, so I might remove it from the addon until I find the problem.

--Finally, would be nice to see support for scrolling combat text mods besides SCT. Another extremely popular one is MikScrollingBattleText . Not to mention the default Blizzard one that many people use. And so on.
A very simple way to add support for any scrolling text addon out there is to use the LibSink-2.0 library. Just hook into the library and you won't have to code individual support for every addon out there.
I must look at this one, too.
Im currently working on these, and also a feature that count the damage of all party members. I know that there are many other and better addons for this, but with my old computer they all cause too much lag because they record so much data. DPSMeter will record only damage and healing, nothing more.

P.S. For the previous poster, CombatStats has been updated for 2.4 by the original author...just today .
Very nice replacement for Combat Stats. I was looking for somthing like this. My only gripe with it is the size. I whish there was a different (smaller) skin available. I know you can scale it but I mean one without the Speed Gauge type display, only with numbers.
I just posted a new version v1.02b (there were also a 1.01 but I had to remove it instantly because of a bug) that counts also healing during combat if wanted. If you update from old version to this, press "Enable/disable heals" in the dropdown menu if you are experiencing weird DPS results. (This is because the menu system is not ready and there are some flaws in it)

Shouldn't have needed both of them in WoW 2.3--only 1 was needed--but now they are both obsolete.
Heh seems that I had forgotten them. I'll add a new version today, and remove the unneeded files.

Pet damage is added to the DPS as well. It could be separated, though.
