SquawkAndAwe is a buff watcher/proc timer for Balance Druids based off of ShockAndAwe, an addon for Enhancement Shamen by Levva (EU Khadgar).
SquawkAndAwe provides a timer for:
Trinket procs and Use:
Eclipse procs, with differences based on which proc occurs
Eclipse cooldown
Omen of Clarity
Elune's Wrath
Wrath of Elune (gg Blizzard set bonus names)
Moonfire (and a smaller bar for each tick)
Insect Swarm (and a smaller bar for each tick)
Faerie Fire
Entangling Roots
Hibernate
Cyclone
Starfall
Typhoon
Force of Nature
Innervate
Barkskin
the GCD
Options exist to turn on/off each bar separately, allow text on the bars showing name and duration, whether to flash the Proc bars, tick bars for DoTs, and SquawkAndAwe integrates with SharedMedia to allow textures and fonts.
Updates:
v1.4.1 - Fixes Eclipse ICD refresh issue, and adds dual-ICD functionality.
v1.4.0 - Workaround for missing Eclipse entries in combat log, courtesy of Copialinex.
v1.3.3 - Fixed bug causing debuffs not to spawn when switching targets. Fixed bug involving disabling a bar that's currently active.
v1.3.2 - Oops: Applied Debuff/CC change to Abilities as well, and to be safe did similar things to Procs and Trinkets as a double-check. Also fixed a bug that would not let you turn off the Eclipse bar.
v1.3.1 - Fixed bug: attempt to index field 'CC'/'Debuffs' (a nil value), bumped TOC back to 30100.
v1.3 - Huge overhaul of the internal workings, mostly transparent but they do allow much easier integration of new timer bars. To go along with this, now includes bars for trinkets, cc, and some abilities. Specifically added this version are the T8 4-piece proc and the PvP set proc, Roots, Hibernate, Cyclone, Starfall, Typhoon, Force of Nature, Innervate, and Barkskin, as well as most Epic non-PvP trinkets and a couple rare ones. CC bars will track both your target and your focus, FF bar will trigger off of and track either FF or FF(F) from anyone on your target, and the majority of the other new bars should have good explanations in their options seconds (mouseover the options). Lastly, all but the Proc bars can be merged by group, i.e. you can have all of your chosen CC timers show up on the same bar.
Also, I've done more to try and fix the missing debuff bar issue. If you previously had problems with IS/FF not showing up when you cast them, let me know if this fixes it.
v1.2.1 - Fixed Moonfire/Eclipse bar collision, changed FF bar to accept any FF.
v1.2 - 3.1 compatability
v1.1.1 - Fixed GCD bar to remove locale dependency (forgot this one), added ability to show number of times Starfire has extended your Moonfire DoT, a few structural changes to prepare for adding more bars in the future
v1.1 - Finally fixed Omen bar, removed dependency on Localization files for functionality, seem to have also fixed the latency issue on target debuffs
v1.0.5 - Fixed encoding issue with Russian locale, added German locale
v1.0.4 - Fixed bug with French localization, added Russian and Taiwanese
V1.0.3 - Fixed bug with OoC bar
V1.0.2 - Added French Localization, fixed test bar bug
V1.0.1 - Added text options and ability to toggle icons.
-- Update note --
Unless something gets broken by a patch, I won't be updating specifically to bump the TOC file to the newest version. For example, 3.0.8 did nothing to change the functionality of SAA, so v1.1.1 will still work. You just need to check the "Load Out-of-Date Addons" box on the addon screen to get it working again.
ToDo:
Ordering of bars within group if not merged
Figure out how to plug in other bars optionally, including generating options for them.
Known issues:
- Checking for GCD is done off of Teleport: Moonglade. Beta premades do not have this spell (by default, you might be able to complete the quest for it), so SAA won't work for them without hacking the Lua. Second, if your Arcane school gets locked out, the GCD bar will be inaccurate (since lockouts just force a cooldown on locked spells). I'm looking into checking for GCD off of feral abilities instead, since the physical school can't be locked.
On a related note, development is based out of EJ. While I'll be checking here periodically, the easiest way to get a bug to my attention is to make a post here: http://elitistjerks.com/f32/t35477-squawkandawe/.
Are there known compatibility issues with other addons? i get these odd ghost bars that randomly appear and disappear and have no timer all the way at the bottom of the list and if i turn off some of the other timers the eclipse timers turn themselves off and wont come back until i completely delete the file with the settings for the mod.
An update to clean this up and maybe add an option for nature's grace would be nice. I use an error gatherer so i dont see them pop up on my screen when they happen but I notice everytime I log in I can scroll up my chat window and see a whole string of errors from S&A.
Originally posted by trclocke Does SquawkAndAwe show separate cooldown timers for both solar and lunar eclipse yet?
I'm wondering this also,or at least text on the cooldown bar like "Eclipse Cooldown (Lunar)". Sometimes my horrible short term memory gets the better of me.
These errors appear to be triggered when one of the timer bars is still active as I switch to my other spec. I was able to stop the errors by going back to boomkin and waiting for the timers to run out before switching.
Hopefully this helps isolate the problem.

As I mentioned in my other reply, it survived the transition just fine for me, and I assume by the fact that these are the only two reports I've gotten about it, that the issue is fairly isolated. If you can get me a copy of the exact error text, I can see what I can do. Note that "Your addons are causing too many errors" is not the text I'm looking for.
This is by far one from the most usefull add-ons for Moonkins! I really loved it and its a must have for raids but you guys must keep it updated!
All the time is out of dated for me Keep it up and help your favorite LAZER chicken to do the good job
Lately, I've been getting constant errors when a trinket procs/is procced
Code:
[20:19:15] Interface\AddOns\SquawkAndAwe\SquawkAndAwe.lua:2451: attempt to concatenate field 'itemname' (a nil value)
[C]: ?
Interface\AddOns\SquawkAndAwe\SquawkAndAwe.lua:2451: in function `OnUpdate'
Interface\AddOns\SquawkAndAwe\SquawkAndAwe.lua:1747: in function <Interface\AddOns\SquawkAndAwe\SquawkAndAwe.lua:1745>
And as of 3.2.2, the timer bars seem to work only when I don't have Moonfire applied to target. Can't confirm this at the moment but it sure is annoying when half of the time the bars are simply frozen and changing colour/text according to which eclipse I'm on, if even that sometimes.
A minor bug with this addon is that if I open up my spellbook while I have the addon turned on it causes the secondary blizzard action bars to always show even if the option is turned off in interface options. Nothing serious, but it does get a bit annoying to /reloadui every time I check something in my spellbook.
It seems like you forgot to remove the hello world code you started with: on login it spams my chatlog with the fact that it loaded. This is unnecessary and undesirable.
