ControlFreak is a small crowd control assist addon. It provides a small frame for fast click-casting of CC spells onto the player's focus target. It also provides visual cues of the focus's status and audio cues of CC breaks.
ControlFreak is designed to be an "install and go" addon for all classes with sustainable CC spells, but it also provides direct access to edit the macro used by the frame for players that want to extend it's functionality.
For users who want a macro instead of clicking on the frame, put this code into a new macro and drop it in your actionbar:
/click ControlFreakFrame

Optional Files - ControlFreak
Sorry, there are currently no optional files available.
I really like this addon. I haven't sheeped with my mage for awhile but when I tried with the new version, it doesn't work. I can right click and get options and left click and get the ready but when it's in range and I click, nothing. unless they changed the script code again
edit: lol. it's Polymorph(Pig) now. works fine

The taint error during use is due to using the "/click ControlFreakFrame" macro. As of WoW 2.4.3, you can no longer use "/click" in a macro without tainting (a Blizzard bug). Tekkub needs to remove the macro "/click" functionality (or put up a warning about it) until Blizzard fixes the bug.
Use any other focus target macro without "/click" in it or just click the frame with the cursor. Both will work without issues.
Isn't it possible to call the function click fires with a script in a macro?
When I get focus of a NPC to shackle/sheep sometimes, the group will switch NPCs for me to shackle/sheep. I target new NPC and set focus with ControlFreak, when I do the sheep/shackle, its the prior target not the current one that gets sheeped/shackled.
Tekkub, UnitDebuff in the beta now returns expiration time instead of time left. To make ControlFreak indicate the correct time remaining you should change line 260 to

I noticed the LibDataBroker folder is empty, so I'm guessing that might have something to do with it.
The current 2.4.3.9-Beta release here includes all needed files including LibDataBroker-1.1.lua; no more errors will occur at logon.

"...that causes problems" is not any help. What problems? As listed by the author on the first page: Please report all bugs and feature requests to my Google Code tracker. And try to provide more info than "it causes problems" .
Originally posted by Oakayam I got the missing library but it totally breaks all my ace based addons ( fubar, pitbull, prat, etc ) so I'm a sad panda. .

I notice trinityactionbutton mentioned there, but I get the same error with bongos. Is it a problem with my actionbar addons perhaps?

Yeah I got the same error too.
I downloaded Picofriends another Tekkub mod which used it and copy/pasted the libdatabroker folder from there (which is not empty). No errors now
