Lightbulb Another way of display Boss mods' abilities...

Hello everyone!

After I struggled (and I'm not done yet) with DXE, DBM, BW etc. to find the best ergonomic layout to display boss abilities on cooldown, this idea crossed my mind:

Boss abilities are spells.

We do monitor our own spells' cooldown and buffs/debuffs on a target with tones of addons such as SBF, ACB, Forte and so on.
But we also track our abilities' cooldown with addons like CoolLine and SexyCooldowns. Which allow us to have them all displayed as icons with a timer on a same timeline.

You see where I'm going now right?

What if, instead of having all those space wasting cooldown bars as in DXE. DBM and BW, we had one single nicely customised timeline with boss abilities symbolised by their spell icon?

Since I am no .lua coder, I'd like to know it it's technically possible?
Preferably using DXE as base library I guess.

Thank you for your thoughts and support. Let me know if I wasn't clear.
