Word of caution regarding bumping threads:

On almost all of the forums that I am an active poster on, constantly bumping your own threads over and over tends to annoy both users and moderators/admins. Users then complain to the forum moderators and the thread in question gets locked. In addition the bumper of said thread often gets a warning, suspension or an outright ban.

In other words: Do not repeatly bump your own (or other's) threads or you risk the wrath of the mods.

Regarding trying to track enemy player cooldowns:

Trying to track enemy player cooldowns is a royal pain in the a**. Unlike mob CDs, with players you have various talents that have to taken into consideration. These talents will reduce or in some cases eliminate the CD in question. Then you have talents like Cold Snap or Preparation while they have long CD in themselves, totally reset other spell/skill CDs allowing your opponent to WTF pwn you and rendering CD tracking useless. However not all players will take these types of talents and the author of such a mod would have to take ALL of these scenarios into consideration while coded this type of mod. Most good PvPers know this and develop the skills to see when things like Earth Shock, Ice Block, Cold Snap, comes into play and use reflexes and skills gained through many a death (normally their own deaths) to counter them rather than relying on a mod that can be easily broken/rendered useless to "assist" them.
