Hope that helps.

EDIT. I would like to figure out the code for shortening names with abbreviations though"

death bringer saurfang would be d.b.saurfang..
loot crazed diver would be l.c.diver...and so on..

I was able to do this with shadowed unit frames, however I have moved to stuff and would like to impiment this back if possible.
