Thanks for clearing this up. That explains a lot. I knew that BigWigs had some filter, but I didn't know how it actually worked. I've changed my output accordingly.

Since Pull Warning shall display a warning as soon as an enemy is pulled but otherwise keep quite during combat, I need the event just before combat is entered. Of course this could be done with PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED only, but the event for an instant cast fires a little bit earlier and I also like the fact that I'm able to display the pullers name and the enemy.
But your question wasn't stupid at all, because it reminded me that I could actually unregister COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED during combat. I'm not sure how efficient UnregisterEvent() is, but for a longer combat and especially in a raid it will be much better than catching all those combat events and ignoring them.
The redesigned code seems to work fine solo and in a group. I should have a chance to test it in a raid this evening. Unless I notice any problems I'll probably update the addon tomorrow.
Thank again for the discussion.
