I have often had to build my own power aura setups for many specs that micromanage dots, debuffs or self (short term) buffs, due to the UI being dire for tracking such things.

Playing as afflilock hit this home during a 25 man run ( i usually do 10 mans). With 3 other affliction locks in the raid it was impossible with the sheer amount of debuffs and dots on the boss to figure out if my dots where up.

Absolutely. Generally, when I hear someone complain that they suck at ret, I equate it to not being able to keep trach of holy power and inquisition effectively, the rest of the rotation/priority isn't terribly difficult.

I play with ICEHud and TellMeWhen to put holy power and any significant buffs like inquisition and my major CDs center screen right underneath my character. The few times I've had to play on afriends comp or without those addons for whatever reason I start sucking, and sucking BAD. I find ret almost unplayable without addons, which is a huge problem with the class.

I've often been thinking that they could implement some kind of graphic effect on the character when inquisition is up. It could make the character glow or something. In a similar way that AW gives us wings or zealotry gives that red glow. It's hard to miss when those end.
