Well if you can do something simple to make your life easier why would you not do it? Sure I can parallel park but if I had one of those fancy luxury cars that do it for you I'd let it all day long.
None of those automate anything like going from a manual stick to automatic. They just give you the information needed cleanly so you know what gear to shift into next.

The four elements, like man alone, are weak. But together they form the strong fifth element: Boron.
I have found these WeakAura's to be amazingly helpful. On my bear i didn't really have to worry about much, but with monk there are a lot of short cooldowns that NEED to be used almost ON CD. as well as keeping your shuffle up. According to WoL i went from around 60% uptime on shuffle to 89.8% uptime, just from using some weakauras to track when shuffle had a few seconds left on it and i needed up refresh. Sure it might not be nessesary for it, but having the info right there in front of you, just reminding you, means you don't have to think about that one thing at all, until that icon pops up with a friendly reminder.
While not thinking about shuffle uptime, you can focus on Guard uptime, or Zen Sphere, or any other CD's you really want to keep going. Or god forbid actually worrying about boss mechanics lol.
I've been pretty happy with this just for the sake of making it real obvious when you hit Mod/Heavy stagger.

This is a great thread. I'm a total newbie with this addon so it's very useful.
Two questions I hope someone can answer:
Does Monk have any Blizzard Power Auras? If so, what are they/when do they show up?
Also (and sorry for the total newb question), is there a way to turn off the Blizzard native Power Auras?
Thanks!
BrM only have one ability that reacts to something and that is Touch of Death when it becomes available, and even then it's just the hotkey lighting up. By default we have no aura's that surround the character for any reason.
Yes you can turn off the Blizz PA's but I'm drawing a blank exactly where the option is will have to look through the UI later. For Monk it shouldn't be an issue. Actually our lack of reactive UI feedback are why WA's are such a big help, even stagger is just represented by a dot debuff by default.

Yeah, as said above, I had actually seen a screenshot of what looked like some kind of Blizz PA from Stagger, but I've never seen it myself (possibly because I've yet to get to the level of stagger required for it to show up?). But it may have been custom so I'm not really sure.
Anyway, thanks for your feedback.
I cant even tell how much better my tanking got when i now have weakauras for stagger, shuffle, eb and guard. Thanks all for the awesome scripts.
Does everyone recommend these above or the ones on this page:

Also, how can you edit features of WA in case you don't like the preset settings of an imported aura? Say for example if it disappears when not in combat or something like that.
I'm using this setup and loving it, just converted over to weak auras from power auras, the one thing that I have added is a Guard Tracker to show me when I have Guard up (I find it important to know so I can call for healer CD's if it's down and I don't have EB stacks available) one thing that I can't seem to achieve is getting the aura to show the value of the remaining Guard, is this possible and can anyone tell me how to do this as I have tried and failed, I basically just altered the Stagger tracker in the attempt to get it to replicate the value but with no success.

Just a text one, easy to modify of course.

My final Stagger update
Simple Stagger bar, checks for color, Stagger amount, time remaining and Icon. Repositioned the bar in the middle of the screen since many ppl reported they could not see the bar in their UI.
