Thought I had, edit messed up a bit. At any rate, here's the solution such as it is.

Textured frame,

-- Rage flash frame
local f = CreateFrame("Frame","rageFrame",WorldFrame);
f:SetFrameStrata("BACKGROUND");
f:SetClampedToScreen(true)
f:SetAllPoints(UIParent)
local t = f:CreateTexture(nil,"BACKGROUND");
t:SetTexture("Interface\\AddOns\\TankScripts\\Textures\\rage.tga");
t:SetAlpha(0.5);
t:SetBlendMode("ADD");
t:SetVertexColor(1, 0.1, 0.1);
t:SetAllPoints(frame);
f.texture = t;
f:SetPoint("CENTER",0,0);
f:Hide();

Then trap the UNIT_POWER event to start the flashing when over 60 rage and stop it when under or not a rage user.

    if (event=="UNIT_POWER") then
        if(UnitPowerType("player")==1 and TS_SAVAGE=="on") then
            if(UnitPower("player")>=60) then
                if (UIFrameIsFlashing(f)) then
                --    f.fadeInTime = 0.4;
                --    f.fadeOutTime = 0.6;
                --    f.flashInHoldTime = 1;
                else
                    UIFrameFlash(f, 0.5, 0.5, -1);
                end
            else
                if (UIFrameIsFlashing(f)) then
                    UIFrameFlashStop(f);
                end
            end
        else
            if (UIFrameIsFlashing(f)) then
                UIFrameFlashStop(f);
            end
        end
    end

The upshot of that is a flashing full screen transparent texture when I'm over 60 rage. The intent in this case was to alert me when I was ready to use Savage Defense.

Sure thing, hope its of use to someone. I find the resulting add-on very nifty for Druid tanking. Granted there are a ton of configurable aura add-ons out there, but I like to keep things simple and lightweight.
