Does the addon take in to account the fact that using Heroic Throw resets both of your swing timers to zero? I do use it, but generally only in situations where I'm solidly of melee range, or I am approaching/leaving a target. If I am on-target for a long time, I watch my swing timers and try to hit it as soon as both weapons have under a half-second or so invested in the upcoing swing.
Looks great! I am installing it now, and will let you know my experiences while playing around with it. | I did not know that - if that is the case, it's probably not worth using. Of couse, I'd like to see this claim substantiated, as this is the first I've heard of it.

| | Tanking "Cycle" and Priorities - Elitist Jerks
This one doesn't really need a whole lot of testing done - go whack on a dummy, use Heroic Throw, and watch your swings.
[edit] It's not that it's not worth using, it's that it's more situational. I use it while I'm in the vortex on Malygos, and I'm out of range for regular melee attacks. I use it when I'm hiding behind an iceblock on Sapphiron. I use it whenever I'm approaching a target, and I know the tank has at least 2 solid threat abilities on the Big Ugly (Heroic Throw has a 150% damage>threat modifier, with a good amount of damage attached. =D)
It seems like it'd be an absolute b**** of a deal to model, so I'd say drop it from the recommended, and remember to use it whenever it makes sense.

I loaded FuryMonitor, it looks great. But I have something want to figure out,
1. when I have enough rage and both BT and WW have CD, BT is always in the window before WW, how can I reverse it? at this point is it WW should have the priority?
2. If use Glyph of Whirlwind, the cd will be 8 secs, should I modify FuryMonitor.Abilities.lua to update?

Sometime I need to find a way to present the algorithm and open it for discussion, as I am not certain I know enough about the problem. It's almost like something that calls for a financial mathematics major.
If I had to describe it in words right now, how it works roughly is
((ability damage)/(cooldown))*(time)
Where "time" is the period for which the ability is active and there is no instant (of time) where the GCD is not active for a given sequence of abilities.
The real purpose of the mod is to manage GCDs, so I think of it as "maximizing average DPS for the period of time being managed".
2. If use Glyph of Whirlwind, the cd will be 8 secs, should I modify FuryMonitor.Abilities.lua to update? | You can if you want, but it will pick up on the eight second cooldown after the first time you use the ability (basically it will assume that the shortest cooldown seen that is longer than the gcd is the correct cooldown for the ability). Glyphs are on my todo list.

Excellent addon Korlong, great job!
I did have one request if you are taking them... I'd love there to be an option that can have the current attack power bar be either that or simple rage bar, as I hate looking up to the top left corner of the screen as it takes my eyes of combat, and I just like to have everything centralised. Either that, or as a seperate plugin that we can just enable via a slash command or editing the .toc.
You could even adapt the rage bar if you wanted, maybe colour it in segments based on your current line up of skills to show which you'll have rage for and which you won't, which would make it very handy and helpful when considering a rage dump such as Heroic Strike.

There are little rage bars on top of the skills, although I believe there may be some issues with their configuration options.

Bug: When switching between Fury and Prot to do some "dirty work", I notice that I am unindated with an error, to the point of necessitating disabling the addon. While I of course would not use the monitor for Prot work, this is rather annoying. The particular is that I get an error message ("Localization of One Handed Weapon Specialization failed", or something to that effect), repeatedly spammed to my chat box, about 20-30+ times per second. If it decided to report the error once and then left me alone, that'd be totally cool.
Also, a toggle for stance would be great, so if I switch to Arms or Prot, it fades to 0 opacity.
After reading your response on how the cooldowns work, I would also recommend another implementation - either have the addon grab the abilities' cooldowns from the spellbook, or grab the cooldown each time an ability is used. Reason being is that if it saves the absolute shortest cooldown, and this value persists through sessions, this is heavily skewed by Haste buffs, such as heroism / bloodlust / trinkets / the new T8 set bonus / etc.

["One-Handed Weapon Specialization"]= "One-Handed Weapon Specialization",
in the Talent section of the file FuryMonitor.localization.lua seems to correct the issue... no idea why it's erroring out to start with, but that makes it stop

If it decided to report the error once and then left me alone, that'd be totally cool. | Sorry about that. Technically you should never see any localization errors as they should all be fixed during development. It's a case of I never test it with different specs, as that would get prohibitively expensive. At least you know what is wrong, right? Now for the news you won't like: I've quit the game (at least for a while) for personal reasons. FuryMonitor was built from the ground up and has no dependencies, so I see no reason why it shouldn't continue to work for a long time.
For those of you clamoring for Arms support, obviously I'm not going to do it as the motivation is no longer there. However, the license for the mod is such that anyone can grab it and run with it if they want to. So if anyone feels up to it, you have my blessing to do so.
Obviously this release is untested as I would have to install the patch to do so. Let me know if there are any problems, however I believe it should work fine as these are minor changes.
