A stack of bars (including Focus/CDs/Procs/Buffs) designed to help hunters optimize their DPS.
Description:
This is an addon that based on your current spec shows a frame with the most important abilities for this same spec. All information is shown as a bars that track these abilities. At some point (at procs mainly) bars may change the way they are tracking an ability (or even temporary change the ability they track) to inform you about those important moments.
Focus bar is improved with a mark that shows the minimum amount needed for the active spec's main ability. This way the player can always prepare to have enough focus for when the ability is off cooldown. Focus bar color changes at the amount that one Arcane Shot can be used and still enough focus will remain for spec's main ability. This optimizes DPS by showing what next shot should be the seconds before main ability cooldown expires - one additional Arcane Shot if there will remain enough focus or wait for the main ability cooldown and use the ability.

* Lock and Load - when "Lock and Load" procs "Explosive Shot" bar becomes red and swaps from cooldown to 2sec debuff so player doesn't overlap Explosive Shots' DOT duration
* Lock and Load - proc's internal cooldown, so player knows when to begin expecting next "Lock and Load"
