Thank CaptWhyNot. I really love this addon!

screenies :(

I haven't found any working DoT timers that I like better, so I did some research and figured out a minor fix to the timers in DotDotDot. Unfortunately, it still gets confused as to who's dots are who's (for example, showing me a warlock's dots sometimes). Anyway, apparently Blizzard changed the UnitDebuff function such that the time returned is now the end time and not the time left. To reflect this change, replace the function DotDotDot:UpdateDebuffs(unit) in the current r74120.11 version of DotDotDot's core.lua with the following:
function DotDotDot:UpdateDebuffs(unit)
self = DotDotDot
if (UnitExists(unit)) then
local currentTime = GetTime()
for num = 1, 40 do
local name, _, texture, applications, _, duration, endTime, timeLeft
name, _, texture, applications, _, duration, endTime = UnitDebuff(unit, num)
if (duration) then
if (self.shortcode[name]) then
timeLeft = endTime - currentTime
guid = (UnitGUID(unit) .. "-" .. self.shortcode[name])
if unit == "target" then
self:ShowCandyBar(self.shortcode[name].." - "..(UnitName(unit) or ""), guid, timeLeft, BS:GetSpellIcon(name), true, self.db.profile.highcolor)
else
self:ShowCandyBar(self.shortcode[name].." - "..(UnitName(unit) or ""), guid, timeLeft, BS:GetSpellIcon(name), false, self.db.profile.basecolor)
end
end
end
end
end
end

Or, just implement this list of changes:
line 4 (391 in core.lua): new line "local currentTime = GetTime()" added
line 6 (393): "endTime," inserted as next to last variable
line 7 (394): "timeLeft" replaced by "endTime"
line 10 (397): new line "timeLeft = endTime - currentTime" added

Think I've fixed the reporting of other players' dots too. Found that there were some new fields added to the UnitDebuff function (such as isMine) (see http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=10043170854&sid=1 for a full description of 3.0.2 API changes). So, to fix DotDotDot r74120.11, replace the function DotDotDot:UpdateDebuffs(unit) in core.lua with the following:
function DotDotDot:UpdateDebuffs(unit)
self = DotDotDot
if (UnitExists(unit)) then
for num = 1, 40 do
local name, rank, icon, count, debuffType, duration, expirationTime, isMine, isStealable = UnitDebuff(unit, num)
if (isMine) then
if (duration) then
if (self.shortcode[name]) then
local guid = (UnitGUID(unit) .. "-" .. self.shortcode[name])
local timeLeft = expirationTime - GetTime()
if unit == "target" then
self:ShowCandyBar(self.shortcode[name].." - "..(UnitName(unit) or ""), guid, timeLeft, BS:GetSpellIcon(name), true, self.db.profile.highcolor)
else
self:ShowCandyBar(self.shortcode[name].." - "..(UnitName(unit) or ""), guid, timeLeft, BS:GetSpellIcon(name), false, self.db.profile.basecolor)
end
end
end
end
end
end
end

Or, implement this list of changes (to the original r74120.11 core.lua):
line 392: replace line with "local name, rank, icon, count, debuffType, duration, expirationTime, isMine, isStealable = UnitDebuff(unit, num)"
line 393: replace line with "if (isMine) then"
line 394: "timeLeft" replaced by "endTime"
line 396: insert prefix "local "
line 397: add new line "local timeLeft = expirationTime - GetTime()"
line 405: add new line "end"

Just check that out and it works great. Cheers CaptWhyNot, it's great to have one of my favorite addons back again!
/salute

My pleasure. It's one of my favorites, too. Hopefully we'll get an official update soon.

Also, just noticed that I have an extra line change listed in my previous post. The change for line 394 should be ignored as it got left in the list by accident from my fist post (but the full function is correct).

same here issues with the timer not working since patch 3.0 fellhounds raise havoc with it and it sticks on a continous count down as with all spells it tracks

As also, tried to replace it already, but couldn't find any good competitor :(

indeed , i'd be nice if we get a reply if there is a new version or shoild i work on config-ing quartz timers or using some random gay dot timer :<

Amen to that, new version pretty please! :)

Any chance on a working 3.0.2 version? Its heavily bugged and ive been using ur dot timer since forever <3
