"Get out of the fire" addon

ok, we all know a major part of raiding getting out of the bleeping fire (void zone, whatever, ...).

Me, I still feel like I'm am spotting a lot of these effects way too late (like after I've already gotten 1 or 2 ticks on me and THEN I start moving). I blame tunnel vision of course. I use Floating Combat Text (y'know, Blizz's version) but these effects get lost in the sea all too often.

I there any addon to detect these specific debuffs and slap me in the face to "get the F*** out of the F****** fire"?

Similarly I'd like a more thorough warning on Eclipse proccing would be helpfull...

If I am suggested some general addon where I can add my own "events", is there any "list" of these debuffs i'd be adding?|||for the eclipse proc try Bang! Eclipse 2 let me look around for the fire mod ill let ya know when i find it.|||DBM will warn you on some things (Auriaya's void zones) and not others (KT's Shadow Fissures). It might be configurable, not sure. A few suggestions:

1) Does your UI encourage tunnel vision? To some degree, it's your responsibilty to know what's going on around you. I get that sometimes you overfocus... done it myself. I'm redoing my UI because I've come to realize the impact UI can have on situational awareness.

2) Filter your SCT. Mik's does this, Parrot too. Show the stuff that's important. This is basically a refinement of "how does your UI affect this?" but the fact is that you don't need every event scrolling around on your screen.

3) Power Auras can show you procs. Cattleya turned me on to this and it's quite nice for seeing a very obvious indicator of a proc.|||NeedToKnow

Either for procs. DeadlyBossMods or Big Wigs for Get Out Of The Fire.|||I installed Mik's and will start weeding out what's not important. I don't NEED to see all the tiny heals from a shadow priest's VE. Or the tiny mana-gains from VT and such...

Simply weeding those out will already do lots. And differentiating Buffs/Debuffs from incoming dmg should help as well.|||As an update: someone made it !
