Version 1.13 contains a new "Add Spell" feature. This can be accessed through the spell settings tab in Watcher config. Ultimately, this adds universal support for all classes. Though I do hope to add proper default support for all classes as I get more time.
The spell settings are currently open for any feedback, though I hope they are quite straight forward in their current form. I don't think there is any spell in the game that cannot be properly modeled in this current arrangement. If the spell you wish to model is not in the spellbook you may need to use the spell's "Spell ID" instead. This is a number string which can be found using services like wowhead. The ID is the number located in the URL for the spell's page.
Several people have asked if it is possible to set the addon to link spells to a certain keybind when they are prioritised to be used. Unfortunately, this is not possible due to restrictions with the WOW API.
Introduction
Watcher is a DPS improvement addon. Its goal to provide useful and intelligent information in order to boost DPS.
Currently, full support is limited to Hunter, Warriors and Paladins, Feral Druid and Shadow Priest with other classes added when I get the chance. However, if you would like the addon ported to your class sooner any useful information related to your classes attacks and the priority of the attacks is very welcome. Ideally, this would be a list of the spells and their type used by the class to do damage and this would be in the form of a priority rated list. If you cannot wait it is also possible to add spells yourself by going to the Spell Settings option in the configuration menu.
Description
Through the use of a priority table for attacks, Watcher times cooldowns and dots to provide information on which attack should be performed next.
Attacks ready to be performed are displayed using a stack with the most prioritised attack shown on top.
Useful Information

bronxmp Tue, 26 Jan 2010 04:25:30You are not having issues with it disappearing and reappearing? I can't even get the second proirity list to work. I am afraid to tinker with current rotation setup becuase it is only one I have that works 90% of time.

dnbrmg Wed, 13 Jan 2010 00:44:35I have to say that this is an excellent addon, by far one of the best spell/ability priority/cool down addons available to date. I was pleasantly surprise how easy it was to setup from scratch for my Blood-DPS DK (although it took a little longer for my Demo Warlock due to some of the cast X when Y procs mechanics). Really the only thing that bothers me is that you can only set up 8 spell/ability priorities, which limits how effective it can be at prioritizing Warlock curses. Right now I have my warlock setup to prioritize, although not necessarily in this order, Life Tap (buff), Metamorphosis (cool down), a curse (debuff), Corruption (debuff), Immolate (debuff), Incinerate (on Molten Core buff), Soul Fire (on Decimation buff) and Shadow Bolt (for Shadow Mastery [de]buff) which fills all eight available slots. I would really like to be able to monitor three separate curses (Elements, Doom, Agony) as each is use in unique situations but that would require two addition priority slots to accomplish.

advxxxxx Fri, 03 Jul 2009 13:18:02Can You add to preority list some "cover time"? Example - I fire aimed shot and get 1.5 sec GCD, no other cd will get off at that time, only explosive shot will get off cd after 2 sec and Watcher offer me stedy shot as my next shot, but after 0.5 sec of casting stedy I have explosive shot ready and I must stop cast a stedy and fire explosive for not loosing dps. If I put cover time as 0.6 sec - then Watcher instead offering me a steady will offer an esplos shot as my next preority shot, but with some delay after gcd is off. Such tuning will simplify rotation and also will boost dps.
