5 - Detection based on /rolecheck
I propose an autodetection of what roles the different raidmembers selected when the raidleader did a /rolecheck. If I am not mistaken, this would be possible by using the "UnitGroupRolesAssigned" API function, and optionally, if you want to set roles manually, the API function "UnitSetRole".
By doing this change, you avoid having to use the "copy" function in the "Actors"-part of the addon to obtain the names, because the roles would be detected automaticly. You would then get a list of healers, a list of tanks and a list of dpsers. The drawback of this, is that you want to have a set tank(maintank / offtank), perhaps, assigned as T1, but this automation have chosen the wrong one, it doesnt fit with your tactics. Well, no problem! Just implement a way to swap places between the tanks(or healers..or dps) after the list is generated, so that you get the correct player/class where you need them to be according to the tactics. This could be either a drag n drop thing, or as simple as the character screen on gamelogin, where you can choose to move characters up and down with some arrows.
Additionally, the names could/should be colored by class, to make the re-arranging easier.
I sincerely hope this is something you will consider. :) Thanks for a nice addon.

And also, an option to swap people between roles, not just T1 to T2, but also from T1 to H1 would be nice.
I dont know if it is possible, but if it is, the autodetection should only start when a /rolecheck is completed, that way it cant screw up the roles/tactic without the raidleader doing another /rolecheck, but still, there should be a locking option, incase there are more leaders in the raid, and someone decides to do a /rolecheck after your tacs are ok. :)
