Diamond Threat Meter

I know we all loved Omen. However, since 2.4, updates have been so frequent, and so frequently break any older version, that keeping a guild updated to a compatible version can be a pain in the butt. A few guildmates suggested a new threat meter to me, new with 2.4, and if it does what it claims, it may be better than Omen all around. As the title says, it's Diamond Threat Meter (Curse page)

I have yet to test it myself, but since I didn't see a thread here, figured I'd ask if anyone has tried it, or at least point it out to others.

What looks like the biggest advantage to me is that it tracks threat regardless of others' addons (though perhaps not as accurately). If a raid member doesn't have DTM, they still get tracked. It also tracks each mob separately (which was the big reason Omen was superior), and is supposedly compatible with Omen2 to boot, if a raid member really doesn't want to switch.


So . . . anyone have testimonials or criticisms?

It actually looks promising ... It can talk to Threatlib 2.0, but has its own threat engine ... Hmmmmm. Probably give this a try tonight, if the wife'll let me.

Frequent updates and changes have allways been both, a strength and
weakness of addons posted on wowace.com.
The weakness is easy to overcome by just using an updater like WAU or
jWowaceupdate. In total, don't care about new versions beeing
incompatible with version that have been out a few days. This was done
right after the patch happend. And yes, have to be said: Stuff from
wowace is beta. If it breaks you get to keep both pieces. ;P

And to give some background and history why it was broken a few times:

The last breakage of Threat-2.0 (which Omen uses) was Revision 67545
which was released at "01-Apr-2008"

That, and I just got Omen2 looking how I want it.

If add-ons have access to it (and I'm pretty much sure they do) there is no more guessing involved.

Omen and Threat-2.0 update frequently because they are constantly being corrected and made more accurate. It boggles my mind that anyone views that as a downside purely because they have to take 2 minutes to run jWowUpdater before logging in.

how to solve your problems :

- make a topic about omen on your guild forum, post the version everyone will use (and i mean everyone, even if omen has been updated 10 times during the day, stick with one version, force players that upgrade it every 2 seconds to downgrade their version), make it mandatory to download that version of omen before starting the raid. works very well.
