Pet Proc & Cooldown Watcher?

Hey folks,
I'm wondering if any of you make use of an add-on that monitors and displays your pet's procs (ie Culling Of The Herd) and ability Cooldowns (eg Rabid, Call Of The Wild)? I know they appear in the standard buff section of the UI, but I'm looking for something a bit more obvious (for example like the Cooldown Watch bar format).
Does anyone know of such an add-on?
Thanks!

I don't use anything like that myself, but a search on Curse came up with this addon:

Seems like you can set your pet's cooldowns to appear, but I haven't used it so I'm not sure what it's like.

I used that one for a while, and yes, it's cool. I later switched it for powerauras, which shows debuffs and buffs in a big font in he middle of my screen.

I've seen power auras a few times, but I'm not sure I could get used to its...unique appearance. xD

Yeah, I use Power Auras for a few of my shots but I don't like to use it too extensively as it creates a lot of clutter around my character model. I know it can be configured to not be like that but I'm not sure how to do it exactly.
Cooldown Watch has a pet bar and I could set it to only show that, but CDW is also outdated and so doesn't have newer content in it's database.

Does the poweraura interfer with boss mods at all?

Nope, using it and deadly boss mods at the same time. Deadlies text is put ahead of powerauras.

Hmm, from the screenshots and such that I've seen of power auras it seems like it's very in the way. Maybe it just takes some getting used to, but the design (though unique), seems sort of odd to me.

Power Auras needs a lot of configuring to not be in the way, I've seen some very minimal PA set ups but the out-of-the-box configurations are quite garish and intrusive. I know it's possible to just get it to show a small icon with a numeric timer, but I'm not sure how exactly to do this.
I do use the add-on but you have to be careful to not get carried away with it. I have only a few shots set up in it (Serpent Sting, Chimera, Aimed and Kill Shot) and since they are rarely up at the same time I do not get clutter.
Using it to watch pet abilities would be too much I think.

Try Sexy Cooldown.

Its a bar that can be set horizontal or vertical and is pretty easy to config. I set mine to the far left of the screen vertical moving top to bottom. It shows all your cooldowns, including pet specials and trinkets. It also moves pretty cool since its a relational timer and the spaces between units of time put more emphasis on the ones coming off cooldown rather than the ones you have to wait a while for (the icon might move an inch in 5 minutes when there's 25 minutes remaining, but when it hits the last 10 seconds, it moves 4 inches). It all makes sense when you use it.
