It is very cool. You can place your dot bar, put your spells on it. When you fire off a dot a bar shoots up from the button and counts down (it will count down the Haunt Cool down as well). Whats nice about this is that you can very easilly see where you might be missing a dot very quickly. I did have some problems with it screwing with my vehicle bar but I got that fixed. I will try to pose a screeny soon. I increased my DPS quite a bit and its also takes some of the "brain work" out of the dot timers. Now I can just press my face down on the keyboard and winz!

I am not sure if you know this but Button timers interacts with your games bars. It will and can change the button timer bars based on what you have in your blizzard bars. There are usually many more bars that are hidden from you. It can be a night mare to sort. What is probably happening is that the button timer is putting up another bar for some reason that it made or you made without realizing it. There is not enough clear instructions given with this add on. But, it also fires and you can make your timers smaller, set the bar horizontally, and put it in the middle of your screen. Then you can move your character around, and watch the boss and game while you can always see your timers and use the timer buttons to fire.
While you are not fighting you can set it to hide automatically, and reappear when you need it.
