Design of my UI is very dynamic, notice how many things get automatically un-hidden at the very beginning the video.

This is mostly to demonstrate the way power auras are set up. Idea is to have a spell icon like an action bar, indicating that the spell is avaliable, which is only triggerable via hotkey, and when the spell is in cooldown, instead of the spell, display a custom-colored cooldown timer with transparent bacground.

I know it's essentially overcluttered, and it could use a good redesign, I was pretty much changing it all the time as I was playing, but the idea of replacing action bar with powerauras is something I came up with myself, an haven't seen anywhere else, so I'd thought I'd share it, even though this video is years old and I've quit WoW long time ago.

Sorry for bad quality, I had a crappy pc back when I recorded this. Here are some high-res screenshots if you're interested to see more:
