An Addon for Managing Talents/Glyphs While Raiding

The addon: "Angry Boss Reminders"
Why you might want it:
The design of the current talent system is reportedly that we can and should change our talents regularly. It is likely that, while raiding, most people change 1 or 2 talents and/or glyphs per fight, based on whether the fight is single target or AoE/cleave, whether it's a standstill fight or heavy on movement, whether the damage you take comes constantly or in bursts, etc.
Do you ever find yourself struggling to keep straight which talents you want per fight? Or often forgetting to swap to a crucial talent or glyph for a certain encounter? Based on whispers I get while raid leading, this happens all of the time.
Angry Boss Reminders allows you to set up, beforehand, your preferences/plan for how you will talent, glyph, and gear for each fight. You can create a "Default" set-up (i.e. Here is the set-up I generally want for raiding), as seen below. Then, by clicking where it says "Default," you can choose bosses one at a time, and adjust it to remind you to swap talents, glyphs, and even gear for that particular fight (if, for instance, you swap to a special trinket for 1 fight, or drop your 4 set for a fight where it's not any good, etc.).

Note that you also have the option of leaving most of this blank, and that just means it won't provide any reminders one way or the other for that portion. For instance, note that the minor glyphs and gear sections are left blank above. That's you telling the addon you don't want it to involve itself in your minor glyphs or what gear you are wearing.
Once you've taken the time to do that initial set-up, here is how the addon works mid-raid. The moment you enter a boss's encounter area/room, one or more small boxes will pop up on your screen, reminding you what changes you want to make before beginning the boss encounter. The best part about these boxes are... they are interactable buttons! You simply click the boxes, and they make the changes to your talents, glyphs, and gear for you, without ever opening any of the associated panels!

Thanks to this addon, I will finally "remember" when to glyph/unglyph my Divine Protection! I'll also remember to swap my boomkin's tier 1 to "Displacer Beast" in lfr Kromog, so that when someone steals my rune I can blink down, and possibly survive.
I hope you find it as valuable as I have so far!
