HoT Timers?

Hey, I have an 80 rogue, and I recently started a druid. With my rogue being Mutilate, I've come to enjoy and rely on the accuracy of a mod called Rogue PowerBars. It basically keeps track of any short-term buffs I have and some debuffs on my target. Problem is, I really dislike looking at my target's unit frame to look at a tiny icon so that I can figure how much time is left for a HoT that is ticking. Is there some sort of mod similar to RPB? I've tried searching Curse and WoWInterface with intuitive keywords, but haven't seen anything yet. Any ideas?
Note: I wasn't sure if this was better off in the UI & Macros forum or here, but I figured I'd rather get an answer from (presumably) a Tree that would know for sure, than someone who was just best-guessing.

I currently use grid, followed a guide by Resto4Life, works very well for me.

then i'm a simpleton and proud of it
don't let attitudes like that prevent you from using whatever addon feels the best for you. i need clear information assembled so that my attention is drawn to what it needs to be drawn to (and not to what doesn't). i get this from healbot while, for me, important events can be easily missed with grid.

Grid + Classtimer (Use it on all classes).
Can't beat that combo.

QFT. I use it as well and IMHO, it's better than Grid. It has everything built in one and is visually easier to understand but it has a habit of glitching in combat. If you make a change while in combat, it won't come into effect until you've gone out of combat.
It keeps timers on your HoTs for each target, corresponds with other healers so you know if someone else is healing your target and it has a built in decurser as well. It has a lot of settings though...
Grid is capable of displaying quite a bit more HoT data than Healbot. The debate normally revolves around whether a person wants to read that much data (or whether they can).

One thing I love about Grid is that you can configure it for ANYTHING. I not only have my Grid set up to handle HoTs on my targets, plus incoming heals and poisons and curses, but have set it up to show the icon for spells such as Frost Blast from Kel Thuzad (the "heal or he dies in 4 seconds" spell) so I can instantly click and heal (or simply clique, if you use it). HealBot really is for simpletons, as far as just how much it CAN do goes, but I don't disagree in that its a powerful addon. Anything beats Blizzard's raid frames.
