Per-spell breakdown across the fight. Check the Obliterate/Frost Strike split — if Frost Strike is unexpectedly high you may be Runic Power capping, and low Obliterate crit rate means Killing Machine procs are expiring before being consumed.

Cast bars and debuff icons on enemy nameplates so you can identify Mind Freeze targets and track which enemies have Frost Fever active. Cast bar highlights make the right interrupt target obvious even when nameplates stack closely at melee range.

Tracks group cooldowns from the combat log — shows when Anti-Magic Zone is available so you can coordinate the drop with your group rather than wasting it on a minor hit. Also tracks kick cooldowns so your Mind Freeze covers interrupt gaps rather than stacking with another player's kick.

Dominos gives you full control over action bar layout. For Frost DK, a dedicated cooldown bar keeps Pillar of Frost, Empower Rune Weapon, Anti-Magic Zone, and Remorseless Winter at consistent visible positions so your main bar stays focused on the Obliterate and Frost Strike rotation.
