This is only visible to you, not anyone else. Yes, if you have the appropriate filters off, you can see everyone's "Soandso is Doomed" message. But it's impossible to see how much time is left on the counter unless you yourself are doomed.

The reason this isn't displayed in the log is simple. If there is AoE doom, it would result in a massive flood of the chat log, as I exemplified earlier in the thread. Move the counter to a visual indicator and you get around the log flood problem.
I... wasn't aware I was addressing you at this point. Forgive me for not understanding my own thought process and quoting you.

Edit: My bad, I didn't see you ninja'd a post above my last one so I missed yours. Sorry! Sarcasm revoked.

But to be fair, let me say this: what does it matter how much time you've got left? If a person's gonna Cursna you, you're either going to get it immediately until cured because you're a priority tank, or you're going to get it down the line if you're still alive and the more important people have received Cursna. All adding a visible timer is going to do is stress the healers because they're going to see "OH MY GOD EVERYONE'S GOING TO DIE IN 5 SECONDS I CAN'T GET THEM ALL." Having a visual indicator isn't going to have any real effect on the healing process except to create tension for the unfortunate mages.
