Why do you need ACT? If you're putting out enough damage, you're going to know it. If you're not? You're going to know it.

If other people aren't? *They are going to know it.*

So. Again. Why do you need those numbers, in front of you, mid-combat? Other than to bark orders at other people.
I think tracking other peoples' CDs is for the purpose of coordinating efforts. Like if a tank doesn't have a defensive CD then the healers know to pay extra attention to that tank. DPS meters can show deficiencies in a specific player's DPS and can be an indicator that the player needs to improve in certain areas. I'd say these mods are more about situational awareness and improving one's abilities rather than just "barking orders at other people."
