B) I spot their swiftcast is on CD, I start the hard cast raise without the need to wait.

These both use a 3rd party program to quickly let me gauge information I 'shouldn't' be privy to which in turn helps me make a decision quicker to gain an advantage in content.

Yet one is absolutely fine, the other is a 10 day ban and a permanent mark on your account.

Why?
Because you can just as easily type out "no swiftcast ready" or have it macro'd.

Voicechat is simply not something that's going to get you banned because people use phones or -heaven forbid- simply play the game together in the same room.

Having software that actively reads data from the game, especially data you shouldn't be able to see (other healer's cooldown times) is very obviously different.
