Raid Communication Patched (Patch 3.3, Addons)

Patch 3.3 has brought changes to in-game raid communication. WOW Insider explains. Note the requests for an addon that copies a boss strategy into chat.  If you know of one, post in the comments section please.  I'm not a big fan of following a script for each boss battle but having a general idea of what will happen helps shape group strategy and keeps folks new to the battle from being totally lost the first time through.
