Addons for Fishing, Cooldowns, Noise Abatement

This week's WOW Insider column about addons covers three of them:  SquawkandAwe timers for Balance Druids, OmniCC which is a nifty cooldown timer that counts down on top of your action bar buttons, and Fishing Buddy which helps you cast your virtual line one-handed.

As a bonus, a reader of  WOW Insider has sent in a link to a way to turn off the buzzy sound when you can't cast a spell.
