Which addons are you using on your Shaman?
Up until recently I was specced ele and DoTimers was perfect to track the limited cooldowns. I respecced enhance but I've a little problem with the now much higher number of cooldowns to track.
DoTimers adds new cooldowns in the order they are clicked, meaning that the second item in the list sometimes may finish before the first one if its cooldown is generally shorter. I looked through the options but I can't find any way to make the list sort itself, so that the timer with the lowest duration left on it automatically gets sorted to the top of the list. Is there any way to make that possible in DoTimer or any addon that does it by default?
Shock and Awe is better but it's still not really perfect either. The bars are in a fixed position which is a step forward from the randomness in DoTimer but still the bar with the lowest duration left doesn't get put on top. I also don't really like the overall look of it.
forteXorcist has the idea right. It's cooldown bar will show all abilities that come off cooldown in the order in which they come off cooldown which is exactly what I want. But I don't want it in one single bar with sliding icons. It may look awesome but it's just not practical. What I want are timer bars (like in DoTimer) that just get sorted by remaining duration automatically.
So ... is there any convenient way to do that? Which addons do you use?

I'll take a shot here. I use good ol' CCTimer and PowerAuras for basically everything. I have 6 basic Power Auras now:
(1) 5 Stakes of Maelstrom
(2) Stormstrike off CD
(3) Shocks off CD
(4) No Flame Shock debuff on target
(5) Lava Lash off CD
(6) Fire Nova off CD
Other than that, I use Totem Timers for Magma totem (and others). This system has yet to fail me. As long as I'm paying attention to all the pretty numbers, I can tell what is about to come off CD and when, what already is, and all of that. I know that something like forteXorcist does this in a much more fashionable way, but I just haven't switched to it.
Here is a link to what my UI looks like, albeit on my alt hunter from months ago (BoA gear @ 80 ftw!). Gives you a general idea of how I do it:

I know this isn't at all what you're looking for, but just trying to spur ideas.
