RotationCore
Rotation helper for World of Warcraft 3.3.5a (WotLK).
RotationCore watches your spec, talents, resources and target, then highlights the next ability to press. It works out of the box and needs no setup.

What it does
The addon follows your current build and the state of the fight, then shows the next ability in a priority list. It does not cast anything: every button is pressed by the player.
Works on any private server running the 3.3.5a client, including Warmane, Project Epoch and other WotLK realms.

- Action-bar highlight with priority colours and glow styles.
- Icon window with the top recommendations, keybinds and target mode.

FAQ
Does it play the game for me? No. It only highlights the next ability, and you press every button yourself.
Will it work without DBM or BigWigs? Yes. The boss timeline works on its own. DBM and BigWigs add precise timers.
Is my data safe? Yes. Settings are stored locally by the game and never leave the client.
Does it work on private servers? It targets the standard 3.3.5a game data and works on private servers running 3.3.5a. Custom abilities can be added with your own rotation through /rc apl.
