Exclamation Pet Ability Timers Request and Bottom Right Bar Suggestion

Ok so first, I want to address something that has been bugging me for a while now. As a Hunter, my pet is pretty important. With the new pet talent system, every pet can now get abilities with long cooldowns, such as Call of the Wild. Most of these abilities I like to control myself, as autocast never uses them when I want. However, nUI's petbar doesn't show any indication whatsoever of the remaining cooldown of the abilities on the petbar. I've tried enabling OmniCC, but I couldn't find a way to have it only enabled for the pet bar, and I really like the nUI cd timers with their remaining buff/effect times. I don't want to disable those, but then with OmniCC on, the buttons get duplicate numbers (which are never perfectly in-sync either... O_o ). Is there any way to have the cooldown timers (and if possible, the remaining buff/effect times) shown on the petbar as well?

The second thing I wanted to bring up was a suggestion. The action bar on the bottom right is great and all, but can get annoying when I log on to my druid and suddenly it starts using one of the druid form bars. I know this addon is not intended to create its own action bars, but rather to make use of the built-in ones. However, I thought of two ideas. First idea is to just include an option to hide just that bar (not sure if this is already implemented...), as this would allow users to put something else there which brings me to my next suggestion. I'm not sure if this is too complex, but create an infopanel-like plugin that puts the AutoBar addon's bar in place of the bottom right action bar. Also, if possible, make it so that when you hover over the autobar, the infopanel darkens, otherwise it may be difficult to see the popup buttons...


I hope you can address these suggestions. The pet bar one is the more important one I feel, as that actually can be quite limiting. The action bar one would be wonderful, and I know that the autobar part may be a great deal of trouble, but I'd at least enjoy having the option to hide that bottom right bar so I can position the autobar there manually...
