You will largely notice this if you are a quick healer - meaning you target, already knowing what you wish to cast and cast the renew and move onto the next person. That is too quick for the buff to show up on your target, thus NECB will not pick up the new spell (your HoT). This applies to SW: P and other DoT/HoT's as well. If you remain on your target for a second or two (perhaps you need a 'tick'), the mod will pick up the spell. This is pretty much what I noticed from observation of using the mod in the past.

What is more concrete now is that your HoT is guaranteed to land, where it wasn't before. That actually removes quite a bit of complexity and error checking from the tacking methods. However you still would be required to implement some type of timer method and constant updates, independent of the pulse updates in most raid mods.

IMO, praid by default shouldn't have HoT tracking, but could be implemented through an add-on to praid? (But that might be the same as installing and using necb with most options turned off) I guess it all depends on how difficult it is to get something like this working.
