Those spikes cost place but are needed to make it look alike. But I think I could still make them smaller in width and a bit taller in height.

Any other ideas? What is a must is outer glow for debuff, border coloring for threat.
The only thing I see that could use a change is size; the red for out of range is a little strange to me, but I can see its use, and I just love the chains. The shorter ones are best for a raid, though I'd consider using the longer ones in a party setting with those bars.

In regards to the graphic, while the spikes unify everything nicely, maybe they could be edited to use less space? I hope you'll forgive the butchery, but maybe something more like the attached image. Blunted, but in the same style as the rest. The bottom part is the "final product," I added the pieces on top to show how I got there. Of course the sizing isn't taken into account, but you get the idea.

If it needs to be spiky, though, changing the width and height could be enough.
