Taint in Cataclysm is even worse!

So basically what I did was to redefine a function by copying it from FrameXML and altering 1 line in it so the time format on buffs and debuffs could be what ever I want it to be (format). The problem is that it now does not even accept canceling buffs when you right-click, it asks for the addon to be disabled.

My question is if there are some API changes that I didn't notice? How could one alter the behavior of API such as "UnitAura" (or any other API) that requires pre-hooking and not post-hooking?

Another question of mine is since you now can't use (self, event, ...) and you must specify the amount of arguments such as (self, event, arg1, arg2) -is there a work around? Or did it just mean you can't have variables such as "local self, event, arg1, arg2 = 1,2,3,4" defined in an addon as they are restricted? Just need clarification on this. I prefer using "..." then using "arg1" and such in the body itself.
