Need/Greed Monitor?

I'm looking for a mod that organizes and displays who has rolled need or greed on items; or something similar. Basically, I want to be able to see what everyone has rolled on items so I know whether to roll need to DE or pass if somone needed.

Does anything like this exist? I've been looking around for a while and all I can find are /roll monitors.

Right, that's the way I've got it now. The problem is; it becomes annoying to keep track of everything when 10/25 people all start rolling on 3-5 items, all at different times. To make it even more complicated, I don't have a lot of available real estate for chat boxes.

The addon I'm visualizing consists of a window that shows the icons and/or names for the items being rolled on with columns for "Need", "Greed", and "Pass" and shows the number of people that have done each.

It's not a huge deal, I mean, between vent and master looting, I can keep track of it fine. It would just be nice to have some visual confirmation for those times that we leave it on free rolls.

We usually roll greed for off-spec.

Perhaps you could set up a chat window which only display the loot rolls, and place it at the spot where Omen usually sits. Then set Omen to not show in combat (default) and you have a nice little box that only shows info when rolls are happening

Teksloot has a small feature built in to the roll buttons on the loot frame that when you mouse over them itll tell you who rolled what. It also has a count of how many people rolled each type, be it need greed or pass. The frames are based off Xloot so they are low profile and easily moveable. I use them myself and its very handy.

I grabbed this yesterday but I haven't had a chance to try it out. It sounds like it should do what I need. Thanks for the suggestion.
