There are a few procs that are no longer reporting via SPELL_AURA_APPLIED as they were previously.
So far I have verified the following procs are NOT being reported properly:
Eclipse
Missile Barrage
Lock and Load
Brain Freeze
Sword and Board
Impact
Hot Streak
The following are procs I have not verified, but others have reported are NOT being reported properly:
Shadow Trance
Bloodsurge
If you notice any others, please post them here so we can get this list updated for the devs to fix the issue.
Edit:
Note that some procs such as Predator's Swiftness are being reported correctly, so it does not appear to be affecting all of them.
Updated the known list of auras not being reported as of 12/10/2009.
Edit 2:
Any chance we can get a confirmation on whether this is, in fact , a bug as we suspect or if we AddOn authors need to fall back on messy and inefficient aura scanning now?

Q u o t e: Bump. I can't tell when Missile Barrage procs because Scorchio 2 isn't tracking it.. neither are the default blizzard buff frames!
The default buff frame is showing me the buff, but I'm not getting it from SPELL_AURA_APPLIED.
Yes I know my post is too wordy. That's what you get from the creator of an addon like SpeakinSpell.

Could this maybe have something to do with the new low-duration buff/debuff tracking windows? Since all of these things only last a handful of seconds at best, perhaps the information on them is being sent to the new window even if it's disabled instead of the combat log?

Q u o t e:
-- TEMPORARY FIX --

Will show things like Missile Barrage procs. =]
Yeah noticed that will not show up in combat log or miks, but will show up on blizzards combat text. Bug or was there something changed that was missed. Yeah was also wondering if it was a change for the low-duration buff/debuff tracking stuff. Seeing as i hate having to look for a small buff hope blizzard fixes this or provides us some info to get eventalert miks scrolling combat working again.
I had to go through a raw combat log (output of /combatlog) to confirm - firing on test dummies to get missile barrage procs - saw buff on blizz default buff frames, cast it as per normal everything fine but no event registered in the combat log.
So I am wondering, since some addons are working and others are not, for the ones that are working what are they using to trigger the event since obviously they are not triggering off of SPELL_AURA_APPLIED or SPELL_AURA_REFRESH?
If I can figure out what these other addons are using as their event trigger, I hope to backport it into EventAlert since it is such a nice lightweight mod and the author seems to be MIA.
Q u o t e: Now I am wondering if some of the other addons like Power Auras are even looking at the combat log.
The addons that are still able to detect the missing events are definitely not using the combat log. They are using the UNIT_AURA event. It's considerably less efficient and requires manually tracking auras as the are applied and removed since it just signals some aura changed without specifying which one(s).
The combat log not reporting these auras is a significant issue that I hope Blizzard is working to address.
Q u o t e: I would just like it to be known that I still love you, Mik.
Of course we all still love Mikord. This problem has nothing to do with Mik or his addon. He's just being additionally awesome to push on it so that hopefully it gets addressed by Blizzard quickly.
