UI improvements for better gameplay

[Sky_is_epicgear]

What I'm suggesting is an addition to the current skill system. It has to do with self-buffing skills (these include: shield, razor shield, viel, venge, jugg and buffing pets such as nekro, singe, maridos etc etc....) Something like a timer to indicate when the buff will run out. It would be a nice addition to the interface.
I also would suggest some way to indicate how much more damage a mages shield can take before it 'breaks'. Possibly when shield is strongest there will be a green tint in the skills background and as damage is recieved it will change from green to red.
