How far would you go for Group DPS Tracking?

As the title states...How far would you go for group DPS tracking.

With some research:
  • The API does not allow capturing the damage feed text for anything other than your character.
  • There is nothing in the API that allows us to monitor the chat window.
  • The ActionScript has been locked down to make reading of external files near impossible.

I have a solution in mind which will maintain game performance and does not involve any hacking methods or manipulation of client files. I'm just curious who would want this...

If I do release this to the public, I will be allowing other mod authors to use the same API. It will be closed source bar a select few.
