Is there an addon timer that tells you the cooldown of the defile and valkyrs? Thank you.

OS+3D is a pure tactical fight with high healing/tanking/DPS requirements. Luck has NOTHING to do with it, especially not something as trivial as avoiding a flame wall.
Well, back when it was done the real way, nowadays the zerg method is luck, but that's a lame way to do it...
How, exactly, is the zerg method luck?

Assuming you do zerg, means you usually have no clue how the fight is supposed to be done.
Supposed to be done? I'm sorry, if Blizzard didn't want people doing it one way, they'd nerf it away.
So from that I conclude that the raid is less skilled, tactical wise
"
What's that you say? You want to do it the easier, quicker way? WELL YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND TACTICS THEN
"
and that fire walls are harder for them to avoid
Not really no.
thus they need luck that they don't have to move often so they can nuke the boss
Apart from the fact that this sentance doesn't parse correctly, it's also wrong, dodging flame walls isn't hard, sorry.

Seriously, whats with these horrible examples. DBM required for Thaddius? Are you KIDDING me? The only thing you need for thaddius is the ability to recognise a red minus from a blue plus, the ability to move forward and backward, and the ability to notice that the boss you are targetting is casting some spell and there is lightning flying all around him. Hard boss is hard. Need DBM to maek easier.
Sarth 3D? The OP could just say that he is a tank. I tanked Sarth 3D on 10 with both the normal and zerg method, and on 25 with the normal method. Why would i need DBM? Its not like you do not actually SEE the twilight drakes descending to the platform.
Jaraxxus hard mode is a good example of DBM usefullness. Sure, you could go without it, but it might result in @#$% reaction time to new portals and volcanos. Its best to go away from the boss and run to the portal one second before it even spawns, esp. if you are melee.
Anubarak hard mode is easier with DBM. You know when he is gonna end his burrow phase exactly, which enables you to sometimes save a frost patch on the ground by kiting the spikes "suicidal style". The whole raid is also prompted when the adds cast their shadowstep ability, without having to target them or watch their casting animation.
In ICC, i havent seen a fight so far that would be made significantly easier, or even easier with DBM. The only useful thing could be knowing when the Deathwhisper adds are spawning.
edit: Omen seems way more mandatory for ICC from my PoW.

You actually made it to the Lich King without knowing DBM?
2 words: Addon reliance.
You can do any of the fights JUST FINE without addons.
Edit: Erm...but yeah, DBM works pretty fine for that encounter I believe.

Interest and Omenofd - Thank you for the response. I have DBM but unfortunately the cooldown timers are not showing. Do you guys know if there is a preference I can use to turn them on?
Everyone else -
Do addons make it easier to raid? – Yes, get the basics DBM, Omen, or Grid. (I have them).
Can players become poor players by developing Addon Reliance? – Yes, but it's because there are a lot of lazy/bored players.
Can a player make it to the Lich King without addons and not being carried? – Yes, but why make life harder to prove a point?
That being said, I have DBM. Unfortunately timers showed on all fights except for LK, so I assumed that DBM just didn’t have the cooldown timers for this fight.
