AddOns will be able to accurately track multiple targets at the same time for things like threat meters, dps parsing, etc. without any guess-work at all. :)

Didn't blizzard say something about implementing their own version of a threat meter? Maybe this is when we'll see that functionality.

Does this mean no more guess work when working with Omen and fighting multiples mobs with the same name? It will track them all independently instead of all as one?

Yes, as soon as threatlib is re-written to work with the new combat log code, it means exactly that.

Even with mobs with the same name, it will be possible to accurately track threat / dmg per mob.

It should also make it much easier for various meters to accurately report healing from stuff like prayer of mending also.

This is a really nice (and big!) change. Instead of using heavy parsers and a lot of in-game communication via messages addon-between, things will get smaller, faster and neater.
Hopefully more people will understand how to develop threat/DPS/healing meters etc. now too - so you'll have more choices available out there...
