GamText triggers is another alternative - it's a log parser that you can set up any number of alerts and timers against, which show up in a positionable "timer window" and/or "alert area" overlaying the EQ screen. Does depend on there being a unique phrase generated by the game for the skill concerned, but there usually is.

The limitations are - it only parses one logfile, so you can't use it for more than one EQ session at a time (on one PC) - and it's always visible, even if you tab away to another EQ session or internet browser (actually this part can be handy, having your "placeholder about to respawn!" message float up in front of your mah jongg game is nice - also for 2-boxing on 1 PC, a floaty message that the toon on the background session on auto-follow is no longer following, or is about to become visible, is also handy).

It's not directly wired into EQ so is not an EULA violator - in fact I think its main description and discussion are on the official EQ forums and have been for years.
