<p>If they do I hope it's only an option. I already hate wasting poisons when I have to switch them out for certain fights.</p>

Would be nice for raids and eliminate the worry of having to reapply poison every 10 minutes.

i wish the poison icon on my concentration bar would have a little number on it telling me how many charges it has left, so i can more easily know when to reapply <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  seems like a solid change, imo

How about also making the poison icon match the color of the item in your inventory? Doesn't make sense that a caustic is red in inventory and red on the effect, yet ignorant bliss is blue in inventory, but yellow on the effect.

As long as you have one of the potions/poisons that you activated on you, when the duration/charges expire, the game will simply consume another one.

I'm still hoping the poison vial icons will match their buff icons (or vis versa)
