i use simple data autocast abilities sometimes with certain autocast validators.
you can check at least 2 of my data bosses in maps i posted on this site (Warhound and Alarak)
The reasons against triggers at least for me:
1) i used to data
2) my setup oriented on a single player, so i have less various conditions to check.
3) I HATE action/movement telegraphing which become a standard lately. I think it is dumb and basicaly implies player being idiot.
4) my bosses have 5 abils max (in my actual map terran bosses have 3 abils, zerg - 4 abils, protoss - 5 abils)
5) i dont have time to write scripts for complex behavior because most of my editing time i'm working with data. I prefer good visual look instead of over-complicated gameplay mechanics with ugly/boring visuals.
