There's 3 main approaches to tracking the CDs of others:
1. You catch the event for them casting an ability and start a timer for the base CD time.
2. You try to gather as much info about them as you can, their talents, traits and buffs, then start a timer based on the base CD, adjusted with the info you were able to gather.
3. You send Addon Messages to each other with your current actual CD times.

• The first is inaccurate - especially on longer CD with more chance for procs and talents to reduce things - but simple and easy to get up and running. If you need a rough guide then this is fine and can be done with a default Event - Combat log - Spell - Cast Success trigger.
○ This is also the only real option if you're trying to track the CDs of enemies.
• The second is a lot of work and there's still always going to be some information you're unable to gather.
• The third is the most accurate but requires that both users have a WA or Addon.

tracking other people cooldowns is complicated. There are addons like omni CD that can do what you're asking

Not looking for other characters. Looking for dungeon mobs and tracking the ICD of important spells such as choking vines in everbloom

Tracking non-players spells is even harder. They aren't always consistent with their behavior. You'll have to test how long between casts the specific unit waits to recast and hope that it's consistent then hardcode a timer using method #1 from above.

Isn't your request exactly what DBM does?
