Request: Merge hits of multi-hit & AoE skills

Simple request: option to specifically merge the damage of dual-wield attacks such Raging Blow, Obliterate, Stormstrike, etc.
This can be achieved with the same method used to throttle text, indicating "2 hits, x crits" etc. As it stands, efforts to throttle down spam and screen clutter are thwarted by commonly pressed buttons regurgitating main hand and offhand numbers, which makes it harder to parse how much damage a single button press did for very basic buttons. The current setup is especially weak when only one hit crits, because half the damage will show in the Sticky section, and the other will be in the normal section. This is impractical to register during live combat quickly and easily.
I've updated the ticket because I realized no AoE skills work in the expected behavior. Instant AoEs, such as the direct damage of Death Knight's Howling Blast, Warrior's Dragon Roar, and Holy Paladin's Holy Prism to name a few flood the scroll areas with damage in mass pull situations. However, throttling is not a good feel for these skills becuase they are not DoT effects. Simply put, instant AoEs with no DoT component I would expect to merge the damage and use the throttling format for X hits, Y crits.
I just want my AoEs to stop spamming my screen without having to wait X seconds after pushing my instant damage to see how much damage it did (IE throttling.) Throttling also doesn't group the first registered hit, by design--it's simply designed for DoTs and not instant attacks.
