The relativistically broad X-ray iron line seen in many AGN spectra is thought to originate from the central regions of the black hole accretion disk. Future high throughput X-ray observatories, such as Constellation-X, should be able to track the temporal variability of the line strength and profile in response to X-ray flares above the accretion disk. I discuss the potential power of this method for probing black hole masses and spins, as well as the potential problems that will be faced when performing these studies
