Yay, a UI post! :) Let's all share our UIs!

Since Elven asked for feedback, all I can say is UI is really subjective. We all have preferences and what works for one may or may not work for another. Some prefer minimal addons, while others like to run highly custom.

My UI evolved from reflecting on other peoples' setups - along with lots of tweaking the details!! I gradually took what I liked about their UIs and made it into one design that works for me. My goal was to have lots of information easily viewable while keeping a clean setup that maximizes my view of the game world during combat.

I LOVE that. I hate how cluttered mine gets when there's nothing going on at all. Does Healbot let you click to select players, since it is replacing your raid frames? Or do you have to set a hotkey/key combo for it to act like a regular raid frame? This drives me bonkers with Vuhdo. I don't want two sets of frames, but if I click the person in the Vuhdo list, it wants to cast all the things! Especially problematic with Allu's tank set up where clicking taunts. >.>

Did you program Power Auras yourself, or is there a good tutorial somewhere? I've been looking into doing that. My Killing Machine procs are driving me up a wall because I don't get warning soon enough and blow them with FS instead of Oblit.

One set of frames is all you need. My keybind for targeting a raid member is Shift+Left click, and I use Shift+Right click if I need to focus them. I'm pretty sure Vuhdo will let you do the same thing.

Here's a good tutorial for PowerAuras: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dstFgS9dM9A

That's a good aura idea for your frost spec. Also for my Frost DK one aura I run is for when runic power maxes out. If that happens during Killing Machine and my runes are up then I usually just FS so that the runic power isn't wasted - it might be a little dps lost at the beginning but long-term it can help the rotation. There are a lot of good things to aura for frost dk.

I still want to figure out how to make a timer for duration on my ghoul! In some situations being able to consume it at the last couple seconds it's alive would be pretty nice.

Skada has lots of useful info but is less of a resource hog than recount so I like it a lot. :)
