Since I liked what Cammie & Kah did, here is mine all labelled.
For caster dps I just move HealBot to the side and enable the spell timer from ForteXorcist, which goes right above my cooldown timer. Although I usually run the spell timer only when it's a boss encounter with a fairly small number of targets, since in light of keeping the data useful to me, with lots of adds it's easier to just watch timers that run atop the unit frames from my TidyPlates than clutter my screen with timers that I'll likely let expire anyway. Being able to see the area under and immediately around your character is pretty important. (Eventually I might move those timers to above my target's cast bar, and find a new place for raid frames during dps).
My eclipse bar goes just to the right of my player frame, and for dps I have slightly different auras - since taking advantage of haste buffs is essential to Balance druids, I end up tracking Nature's Grace + the haste buff from my staff, both with timers. So anytime they're up I want to be pushing cast times.
Above is a SS of my UI when practically nothing is active. See how bare it looks? (No pun intended :P) That helps things stand out when they pop up, like bars & auras.
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.
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.

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