    Need addon suggestions

    Hello. I have just reinstall wow after some time and creating my UI. I have the LUI (http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/lui) suite and I came across to this addon also (http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/lui-addonsmanager) which allow me to switch between addon packs in-game on the fly So I thought to create addons packs for different situations but I would like some suggestions, because except the well known and old addons I am sure there are lot of new hidden gems out there that people are missing..

    My core addons will be

    LUI
    Bartender
    Postal
    Altoholic

    The packs I want to create including addons I have found so far to put into (but here is where I need you to change these addons and/or add new ones). Every pack will have only core addons plus the ones listed under the pack.

    Raid/Dungeons as Tank DPS
    Recount, Omen, DBM, Power Auras Classic, Tidy Plates

    Raid/Dungeons as Healer
    Recount, Omen, DBM, Power Auras Classic, Grid, Clique

    Alt/Leveling
    QuestHelper

    PVP
    Healers have to die

    Bank Character
    Auctionator

    Farming
    Gathermate, lootfilter

    Waiting your suggestions What would you add/change?
    The trick of selling a FFA-PvP MMO is creating the illusion among gankers that they are respectable fighters while protecting them from respectable fights, as their less skilled half would be massacred and quit instead of “HTFU” as they claim.

    I would recommend you using ElvUI (http://www.tukui.org/dl.php). It is not updated on Curse anymore, but they put together a neat Update Tool for easy updating.
    What you get:

    A customizable great lookin UI, where you do not need seperate AddOns of the following:
    -Bar Addon
    -Tooltip Addon
    -Chat Addon
    -Nameplates
    -Loot Addons (like XLoot)
    -Bag Addon
    -Raidframes (well for a Healer I still recommend using stuff like Grid)
    -DoTimer/anything that shows buffgains or debuffs on the target
    -in extend even no Recount or Omen (I still use those two just because i like the visual style more)

    I had LUI before and since I switched to ElvUI, my gameplay went up much. Just because I see alot more (less space is requiered = more you can see on your screen).

    Also I recommend you an Addon that is called "Addon Control Panel" (http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/acp) you can also make Addon Sets for easy and quick loads on-demand.

    And here is a List what might interest you too (Optional / PvP in "( )"):
    -Turn In (http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/turn-in)
    -Atlas Loot Enhanced (http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/atlasloot-enhanced)
    -Bug Grabber + Bug Sack (http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/bug-grabber + http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/bugsack)
    (-Gladius (http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/gladius))
    (-BG Defender (http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/bg-defender))
    -MikScrollingBattleText (http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/mik-...ng-battle-text)
    -MBB(MinimapButtonBag) (http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/mbb)
    (-Vanas KoS (http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/vanas-kos))
    (-PvP Sound (http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/pvpsound))

    (not listed anything you have in your OP)

    I hope this helps

    I would add OPie as a core addon, simply because it's my favorite addon and it makes everything easier to access on the fly while saving keybinds.
    Furthermore I'd get Skada to the "Raid/Dungeons" instead of both recount and omen, since it's more lightweight (You can make several skada windows to track both threat and healing / dmg done).
    I'd remove questhelper entirely since questing is a breeze without it, and i personally don't like excess addons.
    That's all I can come up with atm hope it helped.

    Also suggesting that you boot Power Auras for Weak Auras. Much less process intensive and a hell of a lot more intuitive than the current iteration of PA.

    I've tryed WA myself and I think it is way to complicated. maybe it is better when you get used to it but it takes time and of you don't have someone to tell you exactly what to do it is a pain in the A.

    Haven't tryed the new PA so nothing from me on that but there is a mop ready version of the old PA on wowinterface (http://www.wowinterface.com/download...oPVersion.html)

    of course this is just my personal experiance.
