You'd think XRS would be able to work in specs now that you can inspect talents in the default UI. Any word on a mod that does?

Intruding into the warrior thread here, but there was a crapload of great info in the first thread so I've been following along.
As a raiding pally in Vanilla WoW, I was obviously a healing paladin and slave to the raid id boxes. After TBC, I went tankadin and am loving it.
Being used to my raid bars being all over my screen, I've left them up, and they've been invaluable as a tank. When you get used to it, you'll realize that 25 people isn't that bad, and being able to know at a glance who exactly is dying, who's in range, who's dead and who's out of mana is exceptionally useful. When pulling trash, generally all you need to know is if most people are ready. In the thick of the fight knowing the exact person dead or oom can be amazingly useful.
