I've used that on Kael'thas attempts in the past (before my guild imploded on Kael 2 months ago) and they always worked perfectly for phase 2.

I am following this thread with great interest, as I always look for mods that can provide the most functionality for the least amount of resources, while at the same time offering easy updates.
I see a few of these comments like the one I quoted above, suggesting that BW is streamlined and that for additional functionality, you should just download <mod x>. As someone who is making a case for BigWigs in my guild, I think it would be great if there was a mod listing somewhere of these optional mods that people could use to compliment BW in order to make it more robust. I realize that individuals could easily search through WoW Ace and try to find them on a mod by mod basis, but a listing would help.
A lot of players, myself included, are using DBM at the moment. We're used to what some may call "bloat" and others may call "full-featured". If we ask people to scale back, then we need to offer them optional alternatives to ensure they don't lose those key elements that they rely on currently.
For example, my mod list would now look like this:
1. BigWigs
2. PerfectTargets - For Kael weapon/advisor health bars
3. BigWigs_NajAssist - For health warnings on Naj'entus
4. ...
5. ...
6. ...
If something like this was supported on say a BigWigs page with links to the WoWAce downloads (similar to how CTMod's page lists all of it's optional components), then you'd offer the best of both worlds; a "bloat" free boss mod with supported/suggested optional alternatives for those who wanted to take advantage of them. One you list them, then WoWAceUpdater becomes your "bundle" making for easy downloads and updating.
Funky, I suppose this would be directed at you more than anyone. Hopefully you see what I am getting at; a simple listing of all your optional BigWigs plugins with descriptions of their functions along with a list of other raid-oriented mods who cover areas that you don't feel BW needs to duplicate.
If this exists already, then I apologize, as I certainly was unable to find it.
Thanks in advance for your time and feedback.
