Omen appears in the same panel as the combat log.
Ultimately a very clean PVE UI which won't run into the problems you would have by it serving both purposes, all I can suggest is you try using oCD seems as it looks amazing, and probably dropping Decursive in favour of Grid + Clique for simple aesthetic appeal.

I am using rFilter2 for the cooldowns, which does it for me!

Current UI:


Notes: I've come to the agreement with myself that you probably can't create an UI that smooth and functional and works for dps, healing and tanking in one. So this is a tanking/dps UI

I do realize that I've got FR aura on, and I know I gotta move some of the BigWigs Elements, and I should probably switch my MT frames to Pitbull too

Addons

Edit: Forgot to mention that I nicked somebody's general unitframe layout. Mad props to whoever it is, and apologies for not remembering.

My UI Currently



Saw someone else's UI on here that I liked, so I decided to make one similar to it. On the right side of the minimap is where the raid frames show up, just their health bars only and grouped 1-5 to fit that space.

I kind of changed it a tad before I logged off but forget to get a new screenshot, will post it in here next time i log on.

I've spent ~2 months on my current UI, getting ideas and inspiration from many other UI's on this forum. I'm not all done yet, though, since my Recount frame is bothering me a little with achoring and parenting panels to.
Anyways, comments and criticism is more than welcome for further improvement!

Marieth's UI really made me want to do something similar with oUF and rFilter - so here's what I came up with. I raid as feral and pvp as resto (surprise) so I had to try and pull off something universal enough manage both. my msbt and oUF/rFilter are all tweaked a little bit as i wanted to be able to see mana/health at all times instead of 100% and I wanted numerical values for them also. Any thoughts?

pvp:


raiding:




as far as visible mods:

MSBT

proximo
antagonist
DRTracker
oUF
oUF_Lyn
eePanels2
Bartender4
Buffalo
Buttonfacade
Buttonfacade_enigma (I believe)

Wohoo I inspired someone (*makes three red crosses*).

Just kidding, making UIs for hybrid classes is really difficult. But I like what you did.
It shows all relevant information, without to much clutter.

Maybe you can try to align your action buttons to the center, by making your combatlog smaller, or switching to eavesdrop.

That also would you give more room for grid, so it does not grow that much into the screen.

I made a few enhancements to my UI since I last posted:

Edit: Download link is coming soon.



Changes made:
  • Switched to Bartender 4 from Bartender 3.
  • Switched to ButtonFacade from Cycircled.
  • Now using Recount over Violation.
  • Used custom dogtags for HP/power display on my Pitbull frames.
  • Edited Pitbull debuff aura positioning for a bottom-left corner Grid-style display (great for those Flame Sears).
  • Switched to tekticles over ClearFont2.
I also changed the texture for my Pitbull auras but that change is not reflected in the screenshot above.
A few elements are not visible right now. The cast bar to the mid-left of my screen that is just about faded away is my focus cast-bar. My target's cast bar appears opposite that on the right side.

Addons used (in order of visibility:
  • Pitbull (unitframes + raidframes)
  • Bartender4
  • ButtonFacade + Apathy skin
  • Totemtimers
  • kgpanels
  • Omen
  • Recount
  • SCT + SCTd
  • Eavesdrop
  • Satrina Buff Frames
  • Bigwigs
  • Quartz
  • Chinchilla
  • Fubar
  • tekticles
  • Cowtip
  • DrDamage
  • Mapster
  • Chatter
  • Butsu
  • teksloot
  • Align
  • Arkinventory
  • Closetgnome

It's been a while now since I lasted posted my UI and it's an amazing sight to see what a "partial overhaul" can do still, it's far from 100% clean but it's still got a very low memory consumption and is beginning to look less "blocky". Also wanted to thank Firedancer, Jemsky and Arkangell for the help with the chat addons



So far, I'm content with the tidying up and cleansweep progress of my action bars.

List of addons used (including the ones not visible in the screenshot);

- ButtonFacade (skin is Trinity)
- Chatter
- ClearFont2
- CooldownCount
- Dominos
- ErrorMonster
- GdDamageFont
- Morganti's Buffbars
- Omen
- Squeenix
- SunnArt
- SunnArt Pack 5
- XLoot
- XPerl's Unit Frames

One of my main goals is to ensure my UI uses exceptionally low space consumption on my screen so that everything looks clear and tidy, with nothing obstructing my view of the game whatsoever. I really like to keep my UI compact and straight forward.
