This is the third revision of "Symbiont". It is my little attempt at distilling what I've learned through experimentation over the years. I constantly surf this forum and others for inspiration... so if some aspect of this resembles someone else's work you can be pretty sure that is where I got the idea. My work isn't ground breaking, but it's functional and it makes me happy. Of course I'm seeing areas I could improve now that I've gotten the nerve to post it.
At rest
The bottom bar is 30 buttons. Pressing alt pages them to a second page of 30 buttons. A hidden Fubar under the minimap is used to give access to data collection and general convenience addons.

Solo Combat
The pet bar "attaches" to the bottom bar and includes the pet unit frame. Chat appears above the left side of the bar to a maximum height equal with the top of the minimap. The target unit frame appears in a box above the player unit frame, with buffs/debuffs on the target appearing above it. Buffs/debuffs on the player appear in the upper left corner. You can see Omen above the minimap (grows up from the minimap and expands to 6 bars) and the casting bar above the pet bar. A small casting bar appears beneath the target unit frame if the target casts.

Group/Raid
The party/raid frame appears when I join a group. It doubles in size (as pictured) for a 10 man raid, and then increases an equal amount for 15, 20, and 25 person raids. The squares you see behind people's health bars are pet health. I used bars for health here as the text used everywhere else would be too much to process mentally in a fast paced raid environment. I may build a healer variant that swaps the target and group/raid positions to allow for easier access via a click-casting addon.

Unseen
Tooltips and Aloft are skinned, sorta, to match the rest of the UI. OneBag is not. Neither are the various skill, spell, character, guild, and other panels. Those just aren't open frequently enough to worry about making them match.
