I haven't heard anyone using it that didn't enjoy it although I do get feature requests and such. In either case I've used it with great success in Hyjal (not amazingly important for us there), BT and SWP (this being the most challenging location due to the nature of the trash packs).
The history of the addon is that I got tired of the significant downtime we had when no one was marking packs in a timely fashion and almost worse, when people was marking but using inconsistent marks. The other benefit is that as of the 2.4 patch, it will also auto-learn what crowd control methods work based on successful spell casts.
The syncing works but there's definitely some issues related to it overall - don't expect perfect behavior if two people mark packs at exactly the same time. However if you use a rogue to mark stuff in say the pre-Shahraz packs, I'll properly get these marks in my addon and won't clobber them.
As a bonus feature I have an uncomplete "raid mark template" option that put marks on decursers, shamans or both (we use the last for Archimonde). I also a simple "take a snapshot of the icons of the raid" and "load snapshot" which I use on Illidan (set up marks for phase 2 groups, but keep them off except during phase 2 to allow the parasite skull to be properly placed).
The following Addons are part of the package:
http://files.wowace.com/MagicMarker/MagicMarker.zip
http://files.wowace.com/FuBar_MagicM...agicMarker.zip (optional FuBar addon which is highly useful)
http://files.wowace.com/MagicComm/MagicComm.zip

Thank you for this, saving this so I can use it later when I get home.
