Link to sources for the mods you posted. Your screenshots are very good and so are your descriptions, which is why this is just a warning.

Also, don't use "lol" as punctuation. In fact, don't use it at all.

Original Post:

Please ignore the GM Ticket, it kind of ruins my UI lol...

I use Elkano's BuffBars for buffs and debuffs in the top right corner. I separate (filter) my consumables and self buffs into another column to make sure I have everything I need in a raid (Fel Armor, Spellstone, etc). In addition to being minimalistic it also doubles as a DOT timer for me. The reason I believe it is better than most other DOT timers out there is because I can set it to track: only the debuffs that matter on my target (UA, CoA, Corr, etc) which unclutters my timers and makes it easier to keep everything up, also it will track my Lifetap glyph which is a buff on myself, and my focus banish/fear. I also have it set to show a countdown for other people's CC (banish, sap, polymorph, etc) to the right of my target frame; this is mainly so I can pick up other people's CC if they die.

I use MikScrollingBattleText to keep up with incoming and outgoing damage. It also doubles as a Drain Soul warning/timer. It will play a sound and display "Execute! Drain Soul Now!" everytime a boss hits 25%. Then it will play a sound and show me every Drain Soul Tick, so I can refresh my DOTs more efficiently.

Grid is tweaked out to only show stuff that I would find useful. It shows who is dead, ghost, offline, or has aggro. It shows mana bars. It also shows an icon for who has Soulstones. If a person is out of range (100 yards or more) it will dim their frame so I know if they need a summon or not.

I have a lot of Warlock macros for almost everything. Instead of using Outfitter or Itemrack I have macros to switch specs and gear with one button. My Banish macro creates a focus target and casts Banish, or casts Banish without losing my current DPS target, or resets the focus on right-click. My Soulstone macro will create a Soulstone on left click and cast it on myself or any currently targeted friendly unit on right click. I also have macros to create a Spellstone or Firestone on left click and automatically places it on the weapon (without selecting it) and cancels any "Are you sure..." dialogs that may pop up. Even the simple all-in-one pet summoning macro. I can post any of these macros if anyone wants them, servers are down for maintenance right now though.

Showing Drain Soul ticks and Grid.

Showing Banish macro with focus while DPSing another target. Shows DOT timer with Lifetap Glyph and Banish. Also shows 25% Drain Soul warning. Shows Grid showing who has a Soulstone.

Showing my Banish macro, timer, and focus. Also shows my target's CC timer (in case the Banish wasn't cast by me).
