Was the giant quote necessary? For that matter, you could have just sent a PM and avoided posting entirely.

I've tried to achieve a couple important things with this rebuild:
- A (more) intuitive layout
- Obvious display of critical information
- A clearer view of my surroundings to help situational awareness. I really dislike UI's that have incredible amounts of clutter onscreen...for example, MSBT, while nice, absolutely needs to be configured so it's less intrusive. Raid frames (for DPS) shouldn't take up 30% of availiable screen space.
I have set up Satrina Buff Frames to inform me of hot streak procs, track living bomb and scorch (right above the target frame) as well as polymorph. It also tracks important raiding buffs and debuffs (like storm cloud and toasty fire) and procs (lightweave, dying curse, etc.)
The "blank space" in the bottom right holds Recount and can hold Grid, if I decide that I prefer that to my Pitbull raid frames. Recount is hidden in combat as I perform better when I focus on the fight instead of meter-watching.
Addons:
Pitbull4
Bartender
Quartz
Satrina Buff Frames
MyThreat
MSBT
kgPanels
ButtonFacade
SexyMap
Fubar (and assorted modules)
Prat (chat plugin)
DBM
oRA2 (not visible - important to note: Pitbull requires oRA to show main tanks)
PowerAuras (not visible)
Recount (not visible)
DagAssist (not visible - one of the simplest and best portal/teleport organization addons I've found)

I took your image out to save space. The only thing I was curious about is where is your targets cast bar?
