1. Unit Frames
PitBull Unit Frames - Very really detailed unit frames very good for PvPers willing to spend lots of time sorting these Unit Frames to fit their style.
Simple Unit Frames - Simple Unit Frames are very simple and not much different to the blizzard standard unit frames though is useful for its accuracy.
Shadowed Unit Frames - Less complicated version of PitBull though has some good ideas and takes less AddOn memory.
X-Perl Unit Frames - My personal favourite unit frame AddOn as it is easy to configure and shows detailed information on the target and allows me to have my focus frames precisely how I like them.
2. Raid and Party Frames
Clique - Allows click- and hover-casting on unit, raid and party frames.
Grid2 - Shows raid or party and is very accurate about health and mana.
HealBot Continued - Same thing as VuhDo but allows you to use all the buttons on your mouse including all the buttons on the the razor naga mouse.
VuhDo - Shows people in your group and raid and also allows you to click the name to cast a spell on that target, allows many more options this is great for raids.
3. Nameplates
Tidy Plates - Nice square nameplates, customisation options, and look good with basic minimap.
Healers have to die - Adds two different healer symbols to the nameplates of friendly and enemy healers though has a slight disclaimer as it classes everyone as healer as soon as they use a healing spell without taking consideration of the players spec but is a great PvP AddOn.
Aloft - very good nameplate AddOn, but takes a while to set up.
4. Action Bars
Bartender - My personal favourite as it's easy to configure and allows a lot of options and doesn't quick page like Dominos.
Dominos - Less detailed version of Bartender though slightly more good looking with a good configuration.
5. Casting Bars
