Hi, this is my first thread so go easy on me... i want you guys to share the addons that you are using in F2P pvp..... i'll go first :
ClassIcons - for showing a little class icon on player's portrait
Cooldowns - for tracking cooldowns on abilities and items
CPR ( Cyanide Poison Reminder ) - rogues reminder for when poisons are wearing off
eCastingBar - just a casting bar also used for tracking enemy casting
F2P Addon - i don't think i have to describe this anymore though i will : it allows to chat with other f2p players on a specially created channel
HealersHaveToDie - addon that marks enemy healers by healing percentage so you know wich one to kill
Healium - it's a healing addon for when i used to play healer
HealthWarning - just another low health warning addon
KillingBlow_Enhanced - A killing blows tracking addon with graphics too
NameplateCooldowns - addon for tracking enemies cooldowns over the nameplate
PVPControl - this addon is awesome imo, it tracks and shows incapacitating stuff, also warns others about them, and it warning system about low mana or if flag carrier is low on hp.... plus other bonus options
RangeColors - is an addon that makes the buttons turn red if skills can't be used because of the distance
RETabBinder - addon that let's you target players with Tab key and skips the targeting of pets and minions ( well... not always )
SkeenStunWatch - is a rogue addon that monitors the sapped target
TargetClass - a little addon that puts a class name over the top of target's portrait
TargetNameplateIndicator - addon that places a mark over the current target.... useful when fighting in crowded places
TidyPlates - and addon that has improved floating health bars with some features too
And now, the best and most important of all is : EliteFrame wich actually makes you feel like an elite even if your skill is not that high... :)

All addons can be found on Curse and / or Wowinterface... hope you guys enjoyed it.

I agree... but i really don't like the look of it... that's why i don't use it.... i try to contact the developer, even sent him a visual improvement idea... but never replied so.... too bad.
 
Vial cool downs is bis
 
Yes it's cool... but i wouldn't use it in bgs... only in arenas.... i think in crowded groups it can be a pain in the behind to sort things out...
 
debuff filter for savage and timing scatter / evasion
cooldown pulse for concussive spam
bettleground targets for swag fr roof deff while your team gets gy farm.
 
I just quit Tidyplates. It's just too buggy. I turned it off and WoW plays way better, and now I can use Vial again.

Other PvP addons of interest:

BattlegroundTargets — for enemy comps
Capping — for knowing how long until I win/lose
GladiatorlosSA — for making it sound like I'm doing something important
Healers Have to Die — for saving healers
Mik's Scrolling Battle Text — for comic sans
OmniCC — for cooldown timers
Quartz — for caster bars
SexyMap — for making map bigger

For PvE pwnage:

Bagnon — for one big bag
Deadly Boss Mods — for bullseye ever time
Gathermate2 — for finding chests
Gogomount — for mount randomness
GTFO — for fires
Mogit — for fashion
SilverDragon — for finding rares

It's actually quite easy: Been used to Xperl ever since vanilla. The range finder, the missing hitpoints to calculate the rank of healing used etc.

Well let's not argue about addons used, some people are not using them and others are for their own reasons.... don't need to judge them, we're here just to share opinions about addons... and maybe help others...
 
Vial Cooldowns is working. Some essentials for me as shammy: VialCooldowns, MageNuggets (for purge-able spell notifications), Tidy Plates (for buff/debug tracking, though it is very buggy currently), good ole Say Sapped, and some kind of beefier raid frames, currently Vuhdo, for setting up different colors for stuns, fears, etc for quicker cleansing. Also Battleground Targets for sure.

f2p add on
capping
battle ground targets
healers have to die
shodowed unit frames
 
I've found BattlegroundTargets, REPorter, and RETabBinder to be valuable for pvp. I think people have already mentioned each of these and what they do.

A few general addons I've picked up as well include F2PAddon, Bartender, Bagnon, FishingBuddy, and SexyMap.

Edit: Hadn't heard of this vial cooldowns one everyone is mentioning. That sounds super useful. Gonna check it out.

Pretty much what others have said. BG Targets, Tidy Plates, Say Sapped, Vial CDs, Capping, Decursive, Grid, WeakAuras2. TipTac also allows me to see what level people really are by hovering over them.

Grid is really the only one I would never want to do without.
