It would drive me batty for a couple of raids every time I'd be tanking with a new tank recruit or brand-new alt with a new name. I placed target of target dead center of my screen using IceHUD since I considered that the most important piece of information for most tanking.

I have three bars that are invisible until I actually go over them, for the same things you've mentioned; mounts, pets, that type of thing (can't beat the magical crawdad). I'll look up SpellBinder, though - might well be worth the effort if it actually saves time and effort. Haha, gotcha.

There used to be an addon called Taunt Buddy that would put up a raid warning (or just raid chat, I forget) whenever your taunt missed. It did some other stuff, too, but I don't remember what else.

I love to have no additional things to see or take care. since now is easier to tank that old days. I don´t use custom UI. and I don´t use portraits I raid with friend.

I hate it. The default setup is horrid. The configuration window is not intuitive. I heard pitbull is hard to setup, but I'm going to give it a try anyway. If all else fails, I''ll go back to Shadowed Unit Frames (or ag_UnitFrames). The only thing I like about xperl is the "your debuff" countdown timer.

The point of using spellbinder is to skip that step, so that I essentially only have 1 action bar (although I have that one vertical on the right which could probably go away but is nice for utility and there's also a hidden mount bar at the top of the screen, and one that I set up for my Naga so there's a slight visual aid while I get used to it). I think what you're asking is what I was trying to get away from. =P You can hide Bartender as well.

My next goal is to make my addons a lot less dependent on bulky libraries that are needed for only one or two mods. http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj250/NyteBlayde/tentrui.jpg I labeled each addon.

I don't know if you've tried doing the same as SpellBinder with Dominoes. You can put the ability on a hotbar, bind it, then change the bar's opacity to remove it from your play screen. I know you're using Bartender, so I'm really asking if you've tried Dominoes because, personally, I've found it a lot better and it seems to have the same functionality that you're using a seperate AddOn for. Just curious. Hey, big D.
