Burn or Heal?
I recommend Click 2 Cast over Clique. Clique was breaking for me quite frequently, often in the middle of a raid (nothing like putting cure disease on someone who needed to have a magic effect removed!). It has the same functionality as Clique and is an Ace2 mod.

Edit: Wanted to add that if you have Click 2 Cast or Clique, it's VERY rare for you to need Decursive. I have only a three button mouse and with ctrl, alt and shift, I've managed to bind all of my main healing spells *plus* all of my "decursing abilities" to my mouse buttons. I even managed to save the middle mouse button for those "special needs" abilities like levitate for Archimonde.

Edit two: I don't find a "packaged" Grid, per se, but here's links to Grid and it's "improvements":

Grid: http://files.wowace.com/Grid/Grid-r62183.zip

Grid Side Icons (this shows me who has shadow word: pain, etc): http://files.wowace.com/GridIndicatorSideIcons/GridIndicatorSideIcons-r55758.zip

Grid For Healers: http://files.wowace.com/GridLayoutForHealers/GridLayoutForHealers-r48360.zip

Grid HoT Status (shows who has HoTs on them): http://files.wowace.com/GridStatusHots/GridStatusHots-r62250.zip

Grid Incoming Heals Indicator: http://files.wowace.com/GridStatusIncomingHealth/GridStatusIncomingHealth-r60911.zip

There are of course several more of these. Personally, I think I only use the "Grid for Healers" and then customized it with Rhaze's help.

Thank you everyone for your contributions!

We still have no recommendations for physical DPS type people. Isn't there a rogue/hunter addon that helps you in raids? :)

Thanks!

Rogues: Raid wise? There's nothing in particular, honestly, although I use EnergyWatch and DoTimer, respectively

Hunters, I would very much suggest ZHunter, Fizzwidget's Hunter Helper, and Fizzwidget's Feed-O-matic. Thel may have a few more to toss in.

OH! And also one of my new favorite mods is Power Auras, which puts a large graphic on your screen for certain events. For example, I have a HUGE red exclamation mark that pops up if I enter combat without RF, an icon that means I have no seal currently running, and third icon that lets me know if I enter combat with Crusader aura active.

And while I'm thinking about it, ClassTimer is a nice Ace timer addon that I've found particularly accurate.

To addons not listed in the two beginning posts, I need links. :)

Links and blurbs. I haven't every played a hunter/rogue long enough to need addons so I have no idea what they do :)

Thanks!

All the addons I listed are Ace addons. Generic Ace website is:

http://www.wowace.com/wiki/Main_Page

I use the WoWAceUpdater program so have no idea what URLs are used for specific mods. The updater just fetches them all for me from the Ace website.

Recount is rather like WWS - it's a damage meter. It's one of those "preference" things. (direct DL link)

http://files.wowace.com/Recount/Recount-r62259.4.zip

SorrenTimers is like DoT Timer - it creates timers to track buffs, debuffs and etc. (direct DL link)

http://files.wowace.com/SorrenTimers/SorrenTimers-r58056.26.zip

Looks like ClassTimer is similar to DoT Timer and SorrenTimers - just customizable timers for things like HoTs, DoTs, etc. (direct DL link)

I know a few paladins (and now it's been mentioned by a hunter) use Power Auras. It basically gives you neat little semi-circle around your character to display when something "goes off". For example, Rhaze uses his to show when Light's Grace and spell haste have procced. It's decently customizable for whatever you want to see. (more info at the link)

The others Dazhbog mentioned I know nothing about but here are links to more info:

Zhunter: http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/2610/

Fizzwidgets FeedoMatic: http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/7851/

I didn't see Fizzwidgets Hunter Helper anywhere but I just checked Curse.
