for you bros that keep asking to help with yours. Uis are pretty personal things, no two Uis will be the same but I kinda want this to be like a starting point for you bros to get your Uis going.

Addons you better use if you're not a FeegMilkglass (its for butts)
Thats a good number off Addons I suppose, if you don't feel comfortable using all those at the same time or don't think you need to uses some of them thats fine. Start slow, Changing your entire UI in a day can take some getting used to so if you just want to ease yourself in then by all means be a babbie.
HOW I MINE FOR ADDON?!?!
Here I'll tell you how I set up my various Addons just as kind of a reference, If you don't like the way I Set my stuff you can change it to your liking or send a complaint to mirren. I'll also put picture I guess.
Bagnon: just Set it and forget it. It also lets you see whats in the bags of all your characters just by selecting the little portrait of yourself in the corner and switching to another toon.
Button Facade: Add a border to your buttons. Make it so you do have a border. Do what ever you feel is right with your bars. No real set up need, just find the button facade menu in your addons panel and choose which on you want
ClassTimer: I love classtimer, not only does it show any buff or debuff you want on your target, it also does the same for you, your pet, and your focus! I set mine to be just above my bars, and make them stack up in stead of down. To add buffs or debuffs to tracking just go into timers-->extra--> then add the spell you want.
Clique: lets you easily bind stuff to keys or key combos or mouse buttons or key and mouse button combos. The possibilities are endless! Setting your binds is straight forward and clique even has a little tutorial.
Docsdebugrunes: awesome for Dks compact addon that tell you all you need to know bout DK stuff like rune cooldowns duration of the infusion buff on your ghoul, size of the next blood shield if you choose to deathstrike after a hit. Its awesome
Dominos: I love dominos, perhaps my favorite addon, you can do pretty much anything you can think of with your bars and its easy to use.
Here is my set up You might not like they way I have my bars set but this is just an example.
Action Bar 1
Size: 12
Column: 6
Spacing: 13
Padding: 3
Scale: 122
Action Bar 2
Same as above
Action Bar 3
Size: 6
Columns: 6
Spacing: 30
Padding: 1
Scale: 77
Action Bar 4
Same as 3
Bar: 5
Size: 12
Columns: 12
Spacing:4
Padding: 2
Scale:86
Bars 6-10 are unused for but you can do with them what you will
These are numbers are scaled to my monitor so they might be a little different then what you desire but you can fiddle with them till they are right.
Elkanos Buff Bars: My preferred replacement for the blizzard buff icon. Pretty straightforward set up. Just drag it yo where ever you desire, you can add or remove buffs that you want to track through the options menu
Grid: Grid is awesome, I use it as a party/raid frames replacement but its also invaluable for telling who has aggro, who's dying, Who's dead, incoming heals, who has what debuff and a bunch of other junk. Setting up grid is an adventure in and of itself but thats more for healers and I assume they already know what to do. The base version of Grid works just fine as a party/raidframe. Set up can be a bit daunting just because of the sheer number of menus and sub menus but its pretty simple to set up once you get past them.
Omen3: Aggro meter. Useful for tanks and DPS who don't want to pull aggro and die like chumps (Revash). Pretty much set and forget unless you want to tweak the visuals. I personally have it set to transparent along with recount.
Recount: Dps meter to show how bad you are, why are you so bad, do 2k more dps.
SexyMap: Map mod lets you put all kinds of pretty borders and shit around your map. Also allows you to move it away from the top corner postion. I use the simple square preset because I don't like a lot of bullshit around my map. Maps are serious goddamn business and anyone who tells you otherwise is a communist sympathizer
SLData Text: This is a replacement for the regular menu bar, the one that shows your latency and all that other junk you hardly ever look at. To get to the config for this you have to type /sldt.
Tidy Plates and Tidy Plates: Threat Plates: the semicoloning pt 2 race to shoe mountain: Name plate mod that rules. They aren't as useless as the blizzard ones. They show who has aggro on what how much aggro, cast bars and other life saving tips.
ToolTip on mouse: it puts the tool tips on your cursor.
Deadly boss mods: Derp
Xperl: A UnitFrame mod that lets you change and move all the unit frames ever. I have mine set to not show party or raid frames because I use Grid for that. To navigate to the config menu just type /xperl and away you go.
Once you set up all your addons and stuff you might have a cool UI like this or a horrible abomination, Who knows?
If I missed something let me know, or if you need help or something.

Joining an arena match resets the cooldown on the crystal, so you can spam the shit out of it if you don't mind PVP. Or just spoiling some other guy's chances at winning PVP.
so someone should get ready to dust off the tank spec
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
I finally got to see that fight, get that section's achievement, and get a weapon from him no less!
Mirren, I need the hot tips for ring times.
This is the list ive got so far:
Hellfire - start + off CD because whatever
Reaver - start + again before she takes off + wait until she comes back down if it cools while she's up in the air
kormrok - start + off CD because whatever + maybe hold it for a bit if we're gonna get into the lust phase? Is there a set amount where it's "good" to hold vs bad to hold? Like, 30 seconds too long or?
Council - Literally the exact same as kormrok
Kilrogg - On our heroic attempt we were getting out of vision 1 at literally 2 minutes in, so that's pretty self explanatory. Then out of the second at 4:30 so thats probably a hold period.
Gorefiend - The first feast is at 2 minutes. The next is at 5. If I use the ring at ASAP 4 minutes, we can catch the last 15ish seconds of the second feast, which incidentally is the same time the proc lasts. Fun.
Iskar - vanishes on hp based yeah? I dont even know. I think if I use the ring every 2 minutes we literally never have it up for an add phase, but there's no way to get onto an add phase rotation without holding it for like a minute.
Socrethar - In normal we lust at about 1:50, in heroic its about 2:04, that seems pretty straightforward. it's also probably just an "every 2 minutes" after that as well, screw trying to sync with dominators, which I think happens anyway, they're pretty 1 minute consistent.
Zakuun - Oh hey a boss that's really short in normal and ? in heroic, that has a lust phase that'll be determined by our overall DPS and I dont even know how long to hold the ring for or if that's even worthwhile.
Xhul - Im not even gonna try to sync with this boss, there is entirely too much shit happening. If anything ill just wait until I get fel surged and then use it once I get back so he doesnt send me to the ass end of the room before I blow up
Mannoroth - Every 2 minutes, holding it to pop for when he himself actually is fightable (happening at 2:05 for us in normal atm). There's a lust on this I guess but jesus its like a 10 minute fight. We'll in fact probably be able to lust twice in heroic, so I dont even give a hoot. I guess it's probably best to maybe wait a few just to make sure im not popping it right as he fears or shadowforces us, because that will obviously ruin everything.
Archimonde - ? ... ???? /use avenging wrath /use Thorasus, the Stone Heart of Draenor
now what do I do?

Upgrade it with apexis.
LFR.
Attempt to get people online for mythic dungeons.
Raid.
PvP if that's your jam.
Alt.
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
it's true
new mage armor icons fulfill blizzard's duties towards class balance so far as mages are concerned
(no joke, that was the only changes mages got in one patch)
Ships constructed at a Level 3 Shipyard should now always be Rare quality or better with an increased chance to be Epic quality.
All rare creatures and NPCs in Tanaan now have a chance to drop a number of equipment blueprints for ships.

Don't forget the crafted gear, which goes up to 715/705
I don't really count crafting as a thing to do though as it just kinda happens, but sure that's an avenue for gearing.
Then again, that's a $15 pair of shoes
i afk in volmar. rogue fucker kills my bodyguard. so great. get to wait an hour for that to come back. i take a shower, watch a video, yadda yadda. come back with bodyguard. fly to a daily area. immediately he decloaks. kills bodyguard, then me.
fuck this game.
Katrina tried his usual pop all cooldowns gank on me the other day and I out trolled him in my shredder before dumpstering him. Released so fast I couldn't even spit on him.
Bodyguards really should be immune to pvp though. Both dealing damage and receiving it.
World has to feel alive etc etc
that's what i was doing, yes. very observant.
Wait he's right, we ARE on Cho'gall. How do those Auchindon and Laughing skull people play on our server???
I've encountered ganking alliance maybe once every couple months.
You don't really need a bodyguard to do the dailies and they only marginally speed things up.
It's really not that big a deal.
(World pvp servers were a great idea until they changed their pvp plans to include battlegrounds and introduced separate pvp gear.)
Must never be there when I go then.
But if not I will be there in spirit, talking shit about Pinfeldorf
Then get some people and hunt them down. You are Horde on Cho'gall, the population balance toppled over and has been cratering into the ground in your favor for as long as I can remember. The server's Blood Elf Paladin population alone outnumbers the entirety of the active Alliance.
Awww, how sweet! What kind of car? What kind of doge?!

and for some classes that gear was utterly awesome (warlocks!). so at the time, making a guild on a PVP server seemed like a good idea
now its just yet another stupid relic of release day that ruins everyones life
