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.

This rep grind to unlock Lightforged Draenei and Void Elves suuuuuuuuuuuucks
Way more likely to have had High mountain and Nightfallen at Exalted than those two
I didn't realize the shadow wings were attached to the heritage set though
I’m basically the opposite, I like the extra options for characters and I don’t really need a brand new race or class every expansion.
Plus the armor sets are pretty dope and so are Orcs and Trolls that stand up straight.
The Nightborne are a really neat addition because so much of Legion was spent with them and their uprising, with a whole raid freeing them from their corrupt ruler and the Legion. Having them join the Horde after being yet another neutral Expansion Faction is a really neat development.
Same with the Highmountain Tauren, albeit to a lesser degree since their story didn't go as far as Suramar's massive chain did.
But the LF Draenei and Void Elves feel very...forced? Like I know they set them up in the Argus stuff but HEY SURPRISE THERE IS A WHOLE RACE OF MAGIC GOTH ELVES feels like a real late expansion asspull because they needed to fill that Allied Race slot and didn't have any other good choices.
And the Lightforged are basically just Draenei, but More which is fine but not very exciting. Kinda similar to the High mountain but without the lengthy story.
If you're mainly interested in reaching current content you should move on. You can always come back to pandaria later.
I gotta grind grind it out! 20 more levels!
Cataclysm 80-85
Panda 85-90
Warlords 90-100
Legion 100-110
?
Well that’s what I get for assuming. Did a guild search using the armory on the blizzard site and found a <Puppy Parade> on Cho’Gall. Whoops.
Meh, not a big deal. Wanted to start consolidating anyways, if it’s a no go I’ll just faction change and get added to Shambler Milk instead.
Cho'Gall <Puppy Parade> is a few weeks old and exists for our Alliance alts, since the character limit has increased and it's also no longer hell for Alliance on Cho'Gall
Also, everyone in the alliance guild should have invite permissions.
I mean I could live with it if Blizzard was just like "No High Elves for the Alliance. Period."
But this stupid half-measure ass-pull is just so careless and lazy.
I mean High Elves are right there. They've been there the whole time. Since vanilla. They make sense.
But instead it's like "lol no, have some High Smelves instead"
But they could have done better than High Elves that shop at Hot Topic
Like...werewolves! They’re a race you can be! What!?!?
I do love how jarring they are with the rest of the Alliance races though
I honestly understand why people like the idea of these races but after several new actual races these all just seem like palette swaps to me.
