OzRaid 
Reccomended with: oRA2, Clique!
OzRaid is a raid/party window 'construction kit', designed to let you build clickable showing health/mana/buffs/debuffs/etc. for raid members and or targetted mobs.
Unlike other mods, this lets you build custom windows depending on what information you need only. For example, a raid leader may want to see the whole raids health status along with the major buffs (AB, Fort, Pink paw, etc.) so they can see at a glance if everyone is buffed & ready. Healers can show certain groups or classes (or the CT/oRA2 Main Tanks) on special big bars that only show current HoTs & debuffs, with the health deficit shown in the new 'Big K' numbers that show you quickly & easily what size heal to use. DPS'ers can make a replacement for the default 'Main Tanks Target' window, which will not only show raid icons (very useful for targetting when the raid leader is shouting 'kill the orange' in a mass of mobs), but also can be customised to show only the debuffs you care about - such as Curse of Elements, Sunders etc.
You can even make non-clickable info windows, for example all the raid members within 30 yards who are in groups 2 & 4 who dont have your class buff. These let you make reminders that will pop up if anyone in your assigned groups requires a rebuff & they are in range. There are too many different combinations to list, so the best thing to do is start with a preset and play with all the options till you work out what you want!
Basically, for each window you can specify the input units (i.e. my party, the raid, targetted mobs, Main Tanks, etc.) and then apply filters (hide based on class, group, etc.) Finally pick the display options that suit you, and which buffs/debuffs you want to see on the bars. Simple!
Fully compatable with Clique & other click-to-cast mods that use Cladhaire's system for registering clickable windows, so I reccomend using these for click-cast decursing & the like!
Frequently Asked Questions:
---------------------------
'I made a window but I cant click on the bars!'
With patch 2.0, Blizzard forces any 'clickable' window to be locked during combat. What this means is the unit ID for a bar cannot change in combat. So, if you have selected any option in the OzRaid options that would require the units to change (i.e. filtering or sorting out people based on range, health status). These options are still there after 2.0 so you can make info windows such as an emergency monitor, but unfortunately this means you cannot click to target or cast.
'So.. isn't it like CT Raid Assist?'
No. All it does is show unit health/mana bars (and raidicons, buffs etc.). It doesnt provide any of the other cool things CT does (like boss warnings, and many more) This addon was written simply to provide a smaller & neater overview of the raid than the CTRaid and Blizzard party frames. But it now does so much more.
It also works in parties & solo as well as raids 
UPDATE: CTRaid is apparently discontinued, so to get the same effect, use oRA2 instead. Ozraid will integrate with this to show main tanks (& allow you to set main tanks via the right-click menus on the player bars)
Slash Commands
-------------------
/ozraid [n]
/oz [n]
Open/close window [n], if no window specified (orit can't find it) it opens the options instead.
/oz reset
Reset config to default (one raid frame, one raid pets frame, a Main Tanks, and a Main Tanks Target window, all with the default buff config applied)
/ozbuff record
Start recording buffs/debuffs seen. these will appear in the buff panel under 'RECORDED'. There are a LOT of them! Use this to add buffs/debuffs that are not already listed, i.e. boss debuffs & the like.
/ozbuff stop
Stop recording!
Please tell me the name & texture name of any you find using this, and I can add them to the list of known buffs 
Please read the README in the zip file - much more detail & some tutorial frames!
Any comments, questions - use the Mod Thread!
If you REALLY like it, or just want to be nice to me, then please feel free to bung us some beer money:

Disable in party!
Hi there,
Played around with this a lot today, and have to say it's pretty neat. Loving the flexibility (and, as everyone always is, hoping for more ). Alas, I've gotta turn it off now because while there's an option to disable it when solo, there's no option to disable it while merely in a party -- for me, anyway, this is a raid display mod, and I don't need any of it in a 5-man group. Tack that option on and it'll replace CT_RA for me. Edit: One more thing, I almost forgot! Really really really would love to have mouseovers on the buff icons so I can see (for example) how long those ABs are gonna stay up -- that's one thing that I'd really miss if I ditched the CT_RA groups at this point.

Re: Disable in party!
I am currently working on adding the same tooltip info that CTRA has - so if you have CTRA running then you can see the buff times, AFK timers etc. that CTRaid keeps a track of.

Re: Re: Disable in party!
Only other major addition I'd love to see would be something similar to MetaHUD's color-picker page for choosing custom gradients for the various bars. That'd be awesome. Oh, and along the same lines, control over various alpha levels (like for the out-of-range fade, for example). |

I am planning to add full colour contro for all the elements (and bar textures), tho I dont know how much (if any) will be in the next release.
There is a beta available at curse (or ui.worldofwar.net) which has a few new things |

Clique
I was wondering if you could add support for Clique, which is a great addon for activating spells and abilities with clicking on frames. http://www.wowinterface.com/download...fo.php?id=5108
I know I posted this little message on curse as well, but I really really like your raid bars, and since I use Clique, would be awesome if they could work together.

I have contacted the writer of Clique, and added a small bit of code that should make it easy for him to add a plugin to Clique to support it
There is a new version (at time of writing it is awaiting approval) which fixes a few things, and adds many more, including Bar Textures (Woo!), CTRaidAssist integration, and Raid Target Icons! Share & Enjoy |

I haven't tried oRA yet...
Im not sure it would work, as I read the stats array straight out of CTRA. From what I read, oRA just proceses the messages so that people using CTRaid can see your buff timers, etc. but it doesnt have the timers in itself (no visible UI? or am I wrong?) Even if it did, I doubt oRA uses the same names for the array and data, so I would not be able to get the info I need for the bufftimers etc. with the code as it stands. If the info IS in there somewhere, then I can add spport in a future version - but thats a lot of if's |

Oh no, just as I thought my todo list was getting manageable...
1) Possibly... That can go in the whole preset/stored config pile. I like the ideaof havingtriggers for various setups. Can't promise it anytime soon tho 2) Um... maybe. I don't use either atm, will have to investigate. Low priority one Im afraid. 3) The CTRA integraion is basically limited to reading the CT states for buff timers/etc. for the tooltips. I didnt think oRA handled these (it replies to requests by CTRA users, but I dont know if it stores the info itself). Never heard of BigWigs I'll look into them when I get the time.Bar textures are .tga files - bar1.tga to bar11.tga. Feel free to replacewith your favourite textures At present, I only show the icon for a debuff you can dispell. I dont need to know what the debuff is, just show the first dispellable one. My plan is to let it show up to 4 debuffs in the 'buff' slots when a player is debuffed, and let you filter which debuffs to sow (possibly all to be honest, as you rarely get more than 4 debuffs, exceptmaybe on Chromo at which point your kinda screwed when you get your 5th one anyway) Filtering them would require knowing all the possible debuff textures paths that you want to show/hide (not as easy as just knowing the debuff name). It was bad enough having to get all the texture paths for buffs Oh, and as to the memory, my excuse is that I have 8x as many windows than Perfect Raid I'm looking into it - currently adding a more allocate on demand ability so it starts of much smaller on load. If you open 8 windows it will still use the sameamount as now, but forless windows it will use less
