http://www.wowinterface.com/download...herWabbit.html might be nice for you.

--Fully customizable name plates. This might be found in an addon that already exists. A way to change size, layout, give a color-coded class indicator and role indicator, as well as text and background color (color of bars) and font.
http://www.wowinterface.com/download...ualPlates.html will scale the nameplates depending on how far a mob is away from your camera.
http://www.wowinterface.com/download...idyPlates.html has a number of skins available to download, if none of them suits your needs then you might try making one yourself or asking help from the author (danltiger)

--Sonar for finding bodies on the floor.
Possible, but a bit tricky. http://www.wowinterface.com/download...16249-AVR.html comes to mind though, and the boss encounter addon called AVR encounters might help even more. http://www.wowace.com/addons/avr-encounters/ . Other then that, you could use Clique or healbot to bind Rebirth and Revive to mouse clicks like shift right click.

--Audio cues for buffs and debuffs. Could get messy in a raid however.
Could be done with triggers in http://www.wowinterface.com/download...attleText.html http://www.wowinterface.com/download...asClassic.html is also very popular (however visual cue's are more the idea here).

--Something to replace the tiny dots on the (mostly useless to me) minimap. I always get lost heading to instances or finding my corpse. An addon for this embarrassment would be cool. Call it "Are We There Yet?" Hehehe.
Tricky... http://www.wowinterface.com/download...Blipstick.html replaces them. But I'm wondering if an arrow to your corpse or to the entrance of the instance might be better. In that case, use http://www.wowinterface.com/download...32-TomTom.html (also written by the author of Clique).

--What would really be cool is a 'trail' addon on the actual game screen, not just maps or pointer arrows, where I can get my bearings and follow people to instances when I have serious trouble seeing areas.
Like I previously said, this is a rather tricky part, since the rendered game area is not possible to acces by addons.

--A larger chat window very easy to handle, with customizable fonts, text and background color, etc, but perhaps with buttons for /say /raid (might already exist)
Can be done with the standard game options, look under Social, then uncheck simple chat and lock chat. After that you can resize the chatframes (You need to unlock them after this again though). http://www.wowace.com/addons/prat-3-0/ or http://www.wowace.com/addons/chatter/ are addons to modify the behavior of your chat frames. http://www.wowinterface.com/download...2-ChatBar.html for buttons to /say or /party.

--A threat meter I can actually see! I hear Omen is great, but I run into the same problems, not being able to make out the text, font, etc.
Omen is defenitely the best threat meter, and yes, it can be scaled as you like.

EDIT: Also check out http://www.wowinterface.com/download...to-Speech.html. It features sounds for boss events (instead of the normal "ding" sounds).
