Tool/Mod recommendations for raid leaders

While I know this is not really a tankadin specific question, I know many of you in here are responsible for leading your own raid groups, and I was looking for some recommendations/suggestions on some mods that may make my life a bit easier.

Currently here's what I have been using:
# Damage Meter (changing views on it regularly from Over Damage done, to specific damage on this boss fight, overall healing done, current DPS, etc)

# KLHTM (threat monitoring (slowly but surely switching the rest of my kara team over to Omen)

# The Raid Status Monitor built into CTRaid (I use it for a quick check to see what our healing classes mana is like before I pull the next group of mobs)


I am wondering what else is recommenced, whether it is while we are raiding, or something to use after the run is complete so we can figure out where we need improvement.

Use it. Love it. Worship it.

Get yourself set up and make sure at least 1 ranged and 1 melee tank are submitting a report every raid. You will learn lots about where your raid needs to improve.

The raid-leading specific stuff that I use it;

SimpleRaidTargetIcons - I'm also the target assigner and MT, this is awesome for flagging stuff up.

BigWigs - I use this for announcing timers on all the bosses, it's quite nice, strongly recommend to people.

Recount - Excellent damage tracking mod, also records a lot of detail about incoming damage, making it great for reviewing a fight and how it went.

Omen / Threat / ThreatToKTM - Stop using KTM now, just use the ThreatToKTM module, and then harangue your raiders to switch. It's just better, although I believe it malfunctions against Onyxia (we had some weirdness going on when we 8 manned her).

CTRaidAssist - I still use this for the MT target frame, and the raid status frame. I use Grid for viewing the raid though. I don't use CTRA_BossMods.

Grid and PerfectRaid are still your two best Raid Frames.

Switch from KTM ---> Omen NOW. It's not even funny how much better it is.

Deadly Boss Mods or BigWigs for boss announcements.

Do not use CTRaidAssist. Use oRA. You'll be much happier.

And use http://www.lossendil.com/wws/

I also recommend having your raid targets keybound.

If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?

DamageMeters are highly inaccurate, no two people in your raid will ever post a similar report even when sync'd. SW Stats is much more synchronized and accurate.

Don't use KTM. Use Omen! Lightweight, more accurate, and won't make people in your raid with crappy computers lag.

Use ora2 instead of ctra. More lightweight, better functionality.

XRS requires setup, but you can configure it to see if raid buffs are up, dead people etc.

thank you for the suggestions all. I put several of the mods you recommenced to use, and found that it greatly helped me determine where (& whom) we needed improvement.

You guys rock.

I used to use RDX pretty religiously pre-BC. Around the time BC hit most of its existing functions broke pretty hard, and I just found different mods to manage everything I had it do before.

I would recommend Omen, but KLH works well.

Damage meters, Swstats or WWS seems nice.

For raid frames, I use AG_uf for that because it's so small. I will never go back.

and use oRA2 instead of CTraid. much much better.

KTM (still haven't been convinced to use Omen yet)

oRA2 (MT targets, zone checks, etc)

Grid (raid frames)

XRS (quickly check raid status)

RLAssistFu (handy countdowns)

SWStats (great synching damage meter)

NECB (castbars)

BigWigs (bossmods)

WIM (WoW Instant Messenger, for managing tells )

GuildFu (for easily seeing who's online)



those are all things I wouldn't want to raid without
