Back in the day I would mod my WoW to hell and back, but I grew tired of updating after each patch. It's been over a year since I've had a mod (Carnival PvP Enemy Cast Bar), but the other night I grew tired of trying to decode post on Allakhazam about quest locations.
My goal was to download only something that told me cords, but I ended up with a whole lot more...
I downloaded the following mods...
Cartographer - A great map mod that allows other users of the mod to share their learned locations. Also, guild mates can see each other's location on the map, even while ungrouped.
Titan Bar - This one is self explanatory since a ton of people have it, but for those that don't, this mod places an informational bar at the top of your screen that displays useful information.
Natur PvP Castbar - This is like my old Carnival cast bar, only better. This mod lets you see any spell being cast near you, and also shows the cool-downs of people you target. This mod is a must for any serious PvP'er.
Auctioneer - This mod is even more self explanatory than Titan Bar. This mod is widely known, but just in case you live in your mother's basement and share a WoW account with your Uncle Leeroy, then I'll explain. This mod scans the auction house and remembers prices for you. This is helpful when you're out in the world and need a price check. This mod also sets a posting price at 5% below the lowest priced item of that type already on the AH. This is nice since A) It makes sure your items almost always sells, and B) It does all the math for you, and who really likes math anyways?
CT Mail Mod - This is a simple mod that manages your mail for you. The best feature of this mod is that it lets you do mass mailing without getting carpel tunnel. You can mail multiple items in one letter, but you still have to pay the regular postage fee, and the receiving person receives the items in multiple letters.
I did not download any UI's since I've never found a need for them. I have key-bindings set for almost all the spells I cast, so I don't need to improve the area to 'click' on since I never click anything .
I might still get Telo's Lootlink if it's still active, and maybe a bag mod since those look nice. Any suggestions on a bag mod, I know there's a couple popular ones out there right now...

Nice. You might want to try these.
Trinity Bars-cleans up a lot of extra bar fluff
X-Perl: lots of handy info, looks good and handles raid UI
And then the standard pve stuff like KLM aggro meter and SWS dps meter.
Natur-I approve of this wholeheartedly
A good bag mod is OneBag from files.wowace.com
Thanks for the quick response; I'll give these a shot tonight when I get home.
Hi,
I’m glad to inform you that I added your website to search-wow.com! And I'm also very sorry to post that here, but I wasn't able to find a contact form :(
What is Search-WoW.com?
Search-WoW.com is a search engine dedicated to World of Warcraft. Based on Google, it only searches on a specific list of websites selected for the quality of their content. Therefore, Search-WoW.com returns more relevant results than Google most of the time. And of course, it also filters all the crappy websites full of spam for who knows what (You know, the kind of websites that tends to appear in the 5 first results of Google :-)). In two words, it’s a kind of directory that uses the power of Google for the searches. Human selection with the power of Google!
Of course, some very interesting websites are still missing from Search-WoW. Unfortunately, I’m sure that I don’t know all the good websites on WoW! That’s why I would be very thankful if you could check the list of the indexed websites at http://www.search-wow.com/about.html and tell me if you know some sites that should be included.
I hope that you will like Search-WoW.com and I would be very pleased to have your feedback. So let me know what you think with this form. And if you really like it, you can always digg it :-) (or reddit it, or delicious, or whatever you prefer !). Or better, feel free to write a small post to tell your visitors about Search-WoW! I'm sure one of them knows some interesting websites to add to the listing :)
Cheers,

Baggins. It's ace based, and provides and all-in-one view. And more. It'll actually also sort your view of the bag. Quest items in one place, Weapons in another, Armor in yet another. In my setup this leaves vendor trash down at the bottom where I can quickly sell it off. I also created an "Unbound" category to keep stuff seperate for if I want to auction it or pass it on.
Titan was nice, but was a huge memory hog. Fubar has all the same functionality, and as many plug-ins as Titan. And being Ace based, much easier on the memory.
I run a mostly Ace-based setup. (Cartographer is Ace-based. Baggins and Fubar are two more.)
There's even a WinAceUpdater that I regularly run, daily, that goes out and makes sure I have the absolute latest versions of these add-ons. Stuff gets updated daily.

Thanks for the tip Kinless, I was wondering why I was so laggy, and I bet it's due to the memory usage from Titan. I'll remove it and give FuBar a try.
