I am a longtime ICEHUD + DIGITS user myself, especially for tanking. For my DK (which has become my main) I have been looking high and low for something that fits in that playstyle. Right now I am using OUF combined with magicrunes and Runevolution, but yesterday I checked out UNDERHOOD, which looks to be a all-in-one HUD add-on. Surprised not to see it mentioned here. That combined with DIGITS 2.0 would be sweet….

Was a former ArcHUD user, but switched to ICEHUD. Love Ice b/c it has an ArcHUD compatibility mode which looks just like ArcHUD did.

I started with metahud then when 2.0 broke it (for only a bit, but it was enough) I went looking for another hud... ended up with Dhud. But alas, the author decided to cease public production on it and I went back to metahud. Now I run a modified metahud made by nukin. For my unit frames I only run a hud when I'm soloing and then grid for raids and party. It works quite well and keeps my screen clean. Scourgedâ€™s last blog post..Facebook Connect

Currently using DaHud in conjuction with XPerl for party/raid portraits. Huds are best for getting info about yourself vs your target, so they're awesome for DPS, useful for tanks. For healers, they're best at reminding you when YOU need healing! Grendalshâ€™s last blog post..01b - N52te Setup FAQ

I tested many HUDs when I started playing WoW, but none of them really suited my needs. I good UI would have to completely replace my player/target frame, but as I’m quite happy with the setup of my frames, that’s not really needed.

A first step before getting a HUD could be rearranging your unit frames. All your frames are in the upper upper left of your screen? No wonder you consider using a HUD. If you’re not comfortable with rearranging your frames or want to disable them at all, HUDs can be an excellent option.

The only thing I use, that comes close to a HUD is:

When I tank I just love to have my health and rage in HUGE numbers in the very center of my screen.

Nice listing – I’ve used a couple in the past.

I’m downscaling my current UI and considering going back to a HuD over unit frames. My biggest concern is that being a hunter it is important to keep track of pet health and focus. I found that IceHuD did this well when I previously used it. However, being a sucker for pretty mods I wouldn’t mind trying MetaHuD (the range finder is also valuable for Survival Hunters – at least until 3.1).

Anyone know if MetaHuD has pet arcs as well as player / target arcs?

Just like Omenscourge said, only with ArcHud. I used ArcHud all through Burning Crusade, but when 3.0.2 came out, it just didn't work any more. That's when I switched over to IceHud. I still ArcHud better, but I haven't gotten around to going back, yet. I'm going to go do that right now. :-D Bacclorâ€™s last blog post..Sartharion With 3 Drakes Is A Tad Difficult
