If you want to go above and beyond, I found it extremely useful to also track defensive cooldowns and externals directly on the unit frames. In case anyone is curious, my action bars are fully hidden and all icons/procs/debuffs are replaced with a combination of weakauras and tellmewhen instead.ġ) A solid addition would also be a raid frame addon I currently use Grid2 (Grid2 and Grid are totally seperate addons!) where you can track all the debuffs/buffs from the raid encounters which are applied to your teammates. It's only superior to TMW for graphical/heavy custom lua coded strings in my experience.

Also I heavily make use of the addon TellMeWhen, I find weakauras is way overrated for majority of UI tracking. There were actually some issues with the UI I hadnt managed to fix yet for this picture due to a harddrive reset messing up somethings (nameplates in the picture are not configured mainly). Here is my Blood DK's UI from just before the legion prepatch: Especially since tanking has now been so dumbed down in my opinion, you have a lot more mental RAM to work with. If you want to be the best tank you can be this will be going beyond your role and also watching what the raid is doing. That's a decent foundation but you missed a few in my opinion.
