If someone makes a deadly boss mods type addon for ARR would you use it?

I don't particularly demonize addons like DBM. Really what it did was allow you to focus on your cahracter a little more because (at least for the classes I played) there was a lot going on there with cool downs, DoT timers, pet bar/health/position, DPS rotation etc. Having something to make a noise to pull me out of my hunter/warlock DPS trance was a good thing.

If you have a personal vendetta against a DBM type mod, my advice? Don't use it. I played WoW for years add on free, even did a little raiding without it. A few times I got booted for not having DBM or some such nonsense, but after the first few I learned to lie. How the hell do they know what add ons you have and what ones you don't? They can't see your screen, and frankly it's none of their business, but if you having it makes them feel all warm & fuzzy inside, let em think you have it.

Edit: The one addon I really didn't like I think* was called Pally-power. It literally told you what button to push for your tanking and DPS rotations. Completely took out the need to think about what key to press, when, and why.

IIRC there is, well use to, be an addon that was able to tell you if people were using certain addons like omen threat meter and DBM etc...

DBM is a very good tool, at one point it was so hard to raid without a tools like this, sure maybe people got away with it but not many. Now in days in WoW though it is definitely not needed since WoW has pretty much adopted a lot of the stuff DBM did for you.

It really doesn't matter whether you need DBM or not though, if your raid leader says you need it to help perfect fights in any way possible you should just get it. All it does is make bad players better and great players greater, though there is still bad players that suck even with it lol. You guys know how fast it is to download addons? lol, I'm starting to feel that people complaining in this thread are doing it merely for the purpose of complaining. No big surprise though *flips through the pages of general discussion.*
