Alliance UI...

I like that, it looks like it will save space on the screen as apposed to the horizontal design :x but also.. are we even going to need to see their HPs? I remember them saying something about the alliances splitting off, they could just put a X or fade out the color on the job symbol if their dead XD

Afaik certain parts/bosses in CT will be done by the 3 parties combined. Also looking beyond CT there will (hopefully) be more 24 man content later on, where the 24 people really fight together. The design off the interface needs to have future content in mind as well, no point redesigning it with every patch depending on the current 24 man content really.

I agree. The Alliance UI (and the Alliance system in general) should be built from the ground up looking into the future, not just "Well, this is what we want it for with this patch and we'll think about how to rework it later when things change." Doing it the latter way is just begging for inefficient UI design.
