Gitr Knows WoW

Word is spreading across Azeroth that the much-beloved king of the dwarves has fallen ill, apparently from poisoning. Ironforge is on Code Red until further notice, and security forces in Stormwind and Darnassus are also on their toes.

Of course the usual suspects are being watched very closely. The Defias Brotherhood has gone into hiding and there are reports of supplies being run into the Deadmines. The most likely suspect is Varimathras, currenlty calling Undercity his home base. Elven spies are reporting that streams of Undead alchemists are infiltrating the dwarven borders with tainted Arcanite Bars.

I am looking for the best of the best interface addons for Deadr and Maimr, my rogue, on Burning Legion. I found a cool PvP video on YouTube this morning of a warlock going nuts all over, and he had a pretty neat Unit Frame mod. The portraits are actually your target or yourself, with animation and all.
