I recommened Deadly Boss Mods (DBM) a few days ago and now i hear of more customizable mod with warnings ill give ya the rundown here.And it Fubar compatable. Its good for ATLEAST 1 or 2 to have this to keep up with the action more accuratly.

BigWigs is a boss alert mod. It consists of many individual "boss modules", mini addons that are designed to trigger alert messages and timer bars for one specific raid boss each. Modules are activated when you target or mouseover a Boss, or if any other BigWigs use in your raid does. In most cases only one module will be running at any given time.
Features
Plugins

* Messages: Can be moved, re-coloured & locked.
* Bars: Can be moved, skinned to different textures(SharedMedia compatible), resized & also have an 'emphasis' feature to flash when they are about to expire.
* RaidIcon: Target painting (put an icon over a player that has been singled out by the boss).
* RaidWarn: Sending alerts to RaidWarning, tells & chat.
* BossBlock: Suppress "spam" sent by other player's bossmods.
* Comm: Syncing via the addon channel (so that the player don't have to be in combat range to trigger a message)
* Target Monitor: For enabling boss modules when you see them, instead of having them constantly enabled.
* Sound: Plays various sounds on different events(SharedMedia compatible).
* FuBar/Minimap: Button for easy access to the configuration menu, resetting running modules, and seeing what modules are active.

Extras

* Tranq: For keep track of hunters Tranq cooldowns, vital for some bosses.
* Proximity: For displaying players within a certain range on certain boss encounters.
* Test: Test your bars and warnings, and move them around.
* CustomBar: For 'PizzaTimers', create your own custom bars.
* Version: A query for not only the core BigWigs version, but also the instance version numbers.
* Flash'N'Shake: Shake and/or Flash the screen blue when something important happens that directly affects you, such as a debuff. (Off by default)
igWigs aims to be as efficient as possible (creating a lower memory per second footprint and using a lower amount of CPU than any other boss mod), as effectively as possible. When modules are written every aspect of the encounter is revised. Is syncing required? Is target scanning required? What events are really to be warned for. It also aims to have the latest boss modules out asap, that means that not long after the first few attempts of a brand new boss, it usually has a working boss mod.
Unique

BigWigs has a many things that make it unique to other boss mods, one is the 'Emphasis' feature for bars to grab your attention. Others include SharedMedia support so you can customize the look of your bars and choose different sounds for warnings. BigWigs can identify when you have wiped on a boss and reset the bars and timers. It is also the only addon to keep all events unregistered until you mouse over a boss, instead of registering all the boss events when entering an instance.

I plan on trying some of these mods out now that the patch is here. Eventually we may come to a consensus about what mods everyone must have on raids. I hope several people will try out these mods and post some feedback.

I've gotten a chance to use Omen in a few runs. This is a mod that everyone needs to get. As a healer I can tell when suddenly I've gotten aggro, allowing me to bubble as the MOBs approach. Unfortunately I only know if I've taken aggro form someone else with the mod. This will be a great tool in instance (raid and otherwise) once the whole party is using it.
