Well I recently helped out a guildy with getting Grid setup and running and thought I would post a little more details of my current setup

Obviously core component is Grid, which has been specifically designed to be extendable via addon modules so here is the list of my current addon modules for Grid
- Grid_QuickHealth (need QuickHealth library too) – this looks directly at combat logs to get quicker updates of damage and heals.
- GridAutoFrameSize – this will update your grid layout based on the size of your raid/group
- GridIndicatorCornerIcons – allow adding status etc to corner icons
- GridManaBars – adds mana bars to Grid… nice and easy
- GridStatusHots – view Hots as status
- GridStatusMissingBuffs – you can configure this to your liking but it will show you who is missing your buffs (need to select in grid config)
- GridStatusMTs – shows your tank numbers (from oRA2) to your grid window
- GridStatusRaidDebuff – this is a must, contains Naxx/Uld/Col Debuffs (which can be selected too)
- GridStatusRaidIcons – this will add Raid Icons to grid so you can see who’s marked as nipple
Now if you happen to like my Grid configuration you can copy the following into your grid config file here:
