Bear Tank UI addons?

I have been tanking for a while now and have now realized the helpfulness of using addons that help my rearrange my UI but i really don't have any idea what the current good addons are for that and if there are any tailored just for druid tanking. Could you give me any idea on that addons are good to use or that you use.
Stuff such as a lacerate watcher or a CD watcher or other stuff that would make my job a little bit easier and then i could pay more attention to the raid and less on my hot bar.
Any input would be great thanks.

I use DroodFocus on my cat, but it does a lot of the same stuff as a bear too. Tracks your debuffs on the mob, shows your lacerate count, rage bar, cool downs, etc.

I've heard Tidy Plates: Threat Plates is pretty amazing for keeping track of multiple mobs, have never tried it personally though.

I do, and it's great. Nameplates of stuff you have aggro on are small and green, if you're starting to lose threat it becomes bigger and yellow, if you don't have aggro on it it's big and red. I wish I had used it back when I did Thorim's arena.
Another, more general UI addon which I like alot is Vuhdo. Right clicking a dead person in combat uses Rebirth, right clicking them out of combat rezzes them, if they're out of range it shows an arrow upon mouseover showing which direction they are at ... not so useful just for tanking, but VERY useful in general imho.
Btw you can pretty much replace Droodfocus with any other timer mod like NeedToKnow, ForteXorcist, ButtonTimers etc.
And obviously if you don't have it already, Omen and Recount. Or Skada, which can be set to be like Omen in combat and like Recount outside of combat :D

In raids, it's nice to have to see which person is about to overaggro you (you can call them out to tone it down for a sec). Also, on trash, you can check stray mobs and see if another tank is on it or if it's munching away at a healer.
Omen is the first addon being mentionned whenever someone asks for tanking addons. I haven't had THAT much use out of it to say it's really vital, but other people seem to think it is.
