This addon
I found recently is dead, gone burger, kaput.... You get the idea. Basically it's considerably better than anything else I've seen on the general subject and was wondering if anyone knows of one that does the same thing or perhaps would take the time to recreate it.

PlayerScore (a.k.a. GearScore) not only inspect others, it scans everything. Once it has done its job, it's not that heavy to run. Although, I recently re-enabled this addon (lack of RAM... overall) and everytime I scan something, myself including, the game freezes for 2 or 3 seconds. Note that this only happens when you open its UI. It can inspect and scan player without it. It will be displayed in the player's tooltip.

I'm considering using this as a quick and dirty way to see if my raid group are using the right gems/enchants and so on, is Player Score accurate enough for this or not?

As far as I know, it only tells you if a player is missing enchantments, gems and not if the gems or enchantments are the right one for a given class. What would PlayerScore tell you if a mage has spirit gems in bleu socket for example? I don't know.

See that's the kind of thing that I'm keen for, a sort of Raid Leaders addon that tells you about your groups gear if you don't understand that perticular class that well (I mean personally, being full time and all I just don't have the time to play every class and do all that research. I have enough trouble with my own). I'm sure there would be pleanty of people out there keen for an addon like that, and while it would be alot of work to set it up, if it was a group effort to maintain it, say 1 person of each class kept their class data updated, it would been fairly simple to maintain. I can see the problem being with how some classes there is alot of conflicting information aobut them, I know DK guides were just horrible for the first few months of cata.
Between Gear Score in wrath and ilvl now we have lost sight of the really important part of being well geared, it doesn't matter what the ilvl is, or how much of a stat something has, what matters is what stats, what gems and what enchants. You could have a hunter, for example, who still uses leather cause thats what he thinks is his stuff, since that's what they start out in. He could be 366 ilvl, but might have a pvp trinket with spirit on it.
I'm going to stop ranting now. But please can someone make something like this.

The only pity with PlayerScore is that it doesn't show if they are sub par gems and enchants, like what wowheros does.

The other thing I though of about it is how it has that short list on the summery page of things like "All items are enchanted Yes/No" it would be nice if, when it said there were 1 or 2 unenchanted that it showed you which ones when you hover over that text.

Yes but I'm saying that it should say it. Especially if it's just like 1 item or something, sometimes that can be a hard thing to spot with the way enchants are shown on tooltips. Sometimes they look alot like reforges, especially on healers reforging to spirit.
