How's my UI look?

Tried to keep it as simple as possible. the spells/buttons look a bit messy, but cant really fix that :)

Healbot in 25mans has all players in 2 coloumns, not taking up much space at all.

OLD UI + 25man healbot (the healbot is meant to be on the left side of the screen)

You do realize that there is already a thread dedicated to this sort of thing?

I'm afraid that I am not really a fan of your UI at the moment. Do you really need both top and bottom bars of Titan Panel showing? I also think you could do something better with your action bars, shrink them down, get rid of a few of your less used spells and maybe take out a couple of bars completly. To me it just looks like the Blizz UI with everything crammed into one corner.

Edit: Spelling.

I would have to agree. It looks and feels way too clustered. Though it's not my job to say that you can't go right ahead and use it, personally I go for the more "clean" and minimalistic UIs. But hey, if you like your UI, by all means use it.

Terribly cluttered and out of proportion. Elements take up tons of screen space. And everything feels like it got forcibly thrown onto the UI and scattered about.
Vastly inconsistent with no apparent theme. You've got one bar for the unit frames, one for the cast bar, one for whatever-the-hell-that-is-under-the-unitframe. And you made no attempt to make the basic elements match. I mean, how do you justify matching that Titan bar up with those unit frames and that minimap?
Terrible efficiency. Unit frames are still stuck in the top left, making them hard to see from the combat field. Whereas the combat field itself feels squeezed and oppressed by some useless elements pushing it inward.
Ugly. Random art just thrown around in an attempt to look nice. That minimap isn't pretty by itself, and it sure as hell isn't pretty when you throw it under Titan bar. (In before I'm an idiot. The art is terribly overdone and too alarming for a UI.) And you made no effort to really beautify any of the rest of the UI at all.

The problem is, you're trying to hard. You're delighted about what addons can do, and want to take it as far as possible to make a Super-UI. And in the process, you ignore the entire bigger picture. Keep things more subtle, and plan out a design that's more than just "hey addon X can do feature Y, that's cool, let's put that here".

Average for one of an author's first dozen tries.
