I hate the new interface as a tank.

pull a group, try to target something, can't because the health plates are all stacked on one another and I can't click any of them.

Boss puts a debuff on me, I hit the cleanse button and then the self-target button. Now this makes it target me instead of keeping the boss as my target, so I need to retarget and start attacking the boss again. This one isn't as big as deal as the first one, but it's still annoying.

Look in:

Interface - Names - Unit Nameplates - Allow Overlapping Unit Nameplates.

The V key (unless you've remapped it) turns them off completely.

I will take this moment to plug again one of my favorite new interface features, the buff box. It puts long-term and very short-term, spammy buffs into a stack of icons so that you can notice more important ones when they pop up.

There is a similar new option for restricting only your debuffs on the target (in case you don't care about what the Shadow Priests are doing, but you really want to notice Sunder Armor, Thunderclap and Demo Shout.)

It's not for everyone, but it might be useful to some of you.

Interface - Buffs and Debuffs - Consolidate Buffs and Castable Debuffs.
