Actually... funny you should mention that... as the center section (unit frame panel) *is* made like the info panel... that's how you can switch unit frame modes like you switch info panel modes.

Unfortunately, the minimap and location are not a part of that and it actually has to stay that way for other reasons. Which means that regardless of the unit frame panel design, it has to work around the minimap and location boxes... though it does have the ability to interact with them (as in hide them when it wants to show a unit frame in their place).

However, when the 5.0 has all the alternate layout capabilities in it, it would be possible to relocate the minimap and location bar to a different place and create more healer friendly unit frame panels... which is the goal. (as well as minimalist layouts, etc.)

As a healer I dont have to look at the map to see whats coming I need to see heals and incoming heals (Is there a way you can integrate that also so it will show incoming heals, it would use a 3rd party lib though but it does make you more mana efficent) Understanably you wont be able to make all the fixes for everyone but as a healer I dont usually set my focus as we changeup healing asign based on the boss and there is just alot of wasted space I can see, but its better than having that AND healbot int he top left corner of the screen. Unless you can make the center section like the infopan. where you could then make diff plugins with diff options? (Dont know if thats possible. Otherwise no performance issues I saw, there were some issues that poped up with tooltips but it might of been a diff addon, 10man everything worked just fine, when we added a few ppl to the 10man raid and it changed to 15man the bol/ss/buffs all went away from the health bar and I swaped to 20-40man and was missing on them all. Its working good for me now and I got rid of an addon =) I dont think my GF noticed anything wrong either. Maly Raid when it changed to the drake figght the drake actions loaded into our petbars/aurabars just fine (was in issue in 4.20 IIRC cus I had a macro to show the bliz fame just incase)
