I've been around for every expansion's beta phase, and I'm always surprised by this kind of attitude. So many people seem to expect that every addon author gets into the beta right away, that every addon author has time to spent hours and hours updating all of their addons right away, and/or that updating addons just doesn't take any time at all. Most addon authors have a host of other obligations -- a day job, a family, a raid schedule to keep, a personal life outside of WoW -- that limit how much time they can -- or want to -- spend updating addons for a beta test that's months away from a release.

Eh touchy topic. I didn't mean by that that authors should jump on their updates right away.
I meant there was a lot of grumbling about the MoP as an expansion in general, not quite as much interest in it (likely due to the fact it's 4th expansion) and a few authors leaving mid-cata (with no real word whether they'll be back), that I thought, this expansion may be problematic addon wise if a lot of addon authors lose interest in the game. Recent comebacks and updates have made me hopeful as I've tried to convey with the previous post.

Bazooka and Barrel work just fine.

I realize there are addons that make it into beta with few changes. Some are on that list and have the note that release version also works on the beta. But unless an author specifies it in a forum topic or addon description or even changelog (or a user mentions it), I don't know to add it. I was not able to test this myself for the longest time cause addons weren't working properly on mac beta. Thanks, added to the list. Didn't even know Barrel existed.
