Maybe it'll be the change that gets me used to the hud, who knows XD. Still looking great though.
I do realize what you meant and that was what I was talking about... if you look at the current unit frames you have, the player, minimap/focus and target are all on a row together. The player location and mouseover goes under that. In a party, the player pet and ToT fit in the gap under the player/target unit frames and to the left/right of the location/mousover frame.

Now, look at the 25 and 40 man raid panels and you'll see that the player, pet, target and ToT are all using the "height" of the location/mouseover space while the raid units are taking advantage of the extra width of the upper space to the left and right of the minimap/focus.

In order to do what you're asking, I would have to switch the locations of the location/mouseover and the minimap/focus to the location is on top and the minimap on the bottom -- that way the player/pet/target/tot would fit across the top and the raid units under that.

But, if I reverse the position of the location and minimap, then when you're not in a raid, I would have to have the player and target unit frames on the bottom because that's where the minimap is now.

Follow?

EDIT: btw -- as a tank myself (my main) the health race bar is your friend... it shows you your health, your target's health and your health relative to their health all in one bar right in the field of play.
