Before we talk about mods lets talk about wowace:
wowace started as a whole bunch of libraries implementing common stuff lotsa mods used, mainly to ease development but also to reduce mod bloat. they spawned a big community of mod writers that focus on writing light weight and well coded add ons. i say this because generally speaking if there is a wow ace addon alternative to a common addon its better, if only cause it will more often than not use less memory.
wowace also has a really cool tool called wowaceupdater, u point it 2 ur addon's folder hit f10 and bam updates all ur mods, makes patch day less of a pain.
Raid mods:
new:
pallypower (sic of pst'ing nubtard retalols for a bok? get pally power than they will have no excuse for fucking up ur blessings)
incubator (trash timer, will b updated for ZA within a week)
Omen (duh, for info omen is a wowace rewrite of ktm)
oRA2 (raid management, very cool. alternatives are ct raid assist)
Big Wigs (same as dbm, but wowace, big wigs is actually written on the fly by the guy for nihilum wen there facing new encounters, it is always up2date)
Grid (small compact raid unit frames that are infinitely configurable, very awesome)
Assessment (meters for everything. alternatives are recount, wws. violation, swstats and dmg meters, i like assessment though cause it puts the party dps into fubar. btw do not QQ in /ra about wanting 2 c dmg meters or any other meter u wanna c it, d/l the addon.)
