This is the list of mods I use on my WoW. Note that some may not be useful to you depending on which class you play or your playstyle. I also have my own custom PHP based Ace updater script that I made which is designed for the Mac but can probably be adapated to work for other machines with PHP command line support installed. It downloads the no-ext versions of the mods so there is only one copy of each library. There are instructions in the file of how to edit it as needed to work for the mods you use. You can download it here. Let me know if you run into any problems.
