I'm new to the game but trying to learn. Been reading quite a lot lately but now I am wondering how you have your UI set up, and hotkeys. Any special mouse-over macros etc?
Found a few good tips so far:
- Remove toggle sit (X shortcut) to avoid hitting it accidentally.
- Attach mouse-over Sunder to button 4
- Make shortcuts for raid icons / lucky charms (at least skull, X and sheep)
- Learn to use auto-attack on-off (I am new...)
- make shortcuts for the other FAQ macros. In addition try out a few of the ones mentioned here:

Test a few add-ons:
Overview: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/addons/
Auctioneer Add-on: http://auctioneeraddon.com/dl/
Threat meter: http://wowace.com/wiki/Omen (vent til etter patch 2.4)
Swing / cast timer: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/details/7960/
Any other tips?
I am off to practice using mouse view and TAB to cycle targets...

Outfitter. It will change your outfits (tanking, dps, etc) in a second, it sure beats off tanking and selecting every slot to equip your tanking gear, then after that mob doing it all over for dps gear. Will save you time later on when you have a noticable difference in DPS Vs. Tanking set.
That's all I got... for now.

There are not that many for warriors in my opinion; actually, come to think of it, i don't think i have any tailored specifically for a warrior except Tankpoints.
what i use:
arcHUD (cant play without it)
Cooldowntimers2
Titan panel
Omen Threatmeter
Bigwigs
Tank Points
Itemrack
i tried a mouseover macro, and i just didnt like it.
tab target+thunderclap+demo shout works well.
Opening a group fight with a frost grenade, or any AOE grenade helps for multi target tanking.

Omen Threat Meter
Deadly Boss Mods
ItemRack
Swing Timer- good for getting those Imp Slams down
Xperl - helps organize my screen

Just another option, I use ClosetGnome for my equipment switcher, it plugs into Fubar really nicely.
-Bigwigs
BigWigs is essentially timers and warnings for boss fights. This mod will tell you stuff like when Moroes vanishes, how long before he returns, and who he garrotes when he did return. It'll tell you the time between repentances on Maiden. It'll alert you to who is little red riding hood in the Big Bad Wolf Opera Event. It will also give you a convenient timer bar with this information. Its that kind of info that makes coordinating 10 or 25 people easier.
-Littlewigs
Similar to Bigwigs but made for 5-man instances. Tells the party who gets "Murmur's Touch"..etc.
-ORA2
ORA2 is a background Raid communication mod. It has the exact same function that CTRaid does (if you're familiar with that), but it is much less resource intensive than CTRaid. Its also a foundation-type mod that provides other mods with raid-relevant information to display. It is a necessity for 10 or 25 man raiding.
-Ace2
Ace is a backend mod library... It's the foundation that all mods downloaded from wowace.com use. It doesn't do anything by itself, but needs to be present for any Ace mods to function.
-Omen
-Fubar (Similar to Titan Panel)
-FuBar_ClockFu
-FuBar_MoneyFu (tracks money, daily spendings, weekly. $$ on each atl and main)
-FuBar_DurabilityFu (good for auto repairs at NPC's who repair)
-FuBar_PerformanceFu
...and some other Fu!
-Bartender bars
Note:
Bigwigs uses the "SKULL" mark on party members who get the Garrote from Moroes, Holy Fire from Maiden...etc. If you use that for your markings it might be wise to remove it. Use "X" and "Triangle" for your MT/OT targets instead.
