Ellesmere UI
Ellesmere is a high level Holy Paladin player who has put out a brand new UI Suite in Midnight called "EllesmereUI".
EllesmereUI is a fully modular UI suite designed for players who want complete control over their interface without sacrificing performance or simplicity. Every element is built from the ground up to be lightweight, responsive, and easy to configure.
At the heart of EllesmereUI is a powerful visual editor (Unlock Mode) that allows you to move elements, anchor them to anything, and easily match their width and height to other elements. Whether you prefer a minimal layout or a fully tailored interface, EllesmereUI makes it effortless to design a UI that feels uniquely yours.
Targeted Spells on Raid Frames
Healers have fought long and hard since the addon changes for some of their previous functionality back. First, healers had to fight by doing really terrible workarounds in order to show baseline class buffs due of a lack of buff and debuff filtering. This eventually caused Blizzard to add priority buff sorting for important healer buffs on frames.
When Season 1 launched, healer had issues with dispels not showing a glow because the UI was not set up to handle Private Aura'd dispels. This lead to Blizzard removing dispels as Private Auras for a short while, before fixing their base UI and then making the dispels Private Auras again.
Today, Ellesmere has announced the return of another feature, targeted spells on raid frames. Healers have been asking for this functionality since the addon changes, and Ellesmere has announced that this will work as part of the Ellesmere UI Suite and the Ellesmere UI standalone raid frames.

This is the first time that this functionality is possible since the addon purge in Midnight, and allows healers (and group members) to see the targets of casts using their raid frames only. Many healers used this in the War Within, as the functionality helps players pre-emptively track where the damage is coming from before it hits. It's hard to see the targets of a couple casters in a massive pull from only nameplates, and it's much easier to see who the casts are on by looking at clear indicators on their raid frames. This will allow healers to prep for a bolt, or important cast by using an external or large heal, or for a DPS will allow them to preemptively use a Health Potion or Defensive before the cast lands.
In the clip, you can see the first pull of Magister's Terrace where the raid frames are able to track the targets of the Arcane Bolt and Ethereal Shackles casts. It's a lot easier to track the targets of these spells versus tracking them on nameplates, and this is only a 5 target pull!
