Figured some here might find my nameplate fix compilation useful - I
just posted it on the official forums to a thread full of people
unhappy with the changes (yeah I hate them too), but I've got them
fairly functional now:

----

I've mostly managed to get it working how I'm used to, with a lot of
tweaking. To stop them sticking at the top/bottom of the screen when
the mob is offscreen I used this, which certainly seems to have made
it behave fairly close to normal, I won't claim perfection but it's a
big improvement: http://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/20747644788

"    /run SetCVar("nameplateMaxDistance", 100)
SetCVar("nameplateOtherTopInset", -1)
SetCVar("nameplateOtherBottomInset", -1)ReloadUI()

    Change the 100 to whatever you want, it's just a max distance
variable for healthplate visibility. I believe 40 is the default."



To show names on nameplates all the time (that really should've been
an option rather than just tied to display of names) I found
http://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/nameplatenames which seems to do
exactly what I wanted.

And to get mob lvls back on the nameplates (why on earth remove useful
information??), I'm using
http://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/improved-nameplates

So yeah, 2 addons and a script just to make it function vaguely
normally. I like much of this patch but the UI changes are a serious
downgrade.
