Not been here for a while! Got myself a new fresh account with a decent username! Careface wasn't as good.
Here's a shot of my latest UI. I'll get a combat shot tomorrow after work for you all.
Can't post links, ugh! You'll have to copy and paste. :P

I like it, nice and clean. I just dont like whats on the Player and Target frame; Is it a 3D model of yourself and the target? or some weird texture. Focus frame is good.
Text on the timers and cast bar seem a bit too big, could be the outline or the font used.

My Soloing UI.
Why isnt Titan Panel configured? would look 1000000 times better with a custom skin, or just completely transparent, or only shown on mouseover....
why is the chat box black? you've basically removed a chunk of your viewable screen... make it transparent...
I like the unit frames, and the icon skin for them.
Why is your class icon showing? is it necessary for it to tell you what class YOU are playing?
Download Masque (i think it's called?) and skin those Action buttons and top buffs/debuffs
Get a nice tooltip addon to skin the tooltip frame border... personal preference here, but the original frame border makes my eyes bleed.
Also put your Micro frame hidden, make it show on mouse over... how often do you use it? doesnt need to be shown all the time.
Lastly, that frame above the chat frame is hideous. I'm not exactly sure why its there, there are plenty of other addons that do what it does while looking nice at the same time.

OOC is good, a few suggestions.
1. Have your microbar show on mouseover, its not like you're using it all the time that it needs to be shown.
2. Remove your bag bar, or just only show the 1 bag. (you can use B, or Shift+B to open your bags)
3. Remove some of the icons around the minimap, go in to configs and untick "show minimap icon"
4. whats the combat log for? is it possible to hide it out of combat?
5. Skin your buff icons the same way you did your spell icons.
6. getting picky here, remove the name, level, class and race from your player frame... Im pretty sure you already know those details to not have it showing.
7. You can actually move/drag your chat frame to the left a bit more to hide the arrow icons, looks much better
8. All your buttons and frames are square, and your minimap is circle and a different colour scheme. I dont know many minimap addons, but the most popular one is SexyMap, try that out and try and make it look like your action icons.
I'll comment about the combat screenshot later on.

Also do you know how to change the buffs to have the same icons as my spells?
I'm pretty sure (it's been a while), that you go to Masque config /masque, and there should be an option to skin the buffs.
As for the Combat feedback,
1. (if you've figured out how) I would remove some of the info from the party/raid frames as well, mainly level, class and race, you have class coloured bars which is good enough. Perhaps even shorten the height of the resource bar (mana/focus)
2. I just noticed the border around the target frame is rounded slightly, try and see if you can use a square border.
3. go to recount configurations and remove the blinding red coloured header bar. (even better replace recount with Skada, ive been using recount for 3 years and switched to skada, best thing ever.)
4. Use the same bar texture for your frames and bars. Recount, Player, Target, Party as well as the timer bars, make them all use the same texture. a nice plain flat one is always nice. rather than a '3d/rounded' texture.
5. ... why is the boss labelled as a 92 Paladin Ele... something... lol
6. To the right of the target frame are more debuffs, since you now have doubles showing, if its possible, remove your own debuffs so only other player debuffs show, or just remove it completely so you just have your own DoT timers. - Actually may be best to remove them, and have it show boss buffs instead.
7. Remove any buffs or debuffs that will anchor themselves to your player frame, since you already have them showing next to the mimimap.
8. I think giving a 10 pixel gap between the player and target frame will be good. Have the left side of the player frame aligned with the left side of the action bars, and same with the target frame with the right side.
9. Again, not quite sure what the go is with the combat log thats hidden amongst the party frames, is it a default feature with the blizz ui or an addon? Personally I just the the combatlog thats built in to the chat frame, I cant think of a reason to have it showing all the time.
10. Lastly, I think all that's left would be the Tooltip, its the only thing thats been left default, iirc the most popular addon is Tiptac, you can play around with that and get it to look the same as your other UI elements.

Thanks again for the feedback! I've spent the last few days messing around with my interface and here's the result:
OOC:
http://i.imgur.com/0mBXRKx.jpg?1
Combat:
http://i.imgur.com/s3dy2dN.jpg?1
I'm actually pretty happy with it overall. Downside is gameplay now feels twice as clunky, but who cares as long as it looks nice and shiny :) Still if anyone have suggestions I'm all ears.
addons that were added:
Masque Skinner: Blizz Buffs
SexyMap
Skada
Tiptac
Your OOC looks great.
I think the clunkyness you're talking about are the numbers shown on the player and target frames...
I can show you mine, even though its just ElvUI, you can see there's a lot happening but at the same time it doesnt feel clunky.

Yeah I was actually trying to remove those numbers but couldn't find the option, I'm sure it's there somewhere though..
What I mean by clunky is that theres abit more interface lag due to addons taking up too much memory. I'm not sure though, after playing with it abit it seems fine dependent on where I am.
Yours looks great, care to share what addons you use?
Yeah that can be the issue when you do make your own UI using a lot of different addons, on top of that you will also have long loading screens when you first log in.
I used to do my own custom UIs. but this year i've been lazy and couldnt be bothered, so I went with an addon pack. one of the most popular is ElvUI or TukUI. right now in that screenshot you saw is ElvUI (
http://www.tukui.org/dl.php
) with my own configurations added to it.
(except the stuff in the center of the screen is MSBT addon, and ofcourse Skada to the bottom right.)
The 3x4 action bar above skada is for my
Logitech G600 mouse

Each to their own.
My nitpick with yours though;
(personally me) just saying that I dont like my view being covered up, even though its a small portion, there will be those times where it would benefit having your bottom panels transparent rather than a solid colour.
Your micro bar doesnt realllly need to be shown all the time, i have mine in my top left corner hidden to only show on mouseover whenever I rarely need it.
You could also remove Omen 3, since you already have Skada. Skada has a built in threat meter already.
You can also remove those minimap icons which you would never use anyway.
and fix up those info text things do you really need to know how much free bag space you have? as well as what spec you're currently in and why is kgpanels there.
and lasty, you dont need your player name shown on the player frame, unless you have really bad memory problems and forget which character you're playing half way through a boss fight.
