I've not yet run all normal Cata instances and only part of heroic Vortex
Pinnacle but DBM seems to work fine for those I have been in.

Well DBM should work nicely still. If you want something that uses
Ace and has profiles then either BigWigs or Deus Vox Encounters (DXE).
From those two BigWigs is simpler and works decently out-of-the-box,
DXE has in my opinion annoying default settings, but it has a lot of
configuration options to get it to work exactly the way you want.

Anyway, checking their versions it seems for DXE and BW there are only
alpha versions in Wowace that have any Cata stuff, DBM claims on their
page to have at least some timers/warnings for most Cata bosses in their
latest version, but that they're still work in progress.

I'm still getting DBM errors on a few bosses -- the crocodile boss in Lost
City and Karsh Steelbender in Blackrock Caverns.

Unless I'm missing something, I would also suggest Deadly Bossmods. :o)

there is also an add-on called Robboss mod that tells you tactics for the
party on bosses

You are running into a common problem with any boss mod during the
first few weeks of a new dungeon or raid - the boss mod has not been
updated properly for the boss.

This is a really, really common phenomenon for all upper end raiders.
I think I learned half of Ulduar25, all of ToC25, and half of ICC25
without a working DBM, because my guild was 2-3 weeks ahead of DBM
updates.

Other guilds had already downed the bosses, so we had an idea of what
to look out for, so we weren't completely in the dark, but the boss
mod writers were obviously behind us in progression, so we had to do
nearly everything by hand.

This means stuff like calling out events over Ventrillo and setting up
your UI frames to looks for specific spells, debuffs, or auras.

Truthfully, after a while of raiding without DBM, you don't miss it.
It's tough initially, but you adjust.

Well, by DBM I meant Deadly Bossmods. :) And like I said, it should work
nicely still. :)

I used to be a big fan of DXE, but last I checked they'd not updated
it for Cataclysm, so I looked at a few boss mods.

At the moment I'm quite enjoing Raid Watch 2
http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/detail...

It seems quite comprehensive so far, and (unlike DXE) works for 5-mans
as well as raids.
