Damagemeters/CombatStats/Recall/etc: good or bad?

[Arethor]

I enjoy using them, as people have said, to tell how effective I am. Before my forced respec I was disappointed with the damage I was putting out. It just didn't seem like i was contributing as much as I could. After the respec I've found that I'm doing too much damage. I need to readjust my play style to accomodate for it. In UBRS I was drawing aggro too often because of it and my new super-crits. However in a place like Onyxia's Lair I was able to fully open up and was surprised to see myself now well outpacing the other casters in damage. Gave me a sense of satisfaction that now I know that I'm contributing to burning down mobs. Of course because of this change I now have to be more aware of damage in situations where the tank doesn't have as much aggro built.
