Hmm.. I might wanna put the party more to the right side.
Yeah, you could prolly do with minimizing the party bar a little also. In that screenshot your party bars and portraits are now taking up more space than the original WoW party bars did. It may look better but it hasn't actually increased your view space. It's time to reduce the size a bit. The 3d portraits are eye-candy but not exactly good in a raid setting, as they are distracting, and big and can be taxing on lesser graphics cards. I usually go with a very small 1d portrait.

You don't really need percentages on party health + mana bars if you have numbers on, I usually use one or the other. Both of them at the same time is fine for mobs and bosses, but anywhere else is really for healer interests only.

I'd move the interface a bit to the left , maybe even the right, and resize it at least 5 integers down. I'd also resize party buffs a little lower.

All these things are mainly for raid settings, I am quite picky about reserving space and the things mentioned may not bother you if they remain. Me though, I like to have as much of a view as I can, while not skimping on essential info.

Make the party bars smaller.

Remove party buffs, you don't need to see them.

Move the party bars to the left. I suggest putting your portrait just to the right of the chat box, Like I did on my screenie, then move omen to the bottom right corner.

Should free up some space.
