Default Equipment Manager
BEM-Button ,

Curse
Crossdresser
A bridge between the dual-spec system and the default equipment manager. With it you can link an equipment set to a talent spec, and that set will automatically be equipped when the talent spec is activated.
WoWInterface, Curse
EquipSee
Adds several features to the built-in Equipment Manager. Features: when the Equipment Manager is open, shows which of the currently equipped items aren't in the currently selected set, adds a line to an item's tooltip listing the sets to which that item belongs, upon opening the Equipment Manager automatically selects the set that most closely matches the currently equipped gear.
Curse
Spequip
Spequip is an automated equipping addon that works with the default Equipment Manager.
The only requirement for it to work is to name the sets accordingly to your current talent spec.

Equipment Managers
ClosetGnome
ClosetGnome tries to be small and efficient and does not do any processing outside of when you actually add/delete or switch sets. There are some tradeoffs for this, like you won't have advanced features like what sets you're wearing currently in a list and stuff, it just shows you the set you last equipped in the tooltip.

Gear Ratings
Pawn
Pawn performs item value assessments to make it easy to decide which items are better than others. It's similar to mods such as Tank Points, but much more general, and applicable to any class and situation. You can use it to help create multiple gear sets, or decide whether to give up those ten points of stamina for two more points of fire resistance.
Pawn is a mod for hardcore World of Warcraft players. You're probably not going to like it if you're not the sort of person who agonizes over stats and itemization. But, if you're the kind of person who goes through Thottbot looking for exactly the items you want for your gear sets, builds Excel spreadsheets, installs TheoryCraft... well, Pawn might just be right up your alley. If you can't bear the thought of hand-editing configuration files in Notepad, turn back now.

RatingBuster
Unlike fixed percentages such as 2% critical strike chance, combat ratings diminish in potency as your character increases in level. 2% crit is the same at every level, while 28 critical strike rating grants 4% crit at level 34, 2% crit at level 60, and 1.27% crit at level 70. This mod converts combat ratings in your tooltips into percentages for your current level. It also gives a Stat Summary for comparing gear. You can choose what stats you want to see.

StatScore
All item comparison addons provide you with a different way of measuring gear upgrades. Most of which will tell you that an epic that just dropped is a huge upgrade for you. But after taking a second look at it you find that even though it has a higher item level, it does NOT have the right stats for your paticular class/spec.
StatScore is different. It uses weight tables to analyze which stats are best for you, and which aren't. Using the same calculation methods that Wowhead uses, it will take each stat on the currently shown item, multiply it by its weight value (specific for your class/spec) and add it for its total value. It is then normalized by deviding by the total value of all weights. After all the math is done StatScore will insert a line at the bottom of any equipable item tooltip with the Item Level and its Stat Score.
Config: /statscore
WoWInterface
TankPoints
TankPoints was created to compare different pieces of tanking gear, because it was difficult to decided at a glance like whether 12 defense is better then 1 dodge. TankPoints can be seen as how much damage you can take before damage reduction, it considers your max health, armor, defense, dodge, parry, block, block value, resilience, crushing blow chance, miss, crit reduction, talants, buffs, stance/forms, and more.
Config: /tp or /tankpoints
Curse
WeightsWatcher ,
WeightsWatcher gives you an easy to use way to compare gear based on the actual stats, not just the item level.
Currently, all base stats and gems in non-crafted sockets should be handled properly. Also, gems are suggested based on the weights you have enabled. Note that enchants are not currently included in the scoring (this includes crafted sockets), because they can be added to any new item as well.
All weights can be changed as you see fit, and you can create and enable as many or as few as you would like.
The current version includes the default weights from the fine folks at Wowhead.com, which are tuned for level 80 characters. Endgame players will probably want to create hit- and/or expertise- capped weights, which is easily done by copying an existing weight and setting the appropriate values to 0.

Gear Score
ItemLevelReal
Allows users to get the average item level of their currently equipped gear, not just the best-in-slot possibility from their bags.
Curse
PlayerScore/GearScore
GearScore is an addon for World of Warcraft that allows you to quickly and easily judge a player's level of Gear. Simply mouse-over any player in the game and their GearScore will appear in their tooltip. No need to visit the armory!
GearScore represents the maximum potential for a player to perform. The higher your GearScore the higher your potential to heal/dps/tank. Remember however, that is is up to the player's skill to match that potential.

YAGRA
YAGRA is Yet Another Gear Rating Addon. The gear rating provided by this addon is just a glorified item level. It just helps you
to know the tier progression of a character. It will not tell you if the character is wearing appropriate gear for its role. By example, it would not tell you if a deathknight was wearing spell power gear or if an healer ran around with lots of to-hit items. Moreover, it will tell you nothing about the player that is behind the character. It does not reflect the player reactivity, his/her ability to play his/her character properly nor his/her knowlegde of encounter strategies or whatever. You still have to figure it yourself.

Inspect
CharScanner
CharScanner scans Basic Character Data, Talent Specifications, Equipment, Achievements and Boss Kill Statistics from single target or group.

When you inspect someone, it will show a stat summery of all their equipped gear combined.
Please note that these values are from gear alone, and will not include bonuses from buffs, talents or normal base stats.
WoWInterface, Curse
InspectEquip
InspectEquip attaches a panel to the inspect window that shows a list of the character's equipment sorted by source (i.e. Raid: Ulduar, PvP, Crafted...). This gives you a quick overview of a character's equipment. InspectEquip also adds detailed item source information (including boss names, item prices for Emblem rewards etc) to all item tooltips.
WoWInterface, Curse
InspectFix
The Blizzard API for performing character inspection has fatal design flaws (namely, it's stateful yet client-oblivious). All UI elements that perform character inspection, from the Blizzard inspect frame to many addons that perform hidden inspects for various purposes, are forced to use this same API and frequently step all over each other while doing so. What this means for the end user is the more addons you install (especially raid/party/character related addons) the less stable the Blizzard inspect UI becomes. Common failures include the inspect window suddenly and inexplicably changing to show incorrect gear or talents, tooltips that suddenly stop working, or lua errors regarding the Blizzard_InspectUI.
Curse
SnoopyInspect
A little inspect mod with the following features: keeps inspect window open even if targetless or out of range, adds guild title with guild name, adds a talent summary, quick inspect next target if window is still open, adds inspect key binding; inspects mouseover if targetless.
