My current list (some are still API8 and need to be force loaded), essential addons in blue:
AMP Finder - Adds tooltips to the amp screen telling you where you can get that amp
Athena - Permanent crafting discovery arrows
AuraMastery - Lets you show icons based on custom conditions, e.g. show an ignite icon with a count down while it's on an enemy so you know exactly when to refresh it.
AutoInviter - Automatically invite people who whisper you a custom string
BehavedGroupFinder - Hides the window from popping up again after joining a game.
BetterQuestLog - More useful/concise quest log
BijiPlates - Better unit plates (bars that appear above enemies). I'll likely switch to MinimalistPlates when it's more mature as it promises to be the same, but more efficient.
Book Level Icons - Shows which amps/recipes you can use in the guild bank, also adds new icons for each amp class, catalyst level, etc. Replaces the abandoned AmpClassIcons.

CandyBars - Replaces the stock action bars with customizable (size, shape, etc.) bars that take up less space.

EasyPlant - Quickly replant your garden by right-clicking. Pops up a little menu of seeds and plants them for you with each click.
EntSpy - Draw icons on your screen for enemies, harvest nodes, objectives, etc. Can also draw lines. Makes Ayth_Quest obsolete.

FieldOfViewCalculator - Makes it easy to set a custom FoV (AKA CustomFoV).
Fixed Chat Log - Forces profanity filter off, allows you to read alien (opposite faction) text.
FrenemyTelegraphs - Automatically toggle opposite faction telegraphs based on PvP flag. I.e. it hides them if they can't hurt you.
GalaxyMeter - DPS meter
Generalist - Essential for altaholics. Lets you see what equipment/currency/rep/etc. your other characters have. Adds tooltips to amps so you know if your alt needs it.
Grid - Shows your party/raid as a customizable grid, allows mouseover targeting.
Guild Online Filter - Adds a checkbox to toggle offline players in the guild roster.
Hephaestus - Allows you to craft multiple simple crafts at once

Newton - (Scientist only) Remember and autosummon your preferred Scanbot.

Protostar Multifunction Tool - Gathering Tool Swapper - Autoswap between gathering tools for toons with two harvesting skills.
PurchaseConfirmation - Pops up a confirmation dialog for purchases at a custom threshold. Prevents expensive accidental purchases when you just wanted to see what an item would look like.

RepairCostTooltip - Adds a tooltip with total cost to the repair button.
RestXPReminder - If you're not at your house replaces the logout button with a warp-to-house button.

WoWChatColours - Customizable chat text colours. Defaults to WoW colouring.

I got Track Master to have the Track Master Subdue module last week since it will show you where your weapon is with dots. Does another addon do that instead?
http://www.curse.com/ws-addons/wilds...kmaster-subdue
EntSpy already handles subdue.
