It is relevant, because the OP is asking for feedback about his/her UI design, presumably with the intent of releasing it as a UI compilation for others to use. Complaining that he has buff consolidation turned on is like complaining that you don't like his screen resolution or complaining that his character's armor isn't transmogged to match. It has nothing to do with the UI design, and like I already said, if someone else downloads his addons and addon settings, their buff consolidation setting will not be affected at all.

Personally, I don't use buff consolidation because I already use a custom buff addon that supports filtering, and I just permanently hide a lot of buffs, but if I were using the default buff display, I would definitely have buff consolidation turned on, for the same reason -- it's just not worth my time and energy to spend every second of every group play session worrying about whether everyone else in the group is remembering to buff the group. I have Mark of the Wild hidden, for example, on all of my non-druid characters because I more or less trust that any druids in the group are at least marginally competent and casting their buff, and if they forget, well, it's really not the end of the world.

You've still got some alignment issues. I imported your screenshot into Photoshop and added some lines to mark the edges of things. See how there are tons of lines that are 5-20 pixels apart? You should line those edges up. (see attachment)
