UPDATE: I have remade this UI for shadowlands using the newest ElvUI version (with minor changes here and there). I'm still not sure if this will be my main UI, i have multiple i'm considering. This time around, i will NOT be supporting weakauras for the UI, i will simply provide the ElvUI layout, you can watch the video for weakaura ideas and ideas for placing bigwigs timers etc.
This is an ElvUI edit using ElvUI and ElvUI S&L (1920x1080) - Works for tanks and DPS (not optimal for healing)!
Please read:
Not every step in the setup guide is required, if you do not wish to mess around with adding textures / fonts to ElvUI, you should be able to simply install ElvUI and ElvUI S&L (https://www.tukui.org/addons.php?id=38) and import the string. The rest of the steps are only required if you want the exact same look.
I will attempt to provide as much support as i can, but please try to read the whole description / comments / setup guide before you comment about a problem :).

Setup guide:
1: DL elvui https://www.tukui.org/countdown/ and install it into your addons folder.
2: DL S&L https://www.tukui.org/addons.php?id=38 and install it into your addons folder.
3: DL sharedmedia https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/sharedmedia and install it into your addons folder. (not required)
4: DL infmid.tga and expressway.ttf from here (texture and font) https://www.dropbox.com/sh/m7g2r3101mk7phl/AADa3w6q1ug02sXPlmIC_7Eka?dl=0 (not required)
5: Use this video to install the fonts and textures into sharedmedia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtNTIhYpZQ8 (not required)
6: Go into game and do initial elvui setup, then use my copy paste string provided here on the site and import it into elvui here: https://imgur.com/a/Nq4wKJF
7: Do a reloadui and everything should hopefully be good :)! (If it isn't, you might have to set the font and texture manually inside ElvUI's settings).
8: Download this Fonts folder and put it into your world of warcraft folder to get the same font on everything in wow (C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft in my case). https://www.dropbox.com/sh/r05rdam1rt4i7zp/AAD9XfALroasoB34GmEdnBMya?dl=0. (not required)
9: Install the icon pack (see link above under icons). (not required)

Changes:
03/11/20 - Updated UI to latest ElvUI version.
- Fixed stuff looking weird when importing old string to new ElvUI
- Minor changes to target buffs and debuffs (mostly minor adjustsments).
- New look for the nameplates
- Dropped weakaura support, too much work and i just returned to the game.
- etc.
4/8/18 - Made some minor changes to the UI as an "update":
- Changed party and raid frame position slightly and made arena + boss frames the exact same and gave it equal position in opposite side.
- Moved target's target frame down below and moved target buffs to the right. Adjusted player buffs and debuff to the top right (this was done to simplify buff / debuff tracking, so it doesn't require weakauras and you can actually click the buffs off now). Therefore also deleted one of the steps for setting up weakauras for buff / debuff tracking.
- Changed target frame slightly, moved name and health up and adjusted debuff tracking to match with new target of target.
- Target castbar moved up a bit to adjust for moving name and health.
- Moved some different elements around as well as the new "voice" frames.
- Probably won't update weakauras, but old ones can be modified to match with new class changes.
- Hidden action bar still at the bottom for extra keybinds / less necessary spells.
- Removed raid 40 frames because i hate them, enable them and position them yourselves if you need these.
- The old video can still be used to see how i place my DPS meter + Boss timers.
9/7/18 - I'm back baby! Changed pet frame to be below actions bars and moved the pet bar to the bottom (mouseover). Also moved ElvUI's own buff / debuff tracker to the right (original position) in case some people want to use the normal way of tracking buffs (see step 10 in setup guide).
9/8/17 - Adjustment to focus frame and debuffs for it.
28/7/17 - Cleaned up description and put all weakauras into class specific collections to make it less cluttered.
24/7/17 - Minor adjustments to fix some misaligned elements and i made a healing version: https://wago.io/BJMS9BmIb
18/7/17 - Added hidden experience + artifact bars next to the damage meter bottom right (mouseover).
17/7/17 - Changed a chat hide setting in S&L and moved a few frames a bit due to collision.
14/7/17 - Added some of my "rotational" weakauras for the classes i play and changed boss frame position.
11/7/17 - Positioned the "real" buff and debuff frames in case people would like to use them, see comments on how to enable them and disable the other ones. Other minor adjustments were made.
8/7/17 - Adjusted target's target position and debuffs and focus frame position.
8/7/17 - Adjusted upper UI elements to not interfere with order hall bar because OCD.
6/7/17 - Minor adjustsments to positioning and party frame growth direction.
5/7/17 - Minor adjustments and added raid 40 frames.
5/7/17 - Completely redesigned UI using S&L.
Upcoming plans:
