PitBull Unit Frames 3.0
Please note that PitBull3 is no longer being actively developed. On top of lack of active development itself, it's based on the Rock framework which itself is no longer maintained either.
I strongly recommend that users migrate to PitBull4. You can not convert your config from PitBull3 and must reconfigure.
PitBull4 itself can be found at:
http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/pitbull4.aspx
You can find guides for setting it up at:
http://www.wowace.com/addons/pitbull4/pages/guide/
And the FAQ here:
http://www.wowace.com/addons/pitbull4/pages/faq/
While PitBull4 is still in beta it is fully functional and has more features than PitBull3. It is actively developed on and bug fixes made regularly.
I do not plan on making any fixes to PitBull3 once Cataclysm releases. So you have plenty of time to make the migration.

PitBull is a Unit Frames addon that provides maximal customization and undergoes rigorous efficiency testing. It is created in a modular framework, which allows for mulitple authors to put their skills to work creating this great project.
It has support for many different kinds of units: player, target, pet, pet's target, target of target, target of target of target, focus, focus' target, party, party pets, party targets, party pet targets, raid, raid pets, raid targets, main tanks, main tank targets, main assists, main assist targets, etc.
Note: Almost all texts are configurable using the LibDogTag-3.0 format. See http://old.wowace.com/wiki/LibDogTag-3.0 for details or type '/dog' in-game.

Note: all modules can be enabled or disabled on-demand. Disabled modules don't take up any extra memory or CPU power.
I do, however, have a question. When targeting an enemy (PVE) there is nothing to show whether or not it will grant you experience. As you know, originally the levels of the target would be in grey to show this (green for easy etc). As far as i'm aware there isn't anything in pitbull to show this. If there is could you please fill me in, if not then i think that it would be another amazing feature to this addon.
Cheers
This feature does exist. It's actually one of the options given. Play around with the various text areas, I think it's in 'class'.

Take care folks.
I took a few minutes and modded the raid target icon module into a new one that adds the role icons to the frames; allowing you to see the dagger, cross or shield based on the role selected for the lfg tool when the people in your group queued. If anyone would be interested it's hosted here at our guild site.

Is this a known bug?
I was wondering if there is a module or setting that shows the new group role icon when using the LFG system? I know the Blizz default UF have a shield/cross/sword for tank/healer/dps. This would be nice so you always tell who picked what role since there are so many classes with dual-spec.
@_SAS: Do you have SharedMedia installed and enabled? I don't think it has had its ToC updtaed to 3.3, you'll either need to check the "load out of date addons" checkbox on the addon selection screen, or change the ToC yourself to version 30300. Its in the addon folder, with the extension of .toc.
@Radgh: Do you mean that you only want to see the vehicle health bars rather than the vehicle health bars AND the player ones? If so, you might take a loot at Pitbull4, it has a much different options layout than PB3. You also might consider having a pet layout and only use it in those instances, where the pet frames are in a different location than the player frames.
And if Pitbull does add in functionality for the Boss Frames, then perhaps Chinchilla will no longer need to cover it?
