When did add-ons like dbm and bigwigs stop providing useful information? I remember in the past seeing alerts like "ability name - instruction’; example; ‘cone of fire - move to the sides!’.
As I’ve tried to get into the flow of tanking again, using world bosses as an example (and practice) now it’s just; ‘ability name!’ Like cool. Is an AOE going to happen? Am I going to light on fire and damage those around me? Do I need to face the boss in a certain direction? I’ve got yesterday before I have to react, why am I just getting dungeon guide regurgitation? This doesn’t happen with every fight, but it does happen with too many of them. IMO, anyway.
Like 'Look out Leyrin, the boss is about to use; “obsure spell name that doesn’t communicate it’s effect!” Great, what does that do? Should I just stand here?
I suppose watching to see what happens is out of the question?

in dbm you can add your own custom notes to each ability the boss does
click on whatever boss, then look for the specific warning you want. next to that warning should be a red button. click that button, enter your text, then click ‘okay.’

You could always do your research on the fights, as a tank, so you’re aware of what boss abilities do.
I mean it literally sounds like you’re asking for addons to tell you how to play through a fight step by step.
Well that’s handy. I’ll give it a shot. Thank you.

Have you looked into https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/dbm-voicepack-vem ?
Before doing NORMAL dungeons I lookup videos on youtube, read the dungeon journal and then once in the dungeon I read the dungeon journal again for each boss while doing the trash before it. Can’t remember everything for every dungeon when just starting, that’s when “Spread out” helps.

It is a reminder warning. Please do not attempt to belittle someone when you do not seem to comprehend the context.
Get weak auras. Go to wago and copy paste it into the add on window. They have auras for just about anything. I use a lot of the dungeon ones. It tells me when I need to dodge stuff
