Only thing I can see in that wall of text with no punctuation (trust me, it helps alot), is the use of the curse client. I have heard of alot of people having troubles that have the client installed on there computers. Some also fixed many of those issues by removing it, and only using manual instal for their plug-ins. For the non-computer savvy people, just hit manual install, and navigate through C drive (or whatever you HD is set to)> program files> Wolrd of Warcraft> interface> add ons and drop it in there. Just as easy as the curse client, and a lot less risk of picking up nasty programs.

That wall of text is virtually unreadable. Why don't you outline (in nice formatted text, punctuation is always a plus):

-the problems you are having
-when they started happening
-what was going on when they started happenening
-any steps you have taken to try and solve them
