Ok, I've finally gotten onto the test realm and tested Mouselook.
It's broken, and I can't think of how to fix it. Basically, we are now blocked from using TurnOrActionStart(arg1) and TurnOrActionStop(arg1) at all.
These two functions are absolutely CRITICAL to any mouselook mod - a mod that lets you lock on mouselook mode so that you don't have to hold down the right mouse button to look around.
The very first day I played WoW, back in beta, I played without a mouselook mod. I had to hold down the right mouse button for MOST of 3-4 hours that night, and the next day, I couldn't even use my right arm because it was in pain.
I found Looklock (part of cosmos) and was able to play wow. Thank god.
Now, the fundamental function used to make this mod work is being blocked.
Slouken, I understand the need and desire to block the function, so we need an alternative NOW. ASAP. If 1.10 goes live without some kind of LOCKED mouselook mode, I know many people will quit...
...not because we want to, but because we HAVE to. we simply CANNOT play this game without some sort of locked mouselook mode.
I'm going to have to cancel my account today. I don't want to. But I won't pay for a game I can't play.
Asking someone who has learned to move around using mouselook for as long and my wife and I have is tantamount to asking us to re-learn how to walk.
Games that I've played that provide a real mouselook: DAoC, doom, quake, Duke nukem, (basically EVERY FPS)... Lack of a workable mouselook mode is what killed shadowbane for my wife and I.
Here is a link to my version of mouselook, the version that has worked fine, unchanged, through every single patch since release except 1.10.

One of the things on the TODO list for 1.11 is a mouselook mode.
I'd love to hear various people's thoughts about what the ideal mouselook mode would be. I've already looked at the Mouselook addon in the original post, but I'm sure other people have features that they'd like to see as well.

Since it looks like there are lots of different things that people want from a mouselook addon, I've added the following functions to 1.10:
MouselookStart()
MouselookStop()
IsMouselooking()
These functions can be used normally by addons.
I created a simple mouselook toggle macro too:
/script if IsMouselooking() then MouselookStop() else if ( GetMouseFocus() == WorldFrame ) then MouselookStart() end end
