If you are having problems with d/c in raids... ...take a look at this list copied from the EJ forum. Apparently the traffic from these mods can lead to d/c's when it gets too high.
Consolidated list of spammy addons
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A lot of addons were being mentioned in the Sunwell thread as being horrible spam generators, sending out several megabytes of data over the course of a raid. I propose that people who have been monitoring these addons list them here, along with a way to fix the addon so it doesn't do that, and/or a replacement addon that is safer.
Also can someone explain exactly what the impact is on the raid from all this additional network traffic? Low fps? Lag? Disconnects?
The List:
DoTimer
Workaround: Remove the Comm folder, or there's an option to disable comms.
Alternates: DotDotDot made by Kalman
Recount
Workaround: /recount sync off
Alternates: Assessment (is this updated for 2.4 yet?) or Violation
Auctioneer
Workaround: disable or run an alt only
QuestFu
Workaround: an Ace mod called QuixoteShouldShutUp will silence this
Alternates: nQuestLog
QuestGuru
Workaround: disable
Alternates: nQuestLog
Carbonite
Workaround: disable
Alternates:
SW_Stats
Workaround: disable (anyway to turn off sync?)
Alternates: Assessment or Recount (with sync off) or Violation
MinnaStats
Workaround: disable

i have disabled unneeded mods and even parts of dbm and xperl that are unneeded for raids to improve performance and it may be working for me.

You know what, my bad DC night on Illidan, I thought it was just my ISP being crappy for a day, but I might have turned SWStats back on that night. I'll leave it off and see if the DCs stop.
And for the record, there's no way to run SWStats without sync.

I run Auctioneer and SW_Stats, but I don't seem to have the disconnect problems that others do. WoW simply crashes instead. :(

I disabled Auctioneer on Returna a couple nights ago...I do notice a little bit better memory usage
