I haven't seen any reports regarding the floating combat text, Gernade, it should be working just fine. Perhaps an element or two left over from your old addons is preventing the option.
Can you try the new Reset UI instructions found in the following post and see if that helps?

Specifically:
Basic Interface Panel Options Reset:
(Note: This will reset all standard Blizzard Interface Options including those not accessible from the Interface Panel. This WILL NOT remove any installed addons or third party UI mods.)
1) Exit the World of Warcraft by logging out of the game to your login screen.
2) On the login screen, click on the “Options” button.
3) Click on the “Reset UI Settings” button.
4) Click on “Okay” to confirm the base UI options reset.
