Okay, I'm really only interested in a handful of mods, and I prefer using FTB instead of doing it myself because it's easier. Though one thing has always bugged me, and that is that I often find it impossible to tell what mods are connected. Like, there are many mods that are connected that have completely unrecognizable / different and unrelated names. Some mods require a handful of smaller mods in order to work, and even their addons even require their own support mods. Is there any list that tells what mods are connected so that I can deactivate what I won't be using anyway?
Any list of what mods are connected?

Why cant you just google the names of the mods you are unsure about?
I could. But there should still be a list over what mods require each other to run, so that inexperienced players can easily remove what disinterests them without creating a broken gaming experience.
I did it yesterday by Google's help with the mod names I was uncertain of, and even then took me fifteen minites to figure out what collection of mods worked together. Still, when I managed to start the game, it crashed to desktop once I right clicked something in NEI, and I have no clue what causes that. Gonna have to look over it more thorough after work today.
In my opinion the FTB launcher should have descriptions for the included mods when mousing over them. Either that, or the "edit mod pack" should display the mods in folders, so if we disable a core mod, we disable everything related to it. Would make things a whole lot easier.

maybe this website could help making things quicker, if your modpack is in the list (or choose one with the biggest list).
At least it provides a link to the original post/thread and who made it.

Thanks, that helps a lot
Fix your signature. You didn't help at all.
The wiki (http://wiki.feed-the-beast.com/Main_Page) pages for mods has a section in the infobox called "Depends on" that should list hte mods it requires
That's more what I'm talking about!
Would still be useful with a "Needed for" section. Like, if we're in the Buildcraft coremod page in the wiki, it displays all mods that requires it to run.
But hey, gotta work with what's available right now. Thanks
Also, for everyone annoyed at why this is so important to me; I once had an issue where the mod pack I was using updated every day, so I had to remove the undesired mods each time. The argument could be made that I just make a list of which ones to deactivate. Truth is partially that I'm lazy, and partially that new mods and addons are made all the time, which again comes back to me being too lazy to pay attention.
Hate me for it all you want, I don't care. I just try to find the easiest option that require the least amount of usage of my brain. It's a fragile thing that doesn't like it too much when I pester it to mess around with computer things.
That's actually a good idea. I may just add that to the template in an hour or so.
As far as figuring out what things are required by a mod, that can be as simple as plopping it into an instance and watching the message "Mod [x] depends on [Y], which was not present". It's much tougher the other way (e.g., if you remove Modular Powersuits, you can also remove Numina, but the game will still run with it left in), but it's also much less important (as it just won't do anything, usually).
Forge does put lines like this into its log:
This tells you that MFR requires PowerCrystalsCore (specifically version 1.1.8 or above) and MinecraftForge (specifically version 9.11.1.953 or above) and has some interaction with Buildcraft and IC2 in a way that it wants to load before or after them if they are there.
