Using SQL Server DMVs to Identify Missing Indexes

ProblemIn a previous tip, Deeper insight into unused indexes for SQL Server, we discussed how to identify indexes that have been created but are not being used or used rarely.  Now that I know which indexes I can drop, what is the process to identify which indexes I need to create.  I can run the Database Tuning Advisor or examine the query plans, but is there any easier way to determine which indexes may be needed?

Solution
As with a lot of the new features we have seen with SQL Server 2005 and now with SQL Server 2008, Microsoft introduced a few more dynamic management views to also assist with identifying possible index candidates based on query history.
