I use Vuhdo myself on all my toons including non healers so I swear by it.

Members of my raid team use Grid, Healbot and also Blizzard standard raid frame with addons to click spells. We all swear by them and can't stand the other addons so which ever you find the most easiest to use go for it :)

I personally recommend Vuhdo as once its setup to how you like its sorted :) easy debuff adding if anything is missing but hey I would recommend the one I use ;)

I hope you find the tool u r looking for :)

+1 more for the vu...
I love vuhdo and have really barely scratched the surface of what it is capable of. But definately to each his/her own. make sure you try out several and figure out what works for you. I personally hate the bliz raid frames and figure it doesn't matter what add on you use as long as you use an add on lol.

I heal only for 5-mans and play mostly Shadow, and I also admit that I've messed with VuhDo and Grid/Grid2 only a little bit, but why do you say this? I use Healium for 5-man heals and I love it.

The general consensus from topics I've seen in various places about "which raid frames are the best" always has someone bring up Healium and always ends with someone discussing how horrible that addon is.

Just looking at it all I see is some horrid redundancy. Why would you have buttons next to each player's frame with the same spells over and over. Would you really restrict yourself to only using Greater Heal and PW: Shield on your tank and Prayer of Healing on a dps? Would you just put every spell you have in all 15 slots and use them? What if you have more than 15 useful spells to use on a particular raid member (including CDs, heals, dispels, etc)?

If you are just dropping every spell next to a player why not just use Bartender and put up 4 rows of bars with every thing on your spell book on it? Why not macro all your spells to mouse over and use the default raid frames? Why not use an addon like Clique with Grid or the default raid frames? If you have all these spells next to a player's frame do you also have them on your bars as well?

I strive to make my UI have as little redundant information as possible. So in this case, it makes me feel like spells next to player frames + spells in your action bars = too much redundancy imo.

I'm not understanding how these spells are keybound either. Are you supposed to just click what is next to the player frame and it heals them? Keybindings are much quicker to react to than clicking, to me at least.

I've actually changed over to ElvUI's unit frames for off healing (with Clique obviously) as I like the default set up for the indicators.
