It is like gridstatushots in that you can change color based on time remaining, use with corner/side text rather than box-indicators etc.

I also use http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/gridstatusmending.aspx to see my stacks and time-remaining on mending separately. (Basically, again, like gridstatushots for mending). I’m pretty sure there are some decent mending settings within gridstatushots too.

I don’t find an indicator for grace/inspiration that useful. If it happens it happens, but no point in seeing it. Not going to change my healing behavior. So I don’t show it.

Pain suppression – I actually have it replace one of my center text… pain supp is important and rare. Want to make sure it went off correctly.

Power infusion can be handled with a simple indicator. Not crucial to see when it expires. Usually the target has no clue he’s infused. So I macro that sucker in with my penance with a [target=player] and give it to MYSELF on every cooldown. No indicator needed. Haha.

I actually DO put an indicator up for when divine aegis procs. Useful to see the extra bubble.

Gridstatusshields is ok (if used with text) to see how much shield is left… calculates PW:S + Divine Aegis. Also then I blow my lid when I see “2.2k” appear and I say “which one of your holy dorks shielded the tank with your pathetic 2k bubble?”

Inner fire: I actually don’t use grid for this at all, instead I use http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/tellmewhen.aspx and have an annoying icon pop up to say “hay your inner fire is down!”

By the way…love, love, LOVE the avatar :) I’ve been a huge Sorcerer’s Apprentice fan since I can remember!

I just have basic Grid installed (no GridHot, Grid ManaBars, GridUberPwn, etc)

Border – Aggro warning (flashes red)
Top left – Paladin bubbles, shield wall, other “mitigation” buffs. (blue dot)
Top Right – Renew or Rejuvination (green dot)
Bottom left – Power word Shield (yellow dot)
Bottom Right – Buncha poison effects (just to show they might need a Renew)
Center – Magic and Diseases icons (to show I need to Dispel/Abolish)

I don’t use clique or anything, jsut a series of Mouseover Macros, so I can hover the mouse over various people’s squares and toss my heals.
1 = Penance
2 = PoM
3 = Flash Heal
4 = Power word: Shield
5 = GHeal (I know, I know, it’s useful sometimes on tankspikes if Penance is on cooldown or a DPS needs big heal and tank is fine)
6 = Dispel Magic
7 = Abolish Disease (so useful against DKs and Plague quarter)
8 = Binding Heal / Desperate Prayer
9 = Fade

I also have the usual OhShit macro for Healthstones, Potions, Fade, Desperate Prayer, etc, etc, etc on one of my nearby hotkeys like ‘T’ (since I’m usually having all my usual SW:pain, Devouring Plague, & Wand attacks on the tank=Focus TargetTarget and such.)
