Addons for a Resto?Follow
Briefly searched the first few pages here, and the stickies on wowhead and here, didnt come up with any answers (note the briefly, so if I missed it just link me to it), but what are some good recommended addons for resto druids, besides the obvious omen and deadly boss mods?
Healbot?
I don't have it personnaly but I hear good things.

Get Damage Meters, and flip it for healing.
That way you can watch your over heal.

Healbot and Grid are the two I've tried out. Both do the job, though both have weaknesses. Oddly enough, the repsective weaknesses turn out to be the strengths of the other.
On Healbot, you always know who's in/out of range becuase their square becomes illuminated, whereas with Healbot, you can set some settings for range, but it's nowhere near as clear.
On Grid, my HoT icons show up all the time (and I think even show LB stacks) but on Healbot, they only show HoT icons for my party (particularly frustrating for BGs and raids) and they don't show LB stacks.
Both show incoming heals if they're coming from healers using the same program. That's a huge mana saver.
In the end I went with Healbot myself because it was more important for me to know who was in range than who in the BG already had a rejuv on them. Plus my GM (and main healer) also uses Healbot, so when we raid, we can track incoming heals.

DoTimer is very good for tracking your HoT timers on a per-target basis. Much better than NECB or other timers in how it identifies seperate targets, which I've found to be a big help in Group play.
Would healbot and dottimer work with each other? i.e. since healbot has weak HoT output, but strong range detection?
I tried out an add-on called Perfect Raid last night because my priest friend so highly recommended it. I must say it ROCKS. It puts everyones health/rage/mana bars into one column, and you have some control over who goes where. It puts "aggro" in red letters on anyones bar that currently has aggro. For druids, an M is next to anyone's bar that currently does NOT have mark of the wild, which is great for spot buffing. Healing over time spells also appear next to names, with different colors so if everyone's taking a lot of damage and I'm throwing around lifeblooms, I know who still needs one and who doesn't.
I love it. When I'm healing the raid (and tree druids usually are), having everyone's name lined up like that makes it easy to determine who's health is lowest and needs attention the most. You can also choose to have a small number inside the bar showing how much health they need, which is great for choosing which heal to toss.
It's basically a great add-on that made healing 25 mans so much easier on me. You can find it here:

I started using perfectraid, the one problem is I dont see pets (i.e. hunter pets). Is there an addon which does show pets?
Healbot and Grid both have options to show pets.
