All true, Shamandin. I healed with the macros last night and afterward immediately replaced X-Perl with Pitbull for the cleaner, simpler look, but apart from that I found it faster and more efficient. It's also for whatever reason way easier for me to remember and use key bindings than mouse combos.
But I'm bothered that it's not as easy to immediately see when somebody needs a Dispel Magic or Abolish Disease, so unless I can figure out a way to make Pitbull do that better, I'll either get another add-on just for that or keep Healbot around to do it.
I've not played with Pitbull enough to do that. Unfortunately for me, I experimented with Pitbull right around patch time. When the patch hit, it got broke and took a little while to get updated. ag_UnitFrames (which I used before Pitbull) was patched and ready so I went back. All that to say, I wish I could help ya with that one, but ...
As for another AddOn - One I used in the past (before Blizzard deliberately broke it) was Decursive. Since they broke it, I was doing everything manually (with the mouseover macros). Recently, I went back to using Decursive. Even though HealBot has similar functionality, I like how Decursive gives you a small "hotbar" with color codings (including range info) and automatically sets your cleansers for left/right/middle click. And for the mage, in addition to Remove Lesser Curse, it sets up Polymorph. It's unobtrusive enough that it fits into my UI right below HealBot and I rarely notice it 'til it 'Bong's at me and the player's (or pet's) box changes. It's not the "just mash the button at the top of the list and it all goes away magically" addon it used to be (and yes, it used to automatically choose which spell to cast for you). You still have to click appropriately for the right cleanser.
Again, it's personal preference and ymmv. It's worth checking out, even if it's just for notifications.
