Recommended Addons for Healers?

Hi looking for some recommendations on addons that help healers.

I only have Buffhead atm, I tried Squared but I think it is broken.

Any raid frame addons that can show icons to track your HoTs? Or any addons that can simulate click-healing? (i.e. clicking on the unit in the raid frame casts a pre-determined spell). playing a healbot Zealot if there's anything that's helpful for Zealots too, glad to hear about them. thx

I actually do not like squared at all, its buggy as hell. Enemy is actually the most reliable unit frame addon I've found so far but if you really want to get fancy, check out VinyUI. There's a whole thread on it in this subforum and I love it for all my characters but I especially love it for healing. I feel like I can see a lot more of the play field bc there's less crap on the screen since Pure cleans everything up and the unit frames are wonderful once you get them set up the way you like. Also, the developer for it is very helpful if you run into troubles.

Also, it comes with buffhead and a pretty much all the other most useful addons already setup so its very easy to get going with it.

Enemy (your best addon friend) + buffhead + pure (optional).

Square sucks ;)

Default enemy UI sucks for warbands but with some work you can modify it to look like squared.

Enemy for unit frames + various other nice stuff
Aura for customizing your needs
BuffHead so you can see yourself dying from dozens of DoTs

Enemy has everything a healer needs: highly configurable group frames, a performance friendly incoming damage counter for better deataunts and the ability to pin markers to players for orientation.

I can't imagine healing without it.

are there any addons/ways which let you select members of other groups with hotkey?

I use enemy, but at a certain distance you can“t select members of other groups with clicking on them (for your own groups, you can use hotkeys to circumvent this problem). Is there a way to remove this limitation in enemy? works squared different? any other helpful advice? :)
