Am I the only healer left who assigns spells to the task bar and presses the corresponding number buttons and then either clicks the player or in the case of 5-man groups uses the F keys?

The only "healing" mod I use would be decursive and that's not healing specific and I have healed 5 mans and raids without a problem. Like the author says, works perfect even after patch day.

Yes.

This system of healing simply can't match the efficiency of clickcast mods (vuhdo, healbot, grid/clique) in raiding situations with 10 or 25 players, taking all your casts from 2 actions down to 1...

I used this method for many years when I wasn't raiding. This works just fine for 5 mans but it's just not tenable once you start having 10 or more people to target and heal. Not to mention you no longer have keybinds to directly target half or more of your group members anymore.

One major advantage of mouseover macros, click-casting mods, etc. is that you can target one thing, focus another, and still be able to heal. So I tend to focus my tank, target the boss, and I can keep an eye on the flow of the fight, the boss' casting/health, etc. all while doing my job. I would highly recommend you give Healbot or Grid+Clique a shot, the results could bring your play to that next proverbial level (got to give it some time of course, not going to happen the moment you try them out ;).
