Personally, I find that using addons such as Healbot, Grid+Clique, or Vuhdo end up with more of my raid/party members dead than healed.

I also know that addons can be a huge boon to any player once they find the right addons.

To that end, I use Healium as my healing addon of choice (coupled with Hide Party when in a five man). It sets up little party/raid frames on your screen that you can position anywhere you like, as well as scale to what size you want. Immediately to the right of each player's spot on the raid frames it places little icons for each of your heals, debuff removal spells, and certain cooldowns (such as Innervate) that you can simply click to heal that player without having to target them. In my experience, once you know which heals are placed in what order, it takes just as much time to click the spells next to the raid frame as to mouse over a target to heal them.

As an added plus, it will also color the raid frames based on debuffs that the player has, and if the player has a debuff that you can remove, it will place a highlighted border around your debuff removal spell. You can also configure the addon to play an audio cue when there is a debuff to remove that you are capable of removing.

The addon may not be for everybody, but for the people who have difficulty with the more popular addons, I definitely recommend Healium.
