This is a month old so you probably found something already but in case you’re still looking here’s some advice from a fellow tree healer:

1. For poison and decursing, Decursive is a great mod.
2. Grid is a pain to set up but Resto4Life has a nice guide. http://www.resto4life.com/2008/06/25/grid-thinking-within-the-boxes/
3. You can use Clique or you can write your own mouse-over macros, which IMO are quite nice to have. Even if you D/C and your raidframe addon disappears, you’ll be able to heal fine with them.
4. Healbot is very nice out-of-the box, and works very well for 5-mans, quite well for 10, but starts to feel like a screen hog at 25. You can adjust it so the bars are smaller but at that point you might as well switch to Grid anyway
5. Whatever you do, you need some kind of raidframes that track hots. The default UI just doesn’t cut it for trees.

Hey, I recently dual spec’d my Shadow Priest Holy and found Healbot to be a really good addon. I’m sure people will down play it as a good tool, but take it from me. Out of the box it is a fairly simple addon to use. Most of my important spells were pre-loaded (by class I guess). Left click a name and boom flash heal, alt left click and hello abolish disease. Very simple click combos with alt, shift, or ctrl as modifiers.

To be fair I never used Grid or Clique, but it sounds like the Drool is a side project and won’t get much play time with the new content. I would recommend healbot for its simplicity and ability to just pick it up and put it down.

Make sure you get the grid my hots extension, it can do things like count your lifebloom stacks and change colors when the hot is about to run out on people.

Download decursive rather than trying to decurse using your normal unit frames. Its good for the fights where you need to be decursing/depoisoning, and when you dont you can just drag those miniframes out of sight.

Grid + Clique is one of the most powerful combos out there. However both do take quite a bit of setting up and getting used to (can’t tell how many times on my priest I went to select someone and ended up Penance-ing them). I’ve gone to just using Grid without using a click-cast addon as it makes healing a little less boring
