It seems like given variable latencies and possible interruptions (random pushback, slight delay on tank transitions) the latter would not be practical.
If your unitframes show the cast bars of your raid members you can presumably try to adjust (or assign one or two healers to adjust with the other one or two healers just spamming) to ensure your heals aren't landing simultaneous with someone else's, but is the distraction and cast-cancelling that this demands worth it? It seems like you would have to adjust continuously to compensate for latency, random interruptions or pushback, and differing amounts of haste.

I have asked the healers in my guild to install and configure DorjeHealingBars. I haven't fully tested it, but it seems to work as long as your healers all have the proper tank targetted. It is updated on the wowace site, curse, wowinterface and others have an old version from December 2007...
