To the previous 2 posters: this isn't really possible because the combat log doesn't tell you which spell caused damage absorption, and therefore who cast it (according to Recount's current author). Besides, depending on luck/gear/skill, it's highly random. Example: you did your job, but your tank avoided most hits, resulting in your shields not absorbing a whole hell of a lot. Does that make you a bad healer ? No. But a meter wouldn't show much.

Shields are preventive "heals", traditional heals are reactive. Important difference. The best way is to educate your group leaders as to your abilities and teach them how to use a Healing Meter. It's not as simple as a Damage Meter.

Also, give this a read: 4 Reasons Healing Meters Suck : World of Matticus

Thank you for the answer.
Sadly the problem is with pugs, so I'll probably have to macro the explaination of why I'm lower than the other healers (if they don't slack).

I am looking for a mod that will popup and icon when a buff is about to expire. Specifically for hunger for blood. I would like to be able to adjust the time when it shows up. Sort of like coolings2 but for buffs. It seems I need a sledgehammer to the head when it is about to drop because the classtimer bar I am using just isn't keeping my attention during highly active fights.

You can use ForteXorcist for that, i know you want quartz to do it but i have never tried it out my self.

You don't need to change your tracking each time you target a new creature type anymore. Improved Tracking - Spell - World of Warcraft (click the link for the updated tooltip) was changed so you can track just one of the creature types and the damage bonus will be applied to every creature type available for tracking.

If you still want an addon.
You can just go into the Lua, and change the "auto" function from False to True and it will change every time

Macaroon

I used macaroon pre-patch 3.0.8 and was wondering if anyone knew of plans to drop or fix the mod, or if there are any similar addons I should check out instead.

There's a fix for it at Macaroon bugfix patch for current PTR build/3.0.8 : WoWInterface Downloads : Plug-Ins & Patches. Unfortunately I can't comment on whether it works or not since I don't use the mod.

Yes it does work; However, you need to back up your macaroon settings from the saved variables in your WTF Folder first. If you lose all of your bars after reloading the addon and patch then you may need to load your saved variables back into your WTF folder.
I loaded the new Macaroon update and then loaded the patch. All is well.

Looking for a mod like ButtonFacade that will make blizzards standard buffs/debuffs look better. I'm working on a new UI and don't mind where they are located, but i wanted them more crisp and smooth, maybe a tad smaller. TiA!

Satrina Buff Frames can use Button Facade.

Ignorance can be solved with a book. Stupidity requires a shotgun and a shovel.

I didn't want to use an actual mod for buffs/debuffs. I use one now, but i don't mind the blizzard buffs where they are at now, just wanted to know if i could make them look better without using a mod for the buffs.

rBuff is rad, otherwise try BuffSkin. Both very lightweight with minimal functionality...sounds like what you're after.
