Original Post:
I tried InstantHealth, and really liked it, but had a few minor issues and decided that I could do with something a little simpler. I've written an alert plugin for Grid that tries to give you some of the benefits of InstantHealth, without overriding the default Blizzard interfaces for every addon. This module was inspired by Meloeth's InstantHealth addon. Grid is required to use this addon.
This module gives you a timed duration alert in Grid whenever someone in your party/raid takes damage (as indicated by the combat log). The alert stays active for a configurable period (the default is 2 seconds). The amount of damage, or threshold, it takes to trigger the alert, is also configurable (the default is 500 hp).
By tying the alert to an indicator (like a corner square), you can potentially get a *slightly* early indicator of who has taken damage. As a healer, I liken it to the "aggro status" which can sometimes provide an early indicator of who is about to take damage. You can also tie it to a textual indicator to see the amount of damage reported by the combat log event.
I find it useful. Your mileage may vary. Meloeth's InstantHealth addon is awesome, and if you don't use Grid, or don't want to deal with the setting up Grid to use a seperate alert, you should really try it.
