keybound/click based ui
Throughout leveling, I loved healbot, and then later transitioned to Vuhdo. After joining a less casual (still not 'hardcore') raiding guild, I was prompted into making a change and swapped to Grid. I've gotten used to grid now, but as of late, I've noticed GridStatusLifebloom seems out of commission, as well as having other problems with error messages and such. I am considering swapping back to Vuhdo, but not only is that swapping my primary healing frames, but also swapping from keybound to click based again. I was wondering, out of other druids, who all has used both methods and their opinions of each?
Also, in a separate question, I've found that I like having a basic raid frame in addition to my healing one- to show myself, target, focus, etc. With a 15.5" laptop with limited capability in memory, being a few years old, I am constantly torn between pitbull and x-perl. I've been using pitbull and configuring it is a pain in my posterior, but is x-perl as useful for individual frames? I know that it has good party and raid based groupings, but not sure on individual, and was wondering if, like the previous question, could explain their preferences and why?

I use Shadowed unit frames myself so I don't know. Its extremely customizable, I really can't imagine any reason to switch. A lot of people in my guild complained around 4.0 about xpearl or pitbull, but SUF has performed for me through all the patches with no hiccups.

Quick question here for Hamlet;
YouTube - Cataclysm Raid Test: Bastion of Twilight, Twin Dragons
Which addon is it you're using to track your lifebloom (bar) above ur raid frame?
Can said addon track other things such as your cyclones and what not, like natur enemy castbar used to in TBC?

@Silentdeadthz - He's probably using HotCandy.

I haven't had any grid errors in weeks. There are two things you could try. If you use the Curse addon manager, you can try changing the release type of the addon from "release" to "beta", by right clicking on the specific addon you are having problems with. I know that worked for several addons after 4.0.1 came out, but I don't remember if GSLifebloom was one of them. Also, you might need to manually edit the Lua file. Do a search on the specific error and see if there is any recent chatter about it. Some times you can find a quick fix or copy/paste.

eta - there are a lot of warlock specific parts of that addon, but the cooldown timer and spell timer are fantastic for any class.

In my videos, the all-in-one cooldown bar is SexyCooldown and the Lifebloom timer is HotCandy. Both are pretty common functionality though, with various mods that do similar things.
I'm actually shifting away from the cooldown bar and am thinking of getting rid of it whenever I next change things around (more to do with Moonkin than Resto, although I'm not sure it's all that great for Resto either). The Lifebloom bar I recommend for anyone, it makes a lot more sense now than tracking LB only in your raid frames--with only one up at once it's nice to see when to refresh without having to look at individual frames.

Thanks for the reply Hamlet!
I like the cooldown bar to tell me when ToL or innavate is ready. But I tried sexycooldown and it displays neither no matter what settings I enable. What do other people use the track the longer cooldowns?
Thanks

As far as i know, SexyCooldown isnt updated for cata. You may want to take a look at the user made version posted by Apoco link
As an alternative, you can use the cooldown module of ForteXorcist to do the same thing.
On a sidenote:
To track the internal cd of Nature's Grace with the ForteXorcist Cooldown Bar, you can simply add the following line to the Forte_Druid.lua:
CD:RegisterHiddenCooldown(nil,61346,60); -- Nature's Grace
-> fixed 60 sec, so its not accurate when in moonkin spec

Does anyone have a good recommendation for an addon to maximize Nature's Grace uptime? The challenge of course is its an internal cd. Some kind of timer and preferable power aura type pop up would be preferred.

You may want to check out NeedToKnow ( link) - it's able to track all kinds of cooldowns and the author recently added the option to reset cooldowns based on the presence of another buff (eclipse resetting NG cd for example).
If you never play moonkin, static cooldown trackers like ForteXorcist (setup) or ICDBars do the job just fine
As for PowerAuras, you can vote for the Feature Request to track internal Cooldowns at http://powerauras.wikispaces.com/

Or maybe use Koko SpellOverlays to tune up the blizz-effects.
