Yes, there's a UI thread at the top. But it didn't feel right for me to arbitrarily go in there and just download the images and plaster them up on the blog. Wanted to create a separate thread. Had an idea to create a blog post (or series of posts) that highlight different UIs from different healers to show similarities/differences.

Even if you're not a healer, feel free to submit your own!

If you're interested in participating, would love to see it a format where you include a brief sentence about yourself and a line or 2 about your UI.

Example:

Link to Matt's oversized UI (You can also include this as a link with a thumbnail which would help)

Matticus plays a Holy Priest on Ner'Zhul. Relies mostly on Pitbull for raid frames and prefers to use a HuD when soloing. Also features raiding addons such as Recount and oRA to get a handle of how the raid is performing. TipTac is the preferred tooltip mod of choice.

If you have a blog, be sure to include a link!

I'll be choosing 50 at my discretion when it reaches or exceeds that mark!

EDIT: Turned on forum attachments.

EDIT2: Maximum file size of 1000kb (per attachment, 1 attachment per post)

Joveta plays a holy priest on US Scarlet Crusade. She uses Pitbull for player/target frames, Grid for raid frames, and Dominos for her action bars. As a heal lead, she keeps Recount running, though usually hidden from view.

(and my blog link is in the sig :P)

I (Dervex) play a Holy Paladin on Kul Tiras - US. The main (healing) components of the UI I use are Pitbull for unit/raid frames, Clique for click-casting, Dominos for action bars. Also uses Quartz for castbar and running recount to keep track of raid performance.

*Note: I did not design or create this UI, it is known as ArkiveUI (http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/i ... creen.html)

The two attached files are a screenshot of the UI in action and a general layout concept of the UI.

Rilgon of Stabilized Effort Scope plays a Marksmanship Hunter who uses more healer-based macros and add-ons than any self-respecting Hunter should, to get the most out of his awesome Gift of the Naaru. Unit frames, both party and raid, are handled by ag_UnitFrames, with Phaytal's DHUD providing information on target, self, and pet energy and health status. Elkano's Buff Bars provide information of self-buffs as well as Serpent Sting tracking (for proper management), and Recount/Omen 3.0 for proper data collection to aid the raid logistically. Hidden Bartender4 buttons contain mouseover and focus-based macros for Gift of the Naaru in reactionary settings. Rilgon also plays a (currently low-level) Discipline Priest, who uses the same base UI.

Jessmyn is a resto druid on Draenor US. I'm also a bit fussy about screen space so I use as little as possible.

1. Grid for party/raid bars
2. Clique for casting (no, I'm not a clicker even tho my buttons are visible...lol)
3. DoT Timers to track HoT's, cooldowns
4. Buffalo buff timers
5. Omen
6. Autobar to save action bar space yet easily access pots, quest items, pets, mounts, etc
7 Sexymap
8 tiptac for tooltips

Grid I absolutely cannot live without, and I use ag_unitframes for my/target/focus frames. I prefer to use mouseover macros and Bartender4.

Some of the additional mods not seen are recount and omen (that stay hidden unless I have a need to see them) and tiptac.

Utada is a Mage on Ner'zhul (US). She doesn't heal, she DPS. 90% of the UI is to make it look cool, the other 10% is actually useful.

Image

The useful mods are:

    Quartz
    CooldownTimers
    Omen

The rest of the mods I could raid without, but I like my UI all cluttered. Maybe its a DPS thing...
I also posted about my UI here: User Interface

Pitbull
Dominos
Grid with Clique
Recount
Omen
Clean Minimap
Minimap Button Frame

My UI was compiled for me by my good friend Immortalus to mimic old school Photek pre-BC. It was beautiful in BC, but we're still working out some minor details. Now that a lot of information saves server side, it requires a LOT more tinkering to fix. Main problem? If anyone logs on your account (as my boyfriend who lives with me discovered), it can completely WRECK the UI. Which is why it's still in progress. It's not really much of a compilation anymore as he's manually fixed each mod wrong with the package himself (we're impatient). A couple of novelty add on's have been added, such as MyRolePlay (lol RP server).

When zipped up, I'll have to cut down a lot of things. For instance, the four year loot link database we've acquired @_@ Current party members, including minions, occupy the top frame while my raid frames are off to the right side. I keep the healing meters and omen disabled, considering how many buff bars I can get going at once. Due to such, I've still yet to find a good place for the mini bar.

TL;DR (aka the 2 sentences you ask):
ImmoUI is still incomplete, as I will never be satisfied with a UI compilation. As disc, I prefer to have all the details of my raid readily available - including their debuffs and mana bar, so I can give a caster with the mana Power Infusion and prepare my Penance for a player who's about to take some nasty debuff damage.

My UI is similar to Matts.... Ive had other incarnations in the past as well... but I really like this setup. My character is Pallylust, a holy paladin on the US server Draenor. My blog is http://www.altoholicsareus.com and there is a breakdown of all the UI elements there.

This is my UI: Old screenshot since I've rebuilt my UI

I try new arrangements every time I redo it, but I always return to my basic layout of grid in middle after a day (probably because it really suits my healing style the best). Grid is the focus of the layout. I used to release it, but haven't lately. The UI is mainly built around pve raiding. Pitbull, Grid, Clique, Dominos are the mainstays, with several mods for fluff.

I've played a priest since beta, and I've memorized my keybinds by heart, so the buttons you see on there, are really the only buttons I have configured =P

multiple edits: playing with posting codes!

Lodur's UI

Lodur is a Restoration Shaman on Zul'jin. Unit frame mod of choice is grid in all its glory. For personal health bars he's become quite fond of Diablo Orbs. Tracking raid information is done through Raid Cooldown, and he has become particularly addicted to the totem mod Yata.

Blog: Click signture to be taken to Way of The Totem.

Blog entry about UI's:http://wayofthetotem.blogspot.com/2008/12/oh-taking-your-advice-im-looking-on.html explains a bit more about the mods of choice =)

Lightpelt's UI

I am a Resto Druid from the Blackwater Raiders server, and healing lead for my guild, Eternal Legacy. I try to make efficient use of space a priority in my UI, while maintaining as much open space as possible. Grid with Clique is my primary unit frame for raiding, along with AG Unit Frames for the bits that Grid doesn't cover. I also rely heavily on Whammy Bar, an add-on that provides collapsible automated bars for trade skills, consumables, and more. Spell Reminder provides the cool down timers; I like it because it allows a lot of control over what displays, and how prominent it is. The graphical component at the bottom of the screen is provided by Sunn Art, and I feel that it really helps pull the whole UI together in a clean and attractive manner. (There are many more, both visible and hidden, but those are the basics.)

Evissadia is a holy priest on Echo Isles - US. Aside from the manditory Grid/Clique combo, I use Pitbull, Sexymap, oRA2, Dotimers, Fubar, Omen, Prat, Decursive and Aperture. I chose to remain with the stock bars for purely cosmetic reasons (I love the look of it against the black background that Aperture provides)

RatingBuster
SellFish (gives a sell price for items in your bags)
