I'm trying to get into pvp battleground healing as a level 82 priest (soon to be Disc), and I was wondering if anyone can point me towards when is generally seen as the best addon for this? In terms of advice, I've been pinballed between Healbot, VuhDo and Healium, so I was wondering if there was a general consensus that I'm not aware of towards which somebody on here could point me :)
Thanks in advance.

It all depends on which add-on has the features you want and need. Back when I was healing a lot, I got compliments all the time and all I ever used was the oUF layout that comes stock with ElvUI and mouseover macros combined with Clique for dispels.
In short:
Identify what you need
Identify what you want
Figure out which add-on gives you those qualities better than the others
Configure it and keep it
Ditch the others

Do you mind if I ask what you mean by the 'oUF layout' and the 'ElvUI'?
Also, thanks for the response :)

it may not be what your asking for but i dont use any healing addons just mouseover macros as i dont like to heal with just using the mouse and modefiers
so if you want to try something different than the usual healing addons you can try mouseover macros (you still need addons which show you debuffs on your party members)

Here is a showcase of ElvUI configurations:

In a lot of those shots, you'll see Grid-like unit frames complete with colored buff indicators. Here is one:

.
ElvUI pre-configures and installs a unit frame add-on called oUF (other unit frame add-ons being Grid, VuhDo, Healbot, etc).

Thanks very much for the help both of you :) I'll look into trying it all!
I'm giving Healium a trial run at the moment. Unfortunately, I've only been getting 40 man bgs from the random bg finder, and it is simply far too bulky to be serviceable in a 40 man environment!

Healbot is the best for resto druids without a doubt, or atleast thats my oppinion. Healbot is great for HoT healing, quick view of the overall health of a raid, in range of heals, dispell or remove of curses etc. and it is very configurable.
HoT spells are usually instant cast, which means you can run around while putting HoTs on your raid team. You can quickly see who has a debuff (bars turn into another color), how many HoTs you have out and how much time left on them.
You can compare this to what you need. Good Luck.
