I like healbot + decursive + Xperl.
I get a lot of redundant knowledge.
don't forget your boss mod... and something like Event Alert.
As well, I recommend you search the forums for similar topics. I believe we've discussed this ad nauseum several times. Might be worth your time. :-)

Besides the basic raid/grouping addons, for my UI I use:
Xpearl (elegantly customized)
Bartender4 (ditto)
LOTS of macros (particularly mouseover macros)
That's really all that makes my UI as far as grouping goes.
I have Xpearl set up to best show me health bars without clogging up the screen too much.
Bartender4 let's me set up my action bars that better represent by keybinds, as well as resive them to not take up so much space. I have everything on a keybind save items/spell can can only be cast out of combat.
Mouseover macros can save you the hassle of getting another addon to do that same task.
Combining these I have lightning fast reaction time when healing tricky situations, like Kel'thuzad's ice blocks.
Good unit frames + keybinds + mouseover + skill + practice = epic healing

I can't speak to spriesting, but I do recommend Grid + mouseover macros for healing and grinding.
I use variations on this macro, so I can use the same macros for grilnding and for healing. If your target or mouseover is an enemy, you mindblast. If it's an ally, you flash heal. If you press shift, you binding heal.
#showtooltip
/cast Binding Heal; Mind Blast; Flash Heal; Flash Heal; Mind Blast
I'm pretty sure that the syntac is all right, but I'll check it when I get home.
I have grown to love this type of macro and so have almost all of my spells bound on 1-6. Anyway, something to try if you like messing around with macros.

Whatever your mouse tip is over, when you hit the macro-button, it will cast the spell.
Mostly they are used with an interface like Grid or Healbot where you can hover your mouse tip over icons of raid members and quickly hit the button to use the macro.
Response time is way, way fast with them.
To a lesser extent, you can also use them in the field of play and mouseover toons running around. You can also use them on frames such as a Bosses, and their target (assuming you have target of target activated in your interface).
Hope that helps.

new world for me.
another question about mouseover macros......can there be multiple spells set up for mouseover on a single target? i.e. one for penence and one for flash heal?
The only way I know of is with a modifier, meaning you have to push Shift or Control in addition to the button that the macro is bound to. You can look at my macro up above to see how I did it for Flash heal and Binding heal together on the same button.
