Grid is not as easy to setup, but its worth it. If you have any experience tinkering with other unit frame addons like pitbull, you wont find it too confusing. Oh yea, i like pitbull unit frames as well :)

is very good. it's got more of a 'healbot' feel but it can do a grid style layout if that's what you're more comfortable with.
all in all, it's an excellent healing addon.

healbot is just a well-known VERY good add-on for healing. Sry but that guild know-it-alls are wrong.
grid is great too, the only difference is the contribution with your other addons, playing style and taste to be honest.

ok, i admit i didn't actually read the OP the first time >.<
but now i have... the guild you're applying to demands that their healers don't use healbot? they're idiots. take this as a sign. withdraw your application and find a real guild.
you don't have to choose progression at the cost of fun or happiness. you don't have to join a group of imbeciles to see the top content.

Healbot blows, it's bulky and disgusting.
Grid (HIGHLY customizable, and i'd guess nearly 90% of your new guild uses it so they can help you set it up for a state of pure win) is amazing. Clique is very very easy to set up, you simply open the config panel, open your spellbook and do the correct "Clique" that you want that spell to be bound to.
Example: Shift Left Click is Abolish Psn while Shift Right Click is Remove Curse, for me. (When I am Resto it changes up a bit).
Grid + Clique will give you the same setup and feel as Healbot but much nicer looking, more compact, and very customizable. You can make it show pets, no pets, curses, no curses and you can make the player frame a big square or anything else you can imagine (almost). Get the picture?

hmm, well, you can do all those things with healbot. it even has the little square layout as a preset if you like it so much.
people get very silly about grid vs. healbot.
use whatever you find the easiest. the one that gives you all the information you need and allows to to react to that information the easiest. at this point there's nothing that grid can do that something like healbot or vuhdo can't. it's just about what feels the most intuitive to the player.
we should leave the "my addon's bigger than your addon" crap in the playground and so should the guild in question.

grid is a modular addon. to get more specific information you will have to get specific plugins. gridStatusHots is one that i had when i used grid. i'm sure others can give you the specific names of the other plugins you'll want. grid can track times on HoTs but there's a limit to how much of that timed information you can show and most hot times will be displayed by a change of colour.
you know though, my biggest problem with grid was that i hover my mouse over the person i want to heal and my pointer covers up some of the information i need because the info is all inside the HP bar.
the only reason i eventually had to chose grid over healbot (or similar) was that it was more compact and took up less screen real estate but i found that i was less able to react to changes in my group/raid's health since the bars were smaller and my pointer got in the way.
well, the alternative that i keep going on about, vuhdo, can show HoT icons inside or outside the bar and can show the HoTs with timers or not wherever the HoT icon is placed. it can have big chunky bars with information like the characters name, class, health and mana or just be a little box with minimal supplementary information.
given all the options i know which addons i'm most comfortable with ^_^

Honestly, use whatever works for you, but I just use WoWs default UI. It shows who is in range, who has agro from mobs and debuffs that need to be removed.
And yes, I top meters using the default UI.

. i'm sure the answers you seek are within.
i didn't use grid for very long but i had it changing colour and showing WG so i'm sure it's just a single plugin or setting you're missing.
