So I figured this might help some people, especially priests, though most of the general ideas work for all healers. He also has quite a few great addons, and one specifically for MSBT that is insanely good.

Dispel And You, a documentary.
I've decided to remove my addon package. it was just confusing too many ppl. just dl the mods and config them manually.
Aloft:
This addon allows you to customize combat frames. if you've ever pressed "V" or "CTRL V" and saw bars pop up for people around you, well this mod lets you customize those bars.
Bongos2:
A button mod! this mod allows you to bind keys directly to your spell book or via thousands of button slots (if there is a human being that can bind over 1,000 buttons, my hat goes off to you). You might notice there arent any buttons on my screen. this mod allows me to hide them all.
Capping:
This mod shows information about BG's and que times. such as time until a tower in AV is capped.
Cooling & JIM's Cooldown Pulse:
These are the mods i use to track my cooldowns. cooling shows all my cooldowns with timers of when they'll be usable again. cooldown pulse quickly flashes abilities in the center of my screen when theyre up again, as an additional reminder.
DHUD:
Shows my health and mana. i turn off literally 95% of the options, so play around with it and you might find something useful.
eCastingBar:
This will show your cast bar, targets cast bars, focus cast bars, etc. its very customizable too.
ElkanoBuffBars:
Coolest buff/debuff track mod ever. i havent dabbled into the good stuff yet, but you can do some crazy stuff with this mod. for example, you can have it show specific buffs in a specific location, or even change the names of buffs. i plan to change "Unstable Affliction" to "OMG YOU GOT HERPS!" =P.
Healbot:
i went over this in my video slightly, i could talk about it for hours. its simply amzing. i custom edited the files a little to allow the bars to be bigger, and if you need i can show how to do that as well. its a bit tricky and you need to play with the code.
Itemrack:
allows keybindings to change gear sets. so at the push of a button, im in my pve gear, or naked (wink wink), or pvp gear, OR SMITE GEAR!, etc.
MagicTrack:
this is a great addon, kind of underground atm. i dont use it anymore because i can implement the same ideas into Mik's, but its very easy to use if you dont have the time to play around with Mik's.
Mik'sScrollingCombatText:
went over some of this in my video. simply put this mod can do anything but fix the kitchen sink.
Pitbull:
my target, target of target, target of target of target, focus target, mouseover target, etc frame mod. tons of options. i love options, dey feel gud.
Power Auras:
i think i went over this in the videos enough to make you bored to tears.
Proximo:
this is a MUST HAVE!!!!! for anyone who does arena. it shows your enemy's health bars, which you can then set macros to. in your keybindings, you can set right click to enemy 1, enemy 2, etc. well, what good is this? you can set right click to a macro or ability. so for example i have macros set to cast dispel on enemy 1, enemy 2, etc. if im ever at a point where im idle, i can just smash those buttons and watch my enemies buffs be stripped.
QuestHelper:
A must have for leveling. it basically allows you to watch tv as you level. does all the work for you. a little arrow appears on your minimap, you follow it, quests get done.
Ranger:
went over this in the video, range indicator.
TargetCheck:
shows who in your raid is targetting your current target, or who isnt. has class filters as well, and will even show their mana bars. very useful for raid healers to see whos already about to heal your target, and if they have enough mana.
Titan Panel:
and all the goodies that come with it. has lots of status checks.
XPerl Core (ONLY THE CORE!)
i dont use XPerl unit frames, however i keep the core part of the addon active. it shows player names by color for class.
