Bard teams are pretty damn nifty

Thanks Alge.
I meant more about how to put them to good use, than the technical requirements.
For example how you used them to ease npc interaction like quest givers.

I would love to find a way to get mouse over healing to work them.
There are times when I don't run my full team; where my wife and maybe my son jump in. In those cases healing with macros is difficult. I usually just end up controlling a healer as the main.

I don't think video feeds (aka video FX) are the solution to healing in RIFT. I guess you could create an interactive feed of your healer's party frames but I think the very slight lag you get with video FX might be off-putting. I'd love for someone to prove me wrong.

Alternatively, if you can guarantee the raid frames are always available to you then this method (http://www.dual-boxing.com/showthread.php?t=33614) might work. I haven't tried it yet for RIFT but plan to in the near future; I'm currently using a click bar + macro healing system that relies on knowing the names of all party members in advance. You can't do the method described in the above guide with the normal party frames because the order is not consistent across all characters, but it is for raid frames. Despite what the game says, there appears to be no xp or gold penalty for making your 5-man party into a raid.
