Hey there! I was playing holy priest for long time, now I'm shadow :). Grid, in my opinion, is best healing addon you can get. The people who are gray means you are out of range to heal them and you can disable the debuffs in options menu, just use decursive for that.

I "have" grid, but hardly ever look at it. Personally I prefer healbot whether I'm shadow or holy specced. The big difference I've noticed is grid allows you to click on a "box" and you target that player whereas healbot allows you to cast spells by clicking on the "box."

I have been raiding and happily using Xperl unitframes for a long time. Now however I have changed guilds and (amazingly) am in ranked #1 guild on server. It is basically listen to their rules or dont raid.
That being said, they would like me to start using Grid addon versus the Xperl. I downloaded Grid and tried to mess when it, then jumped into a BG to try and test out its makeup, and I just cannot get it to work! Everyone is grey, where it shows health deficits in #s, its overwritten/hard to see by the debuff icons.
I was wondering if anyone can give me some pointers on how to set this up for a holy priest, in 25man content. I would like to:
1) Be able to see the class colors on the grid
2) Show which targets have aggro (Figured that one out)
3) Show which targets have a debuff and WHAT debuff/what kind it is. (Icon and color)
-- Am I just dense or is this addon hard to configure? lol
Grid is not hard to configure. It is just not a out of the box ready addon like XPerl. The power of grid resides in the fact that you can customize it behave the way you want it.
You will
HAVE
to take some time to mess around with it but once you get it figured all up, you might actually be very pleased.

How is that a step up from Healbot then? I'm paying attention to everything...and am able to do that w/o sacrificing any healing.

You'll also notice that with Clique, key&click binding combos are far easier to setup than they are with healbot.
it also provides more modifiers to use which means that when you have around 15+ spells to key&mouse combo you wont require a 5 button mouse to do so.
clique also allows you to control which frames in your interface you want its actions to apply to.
I can't believe healbot STILL requires you to type in the spell names when setting up bindings.
At least they got one thing right by including the latest libHealComm-3.0 so grid healers can now see healbot users heals. Now you just need to get your lazy healbot counterparts to actually update their stupid mod.
The final advantage of Clique is that it isn't just for healers, when you have clique you dont need decursive.
On my paladin tank i have a combo setup for taunting, hand of protection, cleanse etc.

also another thing with grid is that there are a lot of plugins for it that can make it even better then just it's basic framework.
Like:
GridAlert
GridIndicatorSideIcons
GridManaBars
GridSideIndicators
GridStatusRaidDebuff
GridStatusHots
GridStatusMending
all can be gotten from
here
and for help setting it up head
here
and go down to the section: IX b. Setting up GRID to be useful as a Priest
The first setup for GRID was a pain in the ass but once you got it working it's awesome, what's even better is you can set up your own debuffs, like Kel's Frost blast, when that hits someone their frame for me lights up making it insanely easy to find. As others have said you really should pair it up with "Clique" sort of annoying to set up but awesome once you do.
