Setting up Healbot?

Not sure where else to post this, but it is related to resto druid specific setup.
I've gone through most of the options but i was wondering if there is a site someplace that steps you through how to get it setup to work right.
I think the thing i'm stuck on most is how do i enable mouseover of my healing abilities?
Instead of clicking someone, then clicking a heal spell, just hover my mouse over them, and click what i want.
I see how to bind specific abilities to buttons that i can press just 1 button while hovering over them, but i want to do that with abilities on my bars too.
Basically the only button i want mapped to something specific is middle mouse to decurse. Then i want to hover over peoples boxes and click the spells on my bars.

Setup macros:
#showtooltip Regrowth
/cast Regrowth
#showtooltip Lifebloom
/cast Lifebloom
And so on and so on. I'm almost 100% certain the macro is right.
Someone else can perhaps correct it if it's not right.

So the addon doesn't do it automatically? i have to set up a macro for each and every ability?
I could have sworn i used an add-on that did this sometime in the past.

most addon do not have mouseover function, since you can do it with macro.
It cuts down the addon size and memory usage.
For the macro, it is better to add a friendly/live setting instead of just mouseover.

You only need to make macros if you are wanting to heal via mouseover, that isn't what healbot is/does. For healbot you set the spell you want to use to a mouse button or button+key, hover over their healbot frame and click...you don't press buttons on your hotbar. If you want to do that you would need to use a macro to /click <buttonname> and then set it to a click, but with even a 3 button mouse you would have to be using alot of spells to run out of room and need to do that.
An example:
Open the options menu and go to the spells tab along the bottom
from the narrow dropdown menu near the top select Left (this refers to your left mouse button)
in the top wide dropdown labeled click, select Rejuvination and press the big red select button to the side
Now left click your healbot health bar, it should cast Rejuvination on you. (you may need to close the options menu to make it refresh...don't panic if it doesn't fire on that one first click)
Now you can go back and assign other heals to clicks. For myself I use a mouse with lots n lots of buttons but my primary heals are
left-rejuv
shift left-regrowth
middle-nourish
right-healing touch
shift right- tranquility
button4 (side button) - lifebloom
for heals that do not require a specific target like wild growth I just have on my hotbar and cast on myself.

i prefer to not mouse click. i like keeping things on keyboard binds, and just hover over a nameplate and click the keyboard bind.

Then healbot is not for you :) I'm not sure if there is an addon that creates the mouseovers for you, I haven't heard of such an addon but there might be such a thingamajig...GOOD LUCK :D

Theres many things about healbot that i have come to like.
Auto Rez if i click someone who is dead.
Auto Buff if i click someone without a buff.
Threat levels
Debuff colored boxes
Right now i just setup left click to be target, and right click to be dispel. I'll make macro's of dispel and all my heals and it should work like i want it to.

Does clique + grid still have that functionality, where you can mouseover, and then press the button you want?
