OK this is a jotpad post - read it if you want but no promises that it will make sense. But first a joke:
As I spoke about yesterday I heal using Healbot. I use Decursive for my dispel magic and cure/abolish disease spells.
Healbot Configuration
I know I am not utilising this to the maximum of its capabilities as I only cast 9 spells using it:
I used to just heal with the first 6 spells above - and I am still not fluent with the 'alt' set of spells - often casting these off my toolbar. I don't use the 'ctrl' modifier as I use left-ctrl for Ventrilo
Talking of my tool bar - I do not use bartender or any other toolbar addon so all my spells have macroed - so left click casts on target and right click casts on me.
I am slowly leveling a horde priest - and as I am only level 33 I really only have 4 heals on that toon. In that case I have the following set up:
OK My First Set Of Thoughts
OK to make things easier to type here is the terminology I will use:

OK to make things easier to type here is the terminology I will use:
- I don't care that renew is deemed a bad disc priest spell - I like its buffering affect on the pull and will continue to use it
- Greater Heal - I use this so infreqently it doesnt need to be a tier two spell and should me moved to tier three.
- PW:S is the discs bread and butter and should probably be a tier one spell. However I worry that its current config is so ingrained I might struggle rewiring my brain.
- Binding Heal I really don't use enough.
- Prayer of Healing and Desparate Prayer are generally fired off of my toolbar rather than with healbot.
- Other spells only used off of toolbar - Power Infusion, Pain Supression, Hymn of Hope, Divine Hymn, Fade, Inner Focus and Holy Nova.
- Divine Hymn is macro'd to crit trinket and Inner Focus
- Spells which should probably be better cast from healbot - Pain Supression
- Greater heal gets demoted - just dont know for what yet.

I reckon you are short changing yourself by not using Ctrl. My Disc setup look likes this:
LEFT: FLASH HEAL
MIDDLE: SHIELD
RIGHT: PENANCE
CTRL - LEFT: Greater Heal
CTRL- MIDDLE: Power Infusion
CTRL - RIGHT: Binding Heal
SHIFT- LEFT: POMending
SHIFT- MIDDLE: Renew
SHIFT-RIGHT: PoH
ALT-LEFT: AB Disease
ALT-MIDDLE: PAIN SUPPRESS
ALT-RIGHT: DISPEL MAGIC
I'm not specced into Desperate Prayer. I have Decursive but keep AB Disease and Dispel Magic on HB as well and tend to use whatever is closer to my cursor at the time. As a shield spammer, having a one button shield makes a lot of sense to me--I don't think it would take a long time to relearn it if you tried. Not that I think my way is perfect, but it does give me all the spells that I regularly use on HB--so no dragging the mouse down to the bottom bar and away from raid frames.
Good luck on Rotface - I HATE it when I get the slime (where did that big slime go???).
If you want to move GH off, move PS in its place.
Whenever I change my Clique setup, I usually set aside some time to go to AV or Wintergrasp and bg heal. There's not as much pressure to get everything right and by the time one or two bgs are done, I have the muscle memory worked out.
Just i thought. I switched from Healbot to Vuhdo because to gain the use of mouse wheel up/down. I never could figure out how to do it in Healbot.
i.e
LEFT: Flash Heal
MIDDLE: Renew
RIGHT: Penance
MOUSE WHEEL UP: Power Word: Shield
MOUSE WHEEL DOWN: Prayer of Mending
ALT-LEFT: Prayer of Healing
ALT-MIDDLE: Pain Suppression
ALT-RIGHT: Greater Heal
ALT-MOUSE WHEEL UP: Binding Heal
ALT-MOUSE WHEEL DOWN: Desperate Prayer
So I get the majority of my spells using this combo and don't need to worry about CTRL or SHIFT at all. I also use Decursive for my dispel magic and cure/abolish disease spells.
I use Healbot too on my priest. My setup is weird, I won't even talk about it. I need to redo it. You should definitely use CTRL.
