In L2Disc - An overview of Discipline Priest raiding, I mentioned that I wanted an AddOn which can track my Prayer of Mending. Specifically, I want to know when I should be casting it so it's bouncing around out in the field.
Some people don't care, because they regularly re-cast it. I find this rather inefficient, although I do see how it can be annoying to have the mending "stuck" on some too-rarely-damaged pet.
Other people talk about having HealBot or Grid display a Prayer of Mending icon. This isn't useful at all to me, because it doesn't notify me when it's absent - there's just too much stuff going on for me to deal with scanning 25 raid positions for that icon.
