All About Vuhdo (Healing Addon)

The best overall information I've found on setting up Vuhdo is on Hots & Dots.  This is an introduction dated October 2009 showcasing some of the things Vuhdo does with screenshots.
http://www.hotsdots.com/2009/10/improving-the-interface-using-addons-vuhdo-raid-frames/

Hots & Dots followed up in December 2009 with an article about the layout settings the author uses.  She plays a resto druid mainly.

Here is the Vuhdo wiki. It has a setup walkthrough, a FAQ page, and class specific tips.

Big Bear Butt installed and tested Vuhdo in June of 2009 and really liked it.  However, there's been no followup posting on his blog about how it preforms over time.

Rolling Hots installed Vuhdo in July of 2009, and writes about his experience here.

Power Auras Addon Review

No Stock UI looks at how Power Auras Classic works in raids to make a player more aware of all that is happening around him/her. Basically you program the auras you want to track and specify visual cues for each. You'll see lots of examples of how this works with the writer's restoration and elemental shaman characters.

Note that there are a lot of links to Power Auras here. Use the search box at the top left hand corner to find all the blog entries on this topic.
