Healing spells across classes

EDIT 2011 April, 30: This is likley outdated now with the changes to healing in 4.X so totally disregard this post :) .


 I decided to go through my spells on all my character (by copy/pasting the spells from the wiki) and singling out the spells that may be of benefit for a heals to use so that I can more easily sort out how my clique bindings will work for each of my classes of heals (yes, I play them all, I collected them all too until HeartGold/SoulSilver but that is another thing)

Some notes: Multi heals are more fluid, affecting who ever they feel like. Party heals are for only you and up to four others in your numbered party, and group or raid heals are for anyone. I decided to not split the paladin hands and put them all up there. I did not remove spells that are trumped by other spells (the non-hot cures, that bastard priest heal, Paladin purify) or add spells that are the result of glyphing.

I noticed a bit of a problem with the increase effectiveness portion as I went through the more support oriented paladin and disc priest specs where the spells cover more than just +something but still do not actually heal a target.

My initial goal with this was to cut apart the spells and place them on a model 5 button mouse for placement, our printer is broken so this is the closest I can get now. I still will probably end up doing the above just for the thrill of possible paper cuts :D .
