Holy Power in UI, need feedback.

I've been messing around with different ways to display holy power, and I'm kind of stuck.

At first I used a simple number above the target (in the same way I display combo points), and it worked perfectly, except that combo points are only shown if you have a target and holy power is always shown. Without a target, the position of the number felt out of place, but it's the only place where it's really noticeable.

So I tried a bar display. A 1-pixel high bar, like my power bar, didn't quite work out because it wasn't very visible. So I changed it to 2 pixels, but it's still not perfect. Then I added some glow around my player frame (we love glow) to emphasize when I have 3 holy power, but still it just doesn't feel right. Here's some pics:





What should I do? Change the bar colour so it stands out more? Just stick to the number? Do something else?

Any feedback is appreciated.
