This is great. I like the horizontal style and the 2 bars for player specific buffs (right?!?).

Why does it suck for healing? Only reason I can think of are colors, rather dark foreground (health bar) + background doesn't work well. While a class colored or static bright colored foreground wouldn't fit the unit style/texture. However, a bright (or class colored) background and a static dark foreground color would work fine. It would make the healthbars stand out when not full, without messing up the appearance otherwise.

I would really like to see this released, already liked your previous unit frames (shown on those old indicator addon screenshots).
