I just found this thread having literally just started playing SWTOR and having been a healer in other MMO's. I've done a fair bit of heroic raid healing and PVP in WoW for example where I use Healbot. I also use CBH in Rift. The solo story side seems really good so far but I play MMO's to heal in group content and with the lack of mouse over I probably won't continue. I can live without the two addons I mentioned above as I can write my own mouse over macro's but not having mouse-over at all is too much. For me, not having mouse-over as a healer is like not having key bindings as a tank/tdps. Not being able to mouse over is a bit like being forced to spell click. I mean why not just ban key binds? After all (to quote some other posters) "it would be a level playing field" and "if people are so lazy they want to use keybinds then they probably shouldn't be playing anyway". In WoW you are considered bad if you aren't using mouse-over because healing without mouse-over is second rate substandard play. I guess for me it is like learning to ride a bicycle without stabilisers and then suddenly being forced to use them again with all the restrictions on your speed that entails. Wanting to remove the stabilisers does not make you lazy or bad even though it technically requires more skill to corner with stabilisers! I don't want to heal in such a slow pedantic way especially as others pointed out, having to have something targeted to heal it prevents you from using your skill to perform other tasks such as rapidly interrupting enemies whilst simultaneously healing etc. It has been the greatest thing that put me off even trying out this game until now.
