You have a few choices, each having their own strengths and weaknesses.
Any unit frame AddOn can show Auras (buffs/debuffs), and most can filter by what you can cast or dispel. Suggestions include PitBull4, Stuf Unit Frames, Shadowed Unit Frames, oUF + a layout, RDX + a theme...
Decursive, which uses Mini Unit Frames (MUFs) which light up either red (spell/curse) or blue (disease). Probably the easiest to see who needs what when.
A nameplate AddOn (TidyPlates or other). Disadvantages being it can become a visual mess just like the built in nameplates, and you might not be in line of sight of all the players in your group.
On a side note, since you play a healer, I suggest SmartRes2 and get resurrections under control. Of course, this is a self-plug, but it is still a highly useful AddOn to add to your arsenal.
You can find all or almost all AddOns on both Curse.com and WoWInterface.com.

As disc, you also want a way to track Rapture - Ingela's Rapture does the job very well. It just does that, but it does that well.

Decursive is fantastic, but like its been stated check stuff out for yourself and see what suits you

I've used grid since BC and continue to track what I dispel with it.
Purify
will remove all magic and disease debuffs, and although
Mass Dispel
only removes magic debuffs, it still maintains an AoE. Because
Purify
will remove both, all you have to do is know something is on the target (I only track magic and disease debuffs, completely ignoring poisons and curses) and you'll be able to remove all stacks. In current content I cannot think of any disease going out to a mass group of people, keeping you from blowing a
MD
CD on diseases.
MD
is simultaneously offensive and defensive, making it rarely a wasted cast in battlegrounds.
As blowtorch mentioned, tracking
Rapture
as Disc is vital, and
Ingela's Rapture
works wonders. Granted, I use both Ingela's Rapture and a
Gnosis
cast bar but it's redundant. Likewise, through
Grid
I'll track
Grace
,
PoM
,
Renew
, Aggro,
Weakened Soul
, and incoming heals;
Gnosis
tracks most CD's.

I'm using;
Grid
for raids. It's very easy to configure to show certain buffs/debuffs in certain areas of each player's unit frame.
Power Auras Classic
for tracking my own cooldowns and effects. For example; I have a purple texture above my character's head appear whenever my Shadowfiend is on cooldown, with a countdown timer right underneath it.
Shadowed Unit Frames
for my own Unit frame as well for my 5-man parties as it's a lot better looking and easier to setup than Grid is. (Although Grid works better for raids)
KuiNameplates
for easy tracking of players' health and buffs (or debuffs for enemies).
