This is just a thought I had while watching my Druid die harvesting in Hyjal...
I know there are plans to someday turn GB into an HB plugin, but it seems like that's a long way off due to the amount of effort involved. But as an alternative, it seems like it would be possible to run both together, and pick up most of the same functionality if a few smaller modifications were made (this is assuming it's possible to access WoW with 2 programs at once, I don't know enough about the hooks involved to say one way or the other).
Basically, GB would need a "disable all macros except mount" option, as well as a "pause for x seconds after combat" option. HB would really just need to disable the anti-flying function if GB is running (or maybe just if it's in Combat/Healing mode, since that'll be navigating manually anyway).
The way I'd imagine it working is that GB would do it's normal thing, but if combat started it would pause and let HB (running in combat/healing mode) take over, followed by a pause to let HB handle rebuffing/eating/drinking, then going back to the gathering. It seems like that would help increase survivability - I've seen a lot of fights that would have ended much better if HB's combat were available.
It's really just a thought, but it seems like it would take a lot less work to do this than to create an HB plugin, or make HB combat work inside GB.
