Using healers or dragons at TH8 and TH9

I'm currently at TH7 and doing most raids with giant/healer combination. I was planning to upgrade my barracks soon for dragons, but after the last update where they added an additional Air Defense at th8 and th9 I'm having second thoughts.

With 3 Air Defenses pointing at the flying units at my next town hall level, healers and dragons should be pretty useless against a well designed base.

Do you guys still using flying units at higher town halls, or did the latest update change your raiding composition?

I love raiding with giants and healers. Lately I have still been attacking TH8's and 9's with healers, despite the extra air defense, so personally the extra AD didnt change the way I attack at all. :)

Maybe your strategy is a little different than mine, but I theoretically speaking 3 AD's can cover each other, so when they are well enough protected, my giants would be dead before I cleared the Air Defenses because I couldn't deploy the healer yet.

Barbs and archers all the way. Healers and dragons are too expensive and take forever to train.

I personally couldn't care less about a third ad. It's still in the shop, awaiting erection (I wonder if it will censor erection). I have better things to take care of than an extra air defence. Such as my hidden tesla lvl 2 upgrade :p I assume that this is the same with a lot of other people, I'm not seeing many additional ad's around 1200-1300 so I'm sure you'll be fine.
