According to GW wiki:

Quote:
Elite Binding Ritual. Create a level 1...8...10 Spirit. Every 4 seconds, this Spirit heals one non-Spirit ally in the area for 10...94...115 Health. This Spirit dies after 90 seconds.
Quote:
The spirit heals one random ally in the area. Maybe I am not seeing the forest for the trees here but does this spirit just pick one ally and heal him/her every four seconds for the 90 seconds of its life or does it pick one at random every four seconds and heal them?

Thanks!

Going to cap this one then looks like it maybe worth the effort.

Elite Binding Ritual. Create a level 1...8...10 Spirit. For the duration that this skill is on your bar, you do not have an elite skill. When you remove this skill, you are then allowed to use an elite. This Spirit dies after 90 seconds.

It's not that bad. Granted, the restoration tree has better elites but here you have a "spell" that heals for a few thousand hps around the party while it's up. For 5 energy.
