AoHM converts elemental damage to holy damage.

In PvP you'd want Wounding Strike because it applies more pressure and can be used more often. You'd also want a speed boost in all PvP as a melee based physical.

Lose the Major in PvP, you're not gaining much from it.

I would say stick with [[Wounding Strike] spam.

[build prof=Dervish/any Scythe=12+1+1 Mysticism=8+1 WindPrayers=8+1][Wounding Strike][Mystic Sweep][optional][optional][Enchanted Haste][Attacker's Insight][Heart of Fury][Resurrection Signet][/build]

The first optional slot is for another attack skill:
- [[Chilling Victory] is often used for its powerful damage.
- [[Lyssa's Assault] for good energy management.
- [[Crippling Sweep] for a snare.
- [[Rending Sweep] is used in hex heavy teams or when you have a hex of your own for enchantment removal.
- [[Victorious Sweep] for respectable spammable damage and conditional health gain.
- [[Symbolic Strike] for spammable high damage (Replace [[Enchanted Haste] with [[Signet of Mystic Speed] and [[Signet of Pious Restraint] for the other optional).
- [[Wild Blow] to for an unblockable critical attack along with stance removal.

The second optional slot is free for any profession, here are some popular options:
- [[Faithful Intervention] for its long lasting enchantment and fueling of [[Wounding Strike].
- [[Conjure Lightning] or any other Conjure for increased DPS and even more fuel for [[Wounding Strike] and [[Mystic Sweep]. (Up your elemental attribute to 7).
- [[Frigid Armor] is used for protection against Burning and [[Steam]. (Use with [[Conjure Frost])
- [[Hex Breaker] for protection against powerful anti-melee hexes (Replace [[Enchanted Haste] with [[Signet of Mystic Speed]). (Up Wind Prayers to 10 and put the rest in Domination Magic).
- [[Grasping Earth] for an AoE snare (synergies with Rending Sweep). (Up Mysticism or Wind Prayers by 1 and put up Earth Magic to 5).
- [["Make Haste!"]] for Relic Running in HA. (Up Mysticism or Wind Prayers by 1 and put Command up to 5).
- [[Song of Concentration] to prevent interrupts on the Ghostly Hero in HA. (Up Mysticism and Wind Prayers as preference).
- [[Death's Charge] for tele-spiking.

use conjure+wounding strike,much more effective.

and btw,aura of holy might converts your damage to holy so conjure is useless on the same bar.

Well...
1. Didn't know that.
2. I don't even use AoHM, only added it because I was missing one skill and I don't know where it went xD (read: can't remember which one I use usually o_0)

I basically almost always use Flame Djinn's Haste aswell, another case of a slight difference in what I use, and what I post... Thought it'd make more sense like this, but ehh =D.

And about Wounding Strike; I WANT to use Reaper's... 1. SHITLOAD of damage on top of Deep Wound
2. I've got a whole Devil/Reaper kinda theme going on on my PvE-Derv, and imo Reaper's suits the theme better than Wounding... =D.

He might not have known about it. I did give him feedback on his build. Giving him a build that works is a way of helping.

Unless you hate WS for it's "ZOMG SO IMBA"ness, I'd take that over Reaper's Sweep. PvE you could also take eternal aura to maintain HoF.
