There are not that many places a Ritualist could go if seeking for valuable drops or elite missions and so on. I'd like to collect here builds and places you have come up with where a PuG group could take you with them.
All of these builds are just the ones I've mostly used and accepted with to the groups, but I'll modify them and add variations if someone comes up something more efficient..

I don't include any "solo farming" builds like CoF 600hp Rit/Smite and so on as this thread focuses on PuG.

Voltaic Spear Farming HM
Role: FS EoE
[Lily's VSF FS HM;OAKjYxYM5QAAAASOGb0gQHXHXMA]
Optional: I'd go with [Serpent's Quickness] and [Mindbender] for quick spirit disposal. If(and when) someone of your party dies, you can res them in 2sec with [Flesh of My Flesh]. Just eat your [Frozen Soil] with [Gaze of Fury], res and cast [Frozen Soil] again. [Summon Spirits (kurzick)] is there just for if Wardens decide to cast [Churning Earth] too close.

Urgoz Warren HM EoE
Role: Splinter Barrage EoE
[Lily's Urgoz Warren EoE;OAKkYtZsoRK0iBGzMZqI0BAAAwFD]
Optional: [Draw Spirit] if you somehow misplace EoE or want to drag it with you. [Ebon battle standard of Wisdom] to help recharging [Cry of Pain]
Tip: In Urgoz Warren, for example, you should start a new group yourself to make sure you can go as EoE if you don't want to run the Cryer build below. Lvl 8 EoE is enough for the Mission imo.

Urgoz Warren HM Cryer
Role: Cryer
[Lily's Urgoz Warren Cryer;OAWiIwkMtWiLCAsEYDCAA+dxAA]
Optional: [Visions of Regret] for AoE Hex, [Echo] for.. well.. echo ^^! [Mind Wrack] or some other cheap Mesmer Hex for tight situations. You shouldn't need [Energetic was Lee Sa], but good to carry with 16 Spawning Power if BiP isn't really awake..

Comments & Constructive criticism really appreciated to make every Ritualist out there to show what they're made of!

600/smite is a duo not solo - hence its called a Team build.
I`ll give you credit for trying but you`ll have problems as most places like uw/fow pugs are usually specialised and use set builds.
I dont understand the part where you say theres not many places - far as i know the only class thats usually left out the most is a mesmer , ive see plenty of rits before all over gw and some as gr8 healers where monks wasnt available.
And Cof proves you can 600 rit instead of 600 monk as well as a load of other dungeons.
If you check Pug/Team builds on here and on pvxwiki you will see that they one have 1 build but complete build for everyone - id suggest you work on team builds that work in unison , its a bit like trying to use a perma sin bonded with essence bond - wont work.

Btw i do use a rit for farming with so dont take my views offensivly an think im a rit hater

I love my rit. I think his point is that many PuGs don't have enough experience with the good ones to see their value. They are very versataile.

Regarding current uses, I would say any place where you have [hundred blades] warriors in the party (that skill was buffed like crazy not long ago), a rit with 16 Channeling ([splinter weapon]) is about the best support character you can put in the group. As such, you can be either a weapon spell spammer or a barrager or healer or whatever.

Regarding [Cry of Pain], any profession can be a cryer. It's not based on an attribute... just need Mesmer secondary. In DoA, my peeps take any cryers to fill spots, as long as their Lightbringer rank is reasonable.

In your Urgoz build, you mistakenly used [ebon battle standard of honor] instead of [ebon battle standard of wisdom]. By the way, Wisdom is my favorite ward in the game. My monk uses it to sometimes double his number of [Ray of Judgment]s in UW and FoW runs.
