Need Help building a PVE Sprt Spmer

I run in a group with my 2 friends, they bring the heroes and our team is generally solid, we can clear any dungeon regardless of who I bring. The two of them are simply good enough to not even really need me, one is mezmer the other is a ranger, and they bring the support healers and damage eles and one MM. But I wanna bring something to speed things along.

I wanna focus on building a Spammer based around Signet of Spirits, and party support from: Signet of Spirits + Spirit's gift, and Feast of Souls

So far I am using bloodsong, vampirism and agony to accompany the 3 spirts from SoS.

I usually precast my sprits, as a wall and my friend pulls with his ranger. As I reach the timer for recast on SoS, I use feast of soulds to party heal, and than recast the sprits with Sprits gift up, to do additional healing and remove any conditions the monk and mezmer have missed.

So far it's going very well, but I havent played hardcore in a long while, and I feel Like I could be doing more. I'm not even using a secondary skill set from another class. And am only duel stating in channeling and Spawning. truly though, with Painfull Bond, up I seem to be able to provide decent damage, and spike healing when needed. The spirts really do put out quite a bit of damage.

My real questions are these:

1) is Agony any good. I only bring it because its channeling based, but its description seems to do SO LITTLE damage. 10 a second? would I be better off brining spirt rift?

2) should I drop some of the channeling power for another skill set to help and focus on healing, or should I drop some spawning power and go for another skill set and focus on the spirits?

any advice would be appreciated.

Signet of Spirits + Feast of Souls is enough to justify healing support if you have two other primary healers. Spirit's Gift isn't neccessary because of it's range, and SoS's recharge. Oh, Feast of Souls is enough of a party heal. If you really wanted something similar, consider Rupture Soul or Spirit to Flesh.

I would consider Spirit Spihon for unlimited energy management coupled with Splinter Weapon, Ancestors' Rage, Spirit Rift for damage.

Spirit to flesh is meh, since it's such a small area to heal in.

Agony is O.K. at max spawning power, but better things out there

[SoS][Spirit Siphon][Splinter Wep][Feast Of Souls][Ancestor's Rage][Vampirism]

Last two are up to you, I would run Spirit Rift, Painful Bond, Bloodsong, or some other skill I can't remember

The builds on pvxwiki are working great for my new ritualist. It's what they say here but with pictures :P
