I was toying around with all the recent buffs and came up with a interesting build...

Restoration Magic - 12+3 (15) (or +2 (14) if you don't mind the 1 second downtime of spiritleech (lol))
Spawning Power - 12+1 (13)

-Wielder's Zeal
-Spiritleech Aura
-Vengeful Weapon
-Mend Body and Soul
-Spirit Light
-Spirit Transfer
-Selfless Spirit
-Vampirism

Basically, Spamming Vengeful Weapon as a minor heal/prot/damage, you'll actually be GAINING 2 energy everytime you use it.

Vampirism fuels all three of your other heals, and combined with Spiritleech Aura provides ample spamming of Spirit Transfer (for the math impared, gaining energy through Vengeful Weapon covers the energy cost, and vampirism's health gain increased by Spiritleech covers the health loss)

Spirit Light is your backup heal, but can be swapped for many other weapon spells, to further take advantage of Wielder's Zeal (namely, Great Dwarf Weapon, Weapon of warding, ect)

Spirit Transfer heals for a whopping 250 health, which is a lot more than WoH can say for itself

I dunno

Sounds nice, but it seems to be dependent to the vampirism spirit. If you move around or if the spirit dies, then half of the skills are useless.

I'd rather use something along caretaker's or OoS/SoS+Siphon while using a few points in channel. Wielder's zeal is meh..Selfless gives plenty of Reduction, and there isn't a GDW in there with WZ. a smaller E-management would be more useful.

I'd drop spiritleech.

Wielder's Zeal is the best maintainable energy management without having to stretch attributes, which is why I chose it.

SoS+Siphon seems like a very good alternative. Replacing Wielder's Zeal and Vampirism for them seems very reasonable.

If you're looking for e-mgmt for major spammage, spirit siphon is your friend.

I'd go with this build instead.

It has 3 e-mgmt skills (selfless, SoS, siphon) vs. your 4 (vamp, spiritleech, selfless, wielder's zeal).

If you spam vengeful weapon once every 4s, you'll get 3e back (@14 Spawn), which over the course of 24s yields +18e. Compare that to 3 siphons over that same time, each one yielding +9e for a total of +27e. You also gain 1e each time you use Soothing Memories.

The SoS spirits are free, can be put down every 20s and being level 11 will last through several spirit transfers. Meanwhile, vamp costs you 10e to replace, and wielder's costs you another 10e to refresh, which can eat into your cumulative energy gain.

It looks good and all the suggestions made here as well. However, if you're trying to be a dedicated healer, it would be a shame not to use Weapon of Warding.

Edit: lol, nice reading by me...you mentioned WoW. Anyway, Life might be a good substitute for Vampirism. It has a short recharge which helps going from battle to battle. And you won't be able to kill it off by yourself with Spirit Transfer. Even if you could (if Life would be attacked as well), you'd still get a nice party heal out of it and you'd have a new Life ready within a few seconds.

Replace the elite. Preservation is terrible.
