Ebon Vanguard Battle Standard of Honor also increases direct spell damage for people inside the ward and minion damage.

So go with that.

EBSoH increases direct spell damage as long as the spells aren't doing armor-ignoring damage. Most of the direct spell damage in an S/D/M team is armor ignoring, as Jeydra pointed out a few posts back.

EBSoH also works on wanding. For a party of 8 that is about 80 (r3) - 120 (r10) damage every ~1.33 seconds (http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Attack_speed). That is +60 dps for auto-attacking.

With minions, there is no doubt, use EBSoH.

Just go to the master of damage to see the difference in party-wide dps.
