first off, ditch teh healing spells. if u want to use monk skills, be a monk. secondary monks dun have divine favor, limiting the usefulness of the heals. also, ditch sig, seein as it has a one time use, if u want a rez spell, then use a rez spell, not a sig. finally,u may want to change some of the elites, eg, fo water, i highly suggest using water trident. 5 energy, no exhaustion, low recharge, AND causes knockdown if target is movine, very helpful.

Who needs two characters? You can change builds.

And Water Trident sux. Elementalists are useless in PvP without energy management elites. (None of the very few good PvE elementalist builds that don't use energy management elites happen to work in PvP.)

Heal Party is not a bad idea at all. I sometimes run 59 point heals in PvE builds. Except -- it's better for teams of 8 than teams of 4.

*NOTE* This is a PvP build therefore I must choose PvP powers
