My comments:

Divine Spirit is decent emergy energy management(without using glyph of renewal with it), but you can probably do far better with somthing like Channeling or Power Drain in PvE, although they do restrict you to a Mesmer secondary. I'd go with the Channeling route, since you can just take that 3 out of protection and put them into an 18s lasting channeling(which has a 16s recycle, so you can keep it up constantly)

The other thing is you have no condition or hex removals. Deep wound can be killer. 20% less target health, 20% less healing. I'd probably take out Healing Breeze for Mend Condition or Mend Ailment. Maybe add a hex removal if you know you're going to be needing it.

Other than that, it looks pretty solid, the only problem that I see is if you're prone to overhealing//spamming spells you're going to have a tough time healing an ally who just took alot of damage quickly, since your fastest heal is 3/4s, and aftercast is 3/4s... However that kind of situation rarely happens in PvE, so you shouldn't be too worried.

i soloed healed in abandons ^^
using that skill combo
only like 1 or 2 died from stupid rushes -_- dam those jerks
buh ya
i did alotta solo healing in proph
and it turned out pretty nicely
single healed a successfull FoW run well........lots
=]
over 5.6 mil exp yaa go me
any who dis build had worked for me for about a yr now
hardly any failure if the party is smart ^^

As I haven't ever used the build, I can't say for certain anything about it. Though it looks as though, even with the lowered cost of the spells due to Spirit, that you would have some issues with energy.... Especially if you were solo Monking against a decent to large aggro.

Well, I hope you have some protection back-up with another monk or something. Healing is so much easier when your party is harder to damage. But if you are primary healer, this looks pretty good. I hardly focus on only healing any more, since I see too much deficiency in the protection department. Healing is great, it is necessary, but there's more to monking, I say. Just a suggestion! Strategy! Co-ordination with your team! Plan!

I tried it and I can say I particulary dont like it for six reasons.

pve/pvp
1. No energy management with energy swings
2. No hex removeal
3. No condition removeal
4. Very low health from two sup runes

pvp
5. No self heals other than orison
6. Cant res mid battle

In pve all ive really got to say is that almost any monk build can work.

Decent build. But heres some suggestions:
-Don't ever use rebirth in PvP.
-Its better to mix Arcane Echo with divine spirit.
-If you have Word and Orison you might want to consider taking healing touch as a self heal instead of Dwyana's Kiss.(However not needed)
-I don't recomend useing two superior runes. That gets your health way to low. -150 health is alot!

My build is:
arcane Echo
Divine Spirit
Healing Breeze
Orison of Healing
Word of Healing
Heal Party
Healing Touch(Or Signet of Capture)
Rebirth

Healing:12(+1+3)=16
Divine:12(+1)=13
or
Healing:12(+1)=13
Divine:12(+1+3)=16

Works very well and is very very energy efficent. I don't recommend it for PvP however because you usually don't find time to save up 25 energy for the arcane echo/divine spirit combo. But in PvP you have plenty of time between groups.

I assume by Healing Words you mean Word Of Healing?
