5: Generous was Tsungrai
6: Union
7: Recuperation
8: Flesh of my Flesh

This build is a main healer using restoration magic to both self defense (aginst eks.warriors,rangers,assasins) and healing. When your party gets near the enemy team, cast "Union" and "Recuperation" to give a konstant reduced damage, (as long as Union lives) and health regeneration, make sure your party stays in range of the spirits. Remember to cast the spirits as much as possible, so that you can use spells like "spirit light" and "Mend Body And Soul" like they are ment to be used. keeping the healt up of your warriors isnt hard, just cast "Vengeul Weapon" on them from time to time, that should be enough. If your partys monk or spellcasters are under attack, cast "Weapon of Warding" on them followed by "Mend Body And Soul".
As long as your party is in range of your spirits, conditions can be purged by casting "Mend Body And Soul", on the ones suffering, from the conditions. If you got a party member thats near death(half Healt), cast "Spirit Light" on him/her. Under the battle you may have some of your party member dieing , if thats the case cast "Flesh Of My Flesh" on the dead party member, this will cost you the half of yor current health, he/she will be brought back to life whit your current health(after you have lost the half of your health ). After you have cast "Flesh Of My Flesh" cast "Spirit Light" on the raisen party member, now he should be at full healt or almost. Your healt will be down at 40% of your max health, if you didnt stand near a spirit, if you did stand near one of your spirits you will be at 50% health, now cast "Generous was Tsungrai" and drop it, afterwards cast "Spirit Light" on yourself to get yourself at full health. If you are attacked cast "Generous was Tsungrai" and "Vengeful Weapon" on yourself, repeat this untill you get reinforcements, or the attacker gives up(dies).
I have tested this build aginst every proffesion, the ones who will be your biggest problem is the necromancer, beacuse of its Blood Magic spells, and the warrior beacuse of its high close combat dmg. But whit a some small changes in the build, you will be able to handle them eks. the mesmer skills "Hex breaker" aginst the necromancer,"Physical Resistance" aginst the Warrior.

P.S This is my first guide feel free to come whit suggestions.

Union will last maybe a few seconds with low communing/spawning so it might be more useful putting those pts elsewhere. I went mesmer 2ndary and replaced the communing spells with energy management skills.
