R/W

I went to help a guildie pass through Thirsty River, but I saw that I could get Word of Healing from the Monk boss at the end. I decided to make my R/W into a R/Mo and made a fast build. Seemed to work pretty well, but critique is always welcome.

Weapon:
Poisoner's Short Bow

Attributes:
Protection : 10
Expertise : 8 + 1
Wilderness Survival : 9 + 2 + 1
Marksmanship : 9 + 1

Skills:
Troll Ungent
Penetrating Shot
Poison Arrow
Whirling Defense
Ignight Arrows
Mend Ailment
Signet of Capture (see, I wanted the skill really bad. Exchange with Spike Trap)
Rebirth

I found that I could take some of the preasure off of the healer, and some of the stress from the poor warriors, by using Mend Ailment. I could also res the party into a safer spot using Rebirth without too much of an effect on me, and only a 5 second downtime for the Res'd. Plus, I could do so-so damage, so I could hold my own against the mobs.

I kinda wonder how well this would work in PvP, but I don't think it would be too effective. I'd need a Long Bow, at the very least, and a better suffix mod (I had a Deathbane mod, don't ask why). Any pointers/suggestions?
