I played my dervish for awhile after the patch and I used Pious Renewal.
You don't need many other flash enchantments due to Pious having instant recharge. Heart of Holy Flame is not really required. You may want to throw a few PvE skills on there to make the build a little stronger, such as: Finish Him, YMLAD, Eternal Aura(AoE Res w/ Pious Fury + HP).
75% Recharge on Pious Assault is like 4 seconds. (Not sure) So using 1 or 2 more teardowns w/ Pious Renewal.

Could be wrong but it is what I used in my build.

My build only has 1 teardown, which is obviously PR. With this, I use Pious Fury for faster scythe attacks, Pious Assault and Eremite's attack (great AoE). I also bring Wearying strike to manage energy and for an easy deep wound.

As for the secondary, I prefer /W to spam SY! : partywide armor boost is better than a little more aoe dmg, imo.

The final slot is for a PVE skill of your choice depending of the area : EBSoH, LB gaze, Eternal Aura, IAtS, etc.

Lack of a warrior secondary for SY and FGJ makes me cry. FGJ + Dark Fury = infinite unblockable double striking that also heals you. Its kind of imba

Drop HoHF and Demonic Flesh.
Add SY and FGJ.
Consider swapping Irresistible for Reap Impurities or Wearying as the situation calls for.

I use a similar build to the OP's in PvE.

Most of the Pious Teardown build is common, the three 'pious' skills and AoHM.

I recently started using HoHF in my build. Sometimes you mess up your rotation or PR gets stripped without you realizing it and so it's nice to have HoHF running behind it. It gives you an aoe that makes your attacks Holy damage and, if you do somehow miss Pious Renewal and use a strip skill, you end up inflicting aoe burning in addition to AoHM's effect instead of losing AoHM.

What I usually run is:
PR, PF, PA, Irrestible Sweep, Eremite's Attack, HoHF, AoHM, and Eternal Aura. It allows me to be an AoE power house and to provide a clutch Rez when necessary. Though really, with how easy it is to stack a very capable 7 hero team I rarely find it necessary and could see someone using SY! instead.

I would also drop Demonic Flesh and HoHF. I don't see how holy damage is going to benefit you for general PvE, so I don't get why that would be kept for anything. Save Yourselves is always useful and I often use Signet of Pious Restraint. One shouldn't be stripping the wrong skill often enough to be a problem, but use some other enchantment that isn't HoHF.
