Only the highest one counts. (Even tough they both maintain it)

Strength of Honor is the only damage buffing maintaned enchantment there is, aside from Vengenace... But that skill is bad, don't use it...

It depends what you count as bad, if you want to screw around with pugs then go ahead, it's always funny to pop that enchantment on them and wait for either it to end, they rip it off by accident, or something else rips it off. It makes me lawl so many times.

it will replace it if you try to cast both on 1 character.

Yes, enchantments that are cast on others to provide an effect on them do not overlap.
The only spells enchantment wise that stack are spells that cast on someone for your benefit like Essence Bond. 2-3 different people can cast that on the same target.

1 W/Mo with S&H
7 Mo/X or x/Mo's with S&H

All cast S&H on the W/Mo and he would then do +21(8) = +168 damage per hit... or more if the Monks use runes to go above 12 Smiting Prayers. That would be what is called imbalanced.

Few maintained enchantments have overlaps, and none of them benefit the person they are cast on. Protective Bond can be used by multiple people on 1 target, but the damage reduction is always the same. The only thing that changes from having multiple copies used is the energy drain from each person maintaining it.

You forgot echo chaining them as well

Dont forget stacking up judges insight for an over +100% armor penetration, and while your at it, let weapon spells stack also.

Uhm..SoH adds armor ignoring damage per hit, so it's the best choice when you use quick-hitting weapons, such as daggers (which have a low base damage). Judge's Insight converts the base damage into holy damage (so it doesn't trigger barbs or such), which is not armor ignoring in this case, and it gives a 20% armor penetration, which is calculated for the base damage. So i'd use judge's insight with weapons which have a high base damage such as hammers or scythes, but low attack speed.

So with which kind of weapon do you think it's better to use both SoH and Judge's? I think that daggers are good to be used with SoH, but useless with Judge's, because that 20%AP is applied to the base damage. Maybe it's better to use scythes with an IAS, also for the chance of hitting multiple foes?
