How about that?

Don't limit yourself to one build. Every mission, quest, and team you join is going to be different. If you don't want to be a minion master I suggest you go with Spiteful Spirit along with Blood Magic skills like Well of Blood & Blood Ritual to help prop up your team.

If you're not going to be a primary damage dealer(by way of MM or Echo SS), then it sends you into a support role.

Wel you don't want to spread yourself too thin. It might sound like a good idea to be a jack of all trades but it usually means you end up useless since you can do everything but you can't do anything particularly well. Curses are nice if you plan on being a cooperative player. Blood is more of a direct damage dealer and death is mostly only good for minions. Deathly swarm is kind of nice but it quickly loses utility after awhile.

simple breakdown, in pve fast casting is useful, but not as useful as soul reaping. mesmer skills are just as good at level 8 as at level 16 thats why mesmers are so awesome, but necro skills arent. While MM is the obvious example, support caster such as blood nuker/battery also has this issue, you NEED the soul reaping to be most effective.

I have seen fast casting orders and W/R in tombs... and I don't recommend it...

for pvp - yes Me/N (except if you want to MM)
for pve - 99/100 times its better to go n/me than me/n as it will be more effective in the long run.
