Default PvP Wind Dervish

I would like to apologize for my previous build. I find PvE to be boring and don't do it often so I'm pretty bad at it. However, I PvP a *lot* so here is a PvP build I have been enjoying lately.....

D/Anything

Wind Prayers 10+2
Scythe 11+1+1

Victorious Sweep
Pious Restoration
Dwayna's Touch
Featherfoot Grace
Watchful Intervention
Vital Boon/Armor of Sanctity/Enchant of Choice/Lyssa's Haste
Rez Signet

Victorious sweep is your scythe attack, use as needed.
Basically, Dwayna's Touch is your heal. Keep Watchful intervention on at all times. Put on Featherfoot Grace and Vital Boon/Armor of Sanctity, Enchant of choice when you need to heal, then use Dwayna's Touch.
Dwayna's Touch should be able to heal you for 150 health every 2 seconds at a 5 energy cost, which makes you rather hard to kill.
Make sure you have Vital Boon/Armor of Sanctity/Enchant of Choice on as your last cast enchant, so that you can use Pious Restoration to strip it. When you strip an enchant with Pious Restoration you strip 3 hexes at once, every 5-8 seconds (depending on which enchant you take) so you are highly immune to them.
Featherfoot Grace makes all conditions on you expire twice as fast, so unless they are putting them on you constantly (which is impossible to block anyways unless you bring Avatar of Melandru) it makes for a good condition remover. It is also a nice sprint.

My favorite thing about this build is it's variability. If you were counting, I've only used 7 skills so far. The eighth slot is yours to do with as you please. Also, should have 61 attribute points left to use in conjuntion with whichever you pick for your eighth slot. You can use an elite if you wish.
I personally like putting 10 points into Deadly Arts and using Siphon Strength. It makes for nice damage reduction, and bumps my chance to critical up to about 50%. However it is rather energy expensive.
If you wish for a more rounded build, you could add in Expose Defenses, to counter blocks.
But basically you can take what you want, and have fun with it.

Please let me know if you come up with a really interesting spell to use in that slot.

Letting everyone know how many points you have into your other attributes would help a lot in people giving you more feed back. So in the meant time I am going to assume that they are at or near 0.

Armor of Sanctity is Earth Prayers, with no points into earth it does -5 damage....not worth the slot unless you have points into Earth Prayers.

Watchful Intervention only does 50 healing for the 10 energy it costs to cast it at 0 Mysticism again not worth the slot unless you have points into Mysticism. Also Don't forget that Mysticism is what lets you reapply enchantments at a constant level it gives you back energy and health every time an enchantment ends. Break points are 9, 12 and 15.

And don't be afraid to use a Superior Rune. even though it has a -75 HP effect it is not that bad on a Dervish because of the Inherent +25 HP on the chest armor.

You won't really kill anything with this, you have too many selfheals. With all those enchantments, you should at least use Mystic Sweep
