Replace all the rest of the radiant insignias with survivors, and replace the superior domination rune with a minor one. By my reckoning that should increase your health by about 90. If you look at the benefits your skills get from moving from a minor to superior rune they're often not worth the health loss as it's often only a few points of additional damage you're missing out on. The health is much more useful at the end of the day.

Do you have a vigor rune? That could increase your health by an additional 30-50HP also.

For PvP, it's always good to have a high-health weapon swap. Grab yourself a shield with +30HP, and perhaps a spear with +30HP and use that as a weapon set to swap to if you get low on health with your current set. The 20/20 wand and focus is a good choice and will probably be quite sufficient for most if not all of PvE.

In my experience Mesmers need to learn how to manage their energy using Inspiration Skills such as [[Power Drain], [[Drain Enchantment], [[Auspicious Incantation], or secondary skills such as [[Glyph of Lesser Energy], [[Assassin's Promise] etc.. 40 Energy should be plenty as a Mesmer. Just cast intelligently and don't waste skills on silly things (like casting Backfire on Warriors!). Besides...what are those radiants doing for you? On your hands, feet and head you gain +3 energy total? Your builds can't be that precise in their energy requirements!
