It's one of those skills that sounds great on paper, but you never see anyone using it. Spectating some GvG, and seeing how heavily the battles seem to rely on conditions (blindness, cripple, degen condition spamming), I'd though it could be useful. It means you loose another elite (usually, the backline monk is a HB + heal party spammer), but it also means you don't need a RC monk.

Another of those skills which sounds great (to me) is scourge healing. That'd bugger up an infuser pretty bad, along with it's general nastiness, and if it does trigger multiples on party heals, that'd really put some pressure on the HB spam.

So basically, a build centered around martyr, some prot smite (RoD, SC, SH), scourge healing, and some running / self heal stuff (shadow refuge, some running stance for capping flag, return, ...).

I'm no PVP hero though. Maybe those skills are actually nerfed to the point where they became useless (if not already) in PvP.
