I know there are already a couple of these but I'm too lazy to look for them.
[Defender's Zeal][Reversal of Damage][Smite Condition][Smite Hex][Smiter's Boon][Auspicious Incantation][Balthazar's Aura]
Defender's and AI+BA are used for energy management and a bit more damage. Smiter's Boon can probably be replaced by Divine Boon but I don't like losing 2 energy with each cast. What should I put in the 8th slot and how should my attribute points be set up?

With that much energy management, Divine Boon would be a good choice.

Seriously you should only need AI+BA or DZ, both is just overkill.

Would my energy be okay if I replaced AI and BA with Strength of Honor and judge's Insight?

If you feel the need for a bit more energy management than just DZ, [[Castigation Signet] is a good choice. [[Zealot's Fire] is a fun one to use, the -1 energy isn't that noticeable as long as you don't spam the hell out of everything.

PvE skills are always nice. [[Seed of Life] and what not.

Only if you're trying to maintain it on one person, the -1 pip and 10 cost of Judge's can end up hurting in the long run.

Edit: Also depends if you're playing in HM and what the primary enemy is.

Ex: Assassins double strike and have a fast attack speed, giving you good energy return from DZ, in HM they attack 50% faster, giving you even more energy, along with a higher chance to critical strike.

Casters do tend to wand things, but in between casting spells, so the effectiveness of DZ is diminished.

I'd replace AI + BA with [Judge's Intervention] and [Divine Boon].

Your bar has too much energy management. and the synergy between the Boons and RoD is insane.

For the eighth slot...a rez is always nice. If H/Hing, bring [Pain Inverter] or [Cry of Frustration].

[Defender's Zeal][Reversal of Damage][Smite Condition][Smite Hex][Smiter's Boon][Divine Boon][Optional][Optional]

IMO... slap on a rez and [Zealot's Fire] or go /Rt and slap on [Splinter Weapon] and [Ancestor's Rage].
