You don't mention that in your OP

Crap your right, I must have thought it wouldn't be that important. In almost all topics I make I mention I don't have NF.

The pro's of this build: All skills are 5 energy, Powerful healing, good protection spells, condition removal, hex removal, self-defense(kind of), rez

My concerns are:No energy management, hero seems to like to cast RoF and Shielding Hands on same target at same time, maybe dark escape is not that good? Choose different secondary?

Your thoughts on this build?

For maximum effect, I would probably run two of these builds...
Is this a bad idea? should one be hybrid and one be pure prot?
Thanks

heroes kinda like to use even prot skill as healing skills,they heal pets,they heal minions(omg) and they dont prioritize themshelves enough(it will heal u even if it means that he will die,or sometimes they dont heal temselves proper)so u could try some hybrid builds but for me pure healer is god for a hero while i play prot or hybrid(but i usually flag mi hero biper next to me ad spam heal party,when i get bored of complex playing).

Sorry I forgot to put a few things in my first post.
1. This is for a hero.
2. Attributes are
Healing Prayers 12+2
Divine Favor 9+1
Protection Prayers 9+1
Shadow Arts 3 ?
3. As said in above post, yes the hero does seem to like to stack prot on one person.
4. GoLE heroes don't use well so I don't see a point in taking it. I want a secondary that gives some sort of self-defense for the hero, and dark escape lasts for 7 seconds as is, which is not to short I think. Before I always used mesmer for [skill]Power Drain[/skill] and [skill]Leech Signet[/skill]
Perhaps a warrior can provide a decent stance for defense?
5. Ya I'll definitely turn off the rez.

The main reason I'm making this build is that I already had a pure healer and it seems that 5-6 healing spells is just too redundant. So I read a few monk threads and decided to try to make a hybrid build. Is it really better to have one pure healer and one pure protector?
Thanks

sometimes for heroes u dont need to make an entire skill bar,for example if they work good with 4 or 5 skills than u dont need to load tem with other skills(look at mobs skill bars some of them have 3 skills ,other have 5 skills
the idea is to keep it efective)

they made a nice buff to woh,i must say that during all mi prophecy play and almost all factions i used that single spell as mi monk elite,but since nigtfall camed ,i use either woh or healers boon(50%faster casting and more healing is just god imo),i used lod to but that is most for pvp i think(or it was since te nerf),also rc is still a very good spell for prot
