Frankly, I haven't found Vigorous Spirit to be good enough to deserve a spot. Sure, it's very nice to have up, but it doesn't heal for enough to be worth it for me. If you think about it, party members that need constant healing don't attack or cast spells that often, compared to how often they are getting hit. Frankly, I'd rather go with something like Healing Seed, which you can cast on your main tank and have constant, consistent AoE healing when you need it.

But then again, I'm only a lvl13 Mo/N and I haven't used Healing Seed yet.

Glyph of lesser energy > Channeling.

Glyph: 30 sec recast, save 10 energy each time you cast 15 energy spell.

Channeling: Save 1 energy each time you cast a spell, need to cast 10 spells to equal the value of Glyph and must be close enough to enemy to leech 1 energy.

Thanks for the help you two. I swapped Vigorous Spirit with Healing Seed, and added in Ward Against Melee and Armor of Earth instead of Smite Hex and Channeling. Since I only have one 15 energy spell, I thought it'd be a waste to tie up a skill slot with Glyph of Lesser Energy. And after examining Channeling a bit more, I have to agree with you Anariel, it's not that great unless you have a lot of enemies around.
