Ok ive been playing with the skills on my Dervish and found this build to be pretty effective in PvP.

Zealous Renewal
Mystic Vigor
Faithful Intervention
Ebon Dust Aura
Armor of Sanctity
Mystic Sweep
Wearying Strike
Plague Touch

First: cast Faithful Intervention
As encounter the enemy cast Ebon Dust Aura and Mystic Vigor. This should keep you alive and protected from physical attks. While engaged cast Zealous Renewal and Armor of Sanctity for Energy Management and Dmg Reduction. Attk with Wearying Strike then Plague Touch and follow up with Mystic Sweep. By now your enchantments should be ending but Zealous Renewal will fix the energy Prob and repeat.
This Build works great against tanks and rangers but you will get owned by eles and mesmers. I once took on 6 tanks alone after my team got wasted and managed to stay alive until my group came back to back me up.

The build doesn't look terrible, but here are my thoughts:

You'll need a better way of healing yourself if you're doing RA. Mytic Regeneration is miles better than anything else, it's simply a must have since you'll die horribly in RA without some sort of self-sufficient healing.

You'll need some sort of crippling. People can kite you way too easily.

Conviction > Armor of Sanctity.

Your build doesn't pack enough punch.

Here's my suggestion instead:

Mystic Sweep
Wild Blow
Crippling Sweep
Ebon Dust Aura
Zealous Renewal
Mystic Regeneration
Faithful Intervention
Ressurection Signet

Since you're blinding everything you hit, you're already going to massacre almost any melee opponent. You don't need some flimsy touch-inflicted weakness, it's just filling up your skillbar with situational and clumsy skills. What you need, especially in RA, is skills that work against a lot of opponent and skills that keep you alive since you can't expect much help from your party. Remember to use an earth damage scythe.
