I normally have Dolyak and Watch yourself when I have healing sig, meaning I gain +20 Armour when I use it.

well the trick is you should start healing yourself before your health reaches 50%. Save energy for you monks. Some people just wait too long or just wait till the monk heals. I personally use healing signet when my health has been decreased by almost 175. So even if they interupt me then its ok coz I still have alot of hp. I just wait when i can use it again.

now the problem with breeze is that its an enchantment which mesmers can shatter which can deal like 100 damage. and if you have mending on and they shatter that too then that's like 200 damage....that's just too painfull. orison heals are too weak even at 12 healing. Ya I started the game as a wammo and finished prophecy as a wammo. Its only because I play with hechies always and I rez then coz usually i'm the only one left alive.

Ether feast has long recharge and give u around 110 hp. downside is recharge and it does have cast time similar to heal signet.

I'm not sure about other skills though. But for me Healing Signet is the way to go. all other warrior skills are too conditional. Trying to get back hp thru health regeneration is not reliable.

It takes 2 seconds to activate, so if I use Frenzy, will it go faster?

In my opinion, it is a PvE warrior staple. Unless you have a build designed specifically to not have to use it, it should be on your bar.
Used properly, it gives the party monk a well-needed break from the rampant leeroys.

that;s a bit confusing, but sounds wrong. 40 less armor means double damage, always.

Frenzy is double to all sources. Healing Signet is only -40 AL. An important distinction is that you don't get double from armor-ignoring sources, such as Obsidian Flame, Crystal Wave, Balthazar's Aura, and so on.

While that may be plainly obvious, it still precludes the use of 'double' when talking about armor reduction, without clarification. Particulary because it may be confusing to people who played Guild Wars a long while back, when Healing Signet ACTUALLY doubled damage, before they opted to change it to -40 AL.

Healsig is quite possibly the best non-monk self heal in the game.

Quick tip : Healing Signet should always do at least 115. Personally I like mine to be 130, who needs Strength anyways :P

The three skills I NEVER leave without... ever. Only exception is when I replace Healing Sig with "ViM", mainly used in Reposite Builds.

I don't use it, because you have -20 armor of it while using it. I use Mending and Healing breeze

-40 armour*

And healing signet is alot better than Mending + Healing Breeze.

OK, you pull away from battle OR you put up your defenses while using it. Healing signet heals for 90+ (It heals me for 120 or something because of high tactics) In 2 seconds.

Healing Breeze + Mending heals for 100 in 10 seconds or so.
Healing breeze, 10 energy, 1 sec cast, enchantment
Mending, 10 energy, 2 second cast, -1 pip energy, enchantment

Both which can be shattered / removed.

Healing Signet, 0 energy, 2 second cast, signet

As I said it heals for alot more, the only counters I see are rust and that mesmer skill, which I very rarely see occur.

At 10 Tactics, Healing Signets heals for 115 health every 6 seconds for free.

At 8 Healing Prayers, Healing Breeze plus Mending gives you 120 health every 6 seconds, but you have to pay 20 energy initially plus another 10 energy every 10 seconds to maintain it which is something a warrior can't do.
