55 and spirit bond each has its uses.
55 with SoJ is better at killing ranged attackers and lower number of enemies. Spirit bond is better at tanking larger number of enemies, and enemies which uses spike vamp skills.
For example 55 cannot reliably tank naga in Cantha. A ritualist casting nightmare weapon and boom 40 health gone. Spirit bond has a much higher chance of surviving.
For spirit bond, instead of shield of judgment, try sliver armor with 12 earth (+20% enchant mod). You won't need 35 seconds to kill trolls.
