Going to be doing Catacombs of Kathandrax on HM. I figure ward against harm would be very helpful here, but not sure what else to bring with it.

This is coming from someone that has yet to travel into this dungeon but If your going to concentrate mainly on Water Magic, You could try these combos.

[skill]Deep Freeze[/skill] or [skill]Ice Spikes[/skill] + [skill]Glowing Ice[/skill]
or this
[skill]Strip Enchantment[/skill] + [skill]Vapor Blade[/skill]

If you plan to combine dual elements you can use Water Magic to supplement damage from other elements like these:

[skill]Rodgort's Invocation[/skill] + [skill]Steam[/skill]
or
[skill]Blinding Flash[/skill] + [skill]Slippery Ground[/skill]

If you want you could play more of the support Elementalist and bring Earth Wards to complement your Ward Against Harm as well.

Does that one have a lot of burning? If so, what about frigid armor?

Yes, I was referring to Catacombs of Kathandrax. The one with Islunder - the fire Djinn with the fire bombs.

I ended up going as a fire ele with the mind blast -rodgort's build and some interrupts. I had a ranger bring winter.

I used my sousuke for ward against harm and then made him a rit healer as secondary.

My problem with ward against harm is that it seems to nerf my build. I can only do support, and not much at that, with it. I stink at water magic -I've never been able to make a good build with it. And Ward is your elite so it limits you even more. Just wanted to know if there were any useful builds that could incorporate it?

You shouldn't need it, to be honest - just spread out, bring a mesmer instead to shut him down, at least that will have damage. When my friend and I do it we have two Esurge mesmers with mistrust/guilt - it ownzzzz.

Zen speaks the truth

Islunder does nothing with his fancy on the ground. [skill]Great dwarf weapon[/skill] for the win

Pain Inverter>big nasty ele bosses
seriously, EotN has so many overpowered PvE skills(and I'm not even talking about Ursan) that you really dont need anything else...

Again, I was going to say something here but zling said it first.

Pain inverter is very good for killing anything that throws down aoe.
