hmmm.. I'm farley sure you could find a better elite than Wither for e-denial and thus freeing up some points for mesmer atrributes, Energy Surge is pretty good in AB and HEV is pretty good in GvG.

Wither and Malaise gets owned by weapon swapping. Energy Tap is pretty inefficent as a skill. Ether Feast isn't really going to sustain you for long.

If you put 12 in dom and 12 in curses, you have, what, 6 attribute points left to distribute in FC and inspiration?

After they weapon swap, they take about 104 damage at 12 curse magic. So it's either being sucked out of energy or damaged for a nice amount.
But still you have 16 in Domination, even if your elite isn't from Domination. Secondly, you have superior rune, you have no real reason to be Mesmer primary, because with 12/12 you can have only 3+1 Fast Casting... Almost not worthy.

so basically, its rubbish. glad i didnt bring it into a PvP match.. would've let my team down. i'll see what other builds i can find that would be more effective. thanks your input guys. appreciate it.
