Default Most Important Skills

I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread with all of the most useful skills for PvP. Of course, some skills are good in certain situations, but there are a lot of skills that you'd never see outside of RA. I only really want to see the skills that can turn tides in 8v8 and are more powerful than other skills that would have the same effect. I get tired of looking through the entire list of skills every time I want to put together a decent PvP character...

Monk:
Word of Healing
Infuse Health
Spell Breaker
Protective Spirit
Contemplation of Purity
Restore Condition
Martyr
Heal Party
Aegis
Divine Boon
Reversal of Fortune
Guardian
...

Mesmer:
Blackout
Diversion
Cry of Frustration
Energy Surge
Mantra of Recall
Energy Burn
Energy Drain
Distortion
Echo
Inspired Hex
Drain Enchantment
...

Warrior
Eviscerate
Backbreaker
Devastating Hammer
Sprint
Frenzy
"Charge!"
Final Thrust
...

Ranger
Crippling Shot
Read the Winds
Dual Shot
Punishing Shot
Apply Poison
Distracting Shot
...

Elementalist
Ether Prodigy
Gale
Blinding Flash
Ward against Foes
Ward against Melee
Ward of Stability (?)
Lightning Orb
Shock
...

Necromancer
Well of the Profane
Order of the Vampire / Order of Pain
Blood Ritual
Spiteful Spirit
Tainted Flesh
Order of Blood
...

Assassin
Aura of Displacement
Death's Charge
...

Ritualist
Union
Disenchantment
Shadowsong
Ritual Lord
Soothing
...

Yeah, I don't get offa my Mo/Me very much...

Please post all skills that you think can be matchbreaking, given the situation.

Aura of Displacement, Ritual Lord, Grenth's Balance.. really this list is kinda lame, isn't it? Almost any skill used properly can turn the tide of battle.

personally, I don't like final thrust, although I can handle it if its something like galrath/silverwing/final on the sword guy.

additions:

assassin - twisting fangs

warrior - drop backbreaker
add crushing blow, irrBlow, executioner's strike, bull's charge, healing signet, rush

elementalist - obsidian flame, glyph of energy, dual attunements, glyph of renewal

mesmer - shatter enchantment, mantra of recovery
drop echo

monk - draw conditions, extinguish (for monk secondaries)

ranger - oath shot, whirling defense, lightning reflexes, dodge/zojun's haste, storm chaser, troll unguent (if you need a self heal on your ranger).

necro - drop order of vampire, add order of apostasy
plague touch
rotting flesh (combos with tainted flesh)
shadow of fear
