Would just like to point out that there's actually a reason you're having such a hard time: Word of Healing has been buffed and nerfed several times over the years, and it's current state is much stronger than it's original, both in terms of health restored and recharge. It's true that many other skills have changed too such that WoH isn't really overpowered, but if you're using a hench team you won't really be able to get much use out of them. If you post your build we can give feedback on it. Let us know how it goes.
Also, if you haven't done so already, you'll probably want to set your account to use the American servers (use the menu in the upper left of screen in towns/outposts). Most people (afaik) have moved over there, so you'll have better luck finding people. Granted, there aren't tons of people, but it's far from empty.
