Afraid I have little but criticism. Hopefully you will find some of it useful.
1. Your only significant damage mitigation is coming from "They're on Fire," TNtF, SYG, and weakness. That's really inadequate. Frankly, I'm amazed that you were able to finish the zones you were able to finish. I'd suggest dropping one of the bad heroes (I'll flag them as I go by) for a ST-Shelter or ER-Prot-Infuse.
2. Player build:
2.a. Do you really need Glowing Signet?
2.b. Burning Refrain is redundant.
2.c. IAtS is an awful, awful skill. I'd say to replace with Dodge This, but worry a little about anti-synergy with GftE. If Dodge This won't work, look at just about every other PvE skill before going back to IAtS.
3. Smiter.
3.1. This build is crap. Drop it entirely.
3.2. Damage is awful.
3.2.1. RoJ is likely to miss when you let heroes aim it, and has a 20sec recharge.
3.2.2. Smite stuff is undirected and inconsistent damage.
3.2.3. Judge's Insight is only conditionally useful in the context of lots of undead.
3.3. Command shouts can go on lots of other builds.
4. Hybrid Rit
4.1. Clamor is not a bad skill per se, now that lightning damage doesn't suck anymore, but it does less damage than SoS and doesn't offer the opportunity for energy gain that you have with SoS+Siphon. Replace with SoS
4.2. Lamentation is a joke. Replace with Siphon.
4.3. Recovery isn't bad, but usefulness is questionable if MBS is removing 4 conditions at a pop (3 from SoS + Life). Most people would suggest changing it for PwK.
5. If this build gets a rez, it should by FomF. It's going to revive with higher hp and (at 13 resto) higher energy than a Sig of Return at 0 leadership, with a faster cast time too.
5. SF builds.
5.1. These do not have enough energy management.
5.2. These do not have enough energy management.
5.3. In case you somehow missed it: These do not have enough energy management.
5.4. You definitely do not need 2x Enfeebling Blood. You probably do not need 2X Weaken Armor or Earthen Shackles.
5.5 So the solution is: SPLIT THE BUILDS.
5.5.1. On one build, drop the curses stuff, reassign the points to ES and maybe a little to earth, add Glowing Gaze, and add Mark of Rodgort (which will smooth out burning durations so that SF is always hitting for damage (and do a better job of it than all the other non-SF burning skills you've got currently put together)).
5.5.2. On the other build, drop Earthen Shackles, reassign the points to ES and maybe to curses, and add Glowing Gaze.
5.6 Meteor is really questionable.
6. The dom mes
6.1. This build is just really bad. You can skip reading the rest of my comments and just use Jeydra's dom mes if you want to save time.
6.2. Mirror of Disenchant and Complicate both need large homogeneous mobs to justify their recharges. Niche use only. Additionally, you should be killing things fast enough that Complicate is always going to be dubious in PvE.
6.3. Enchanter's Conundrum is only worthwhile if monsters have no ability to cast enchants at all or you've got a deep strip (and even then, heroes may not be smart enough to lead EC with the deep strip (which, you don't have anyway)). Run Panic or E-Surge if Panic isn't needed for survivability.
6.4. Shatter Delusions would be good if you had shatter-bait hexes in the team build or if the AI was smart enough to shatter sticky hexes at the last moment, but you don't and it isn't, so don't use it.
7. CoF is fine, but this build doesn't have the energy to support it on top of all the other expensive stuff it has.
8. Ill mes.
8.1. This build is also crap. Drop it entirely. Possibly for another SF (probably paragon secondary for FB). Or a THunderclapper (in which case the curses SF needs to change). Or minions.
8.2. Mirror, same issue as above.
8.3. Fragility isn't very useful here since burning shouldn't be starting or ending very often. The only thing triggering it is going to be the crap condition skills on this bar.
8.4. Shared Burden is not going to stack the snare effect with Earthen Shackles, so it's really just a crappier version of Arcane Conundrum. If you really want to keep the Ill build, change this to Fevered Dreams (and bring better condition skills like Steam and Accumulated Pain, and then you could keep Frag).
8.5. Causing bleeding + poison is pretty worthless in any case since degen is wimpy. But it's especially worthless here since you've already got -7 degen from the burning, so over half the effect from bleeding + poison is going to be wasted. [Edit: I forgot the degen from Lamentation (which you should be removing anyway), which just makes bleeding + poison even more redundant.]
8.6. The weakness on Oppressive Gaze is redundant with EB, and the poison is worthless for the reason given above, so drop it.
8.7. Blood Ritual won't be neccesary if you fix the energy problems within the other builds.
9. The healer.
9.1. This looks OK for a pure redbarup healer.
9.2. Not sure you really need a pure redbarup healer. You'd probably be better off with some mitigation (see #1) hybridized with some healing. Unfortunately, HBurst hybrids aren't possible for heroes because there's not enough attribute points for speccing inspiration, and not enough energy without it. (Player builds can use PvE skills for energy management.)
9.3. IV+resto is a comparable pure redbarup healer that also does damage. You might want to look at that.

Base damage on the bow. Of course the 12 is better for DPS.
