Good Mesmer secondary for PVE?

I have a Me/E based on damage dealing. I mostly use domination and fire spells. It rocks to have Arcane Echo and use it to cast 2 firestorms on a bunch of monsters. Add a chaos storm to the lot and you get roughly 50 hp lost per second. Or you can go on and take Earth damage and Inspiration to be on the more defensive and iterrupt side, but in PvE it's less important.

So I couldn't be a Me/Monk and add smiting damage as well as healing to the usual mesmer repertoire and do PVE that way? Maybe if I broke it down like this...
Me/Ne with blood, death, fast casting and illusion
or
Me/Mo with smiting, healing, illusion and domination
Or is 4 too many attributes to put points into?

Mes/Nec debuffer, with curses, fast casting, and inspiration for example, is very effective for pve if you coordinate with your teammates, and call all the targets. Some battles can last a long time in pve, and if you can debuff large numbers of foes, and call the targets on the others, you can make a battle go very smoothly.
Just don't expect to solo farm with him (if you're smart you may be able to, but I dont' know a way).

Monk secondary is great for ressing during battle. I like mesmer skills too much to bother with second professions though, unless I'm having some fun (illusinary weapons) or want a pet... once again, the pet is just for the hell of it and isn't normally taken in groups.
There are pure mesmer farming builds around, as are me/e builds.. and a number of others I haven't explored yet.

Me/N is fun. So many possibilities in PvP... but for PvE, I found that I only used my Necro 2nd for blood magic. Mesmers lack self-heals outside of Ether Feast, so I leaned on health stealing from the blood magic line to keep myself topped off. Monk probably would have been better, but I wanted to unlock Necro skills. I'd recommend going Monk or Ele for a 2nd with Mes for PvE
Mesmer is so freakin awesome, you can use any secondary with it and still be awesome. For example:
Me/E - use it with the easy-spam spells
Me/N - curses+fast casting? gg
Me/Mo - need I say, protection > 12 is usually unnecessary, and divine favor doesn't add THAT much of a boost with protection.
Me/R - Fragility + condition causing arrows. Or just having that awesome pet is sweet.
Me/W - Illusionary weaponry (pvp) or use the stances.
Me/E - use it with the easy-spam spells

Zehly is wise and true. Any secondary profession works well with a Mesmer primary. It's just a great primary profession.
Although I love all flavors of Mesmer, I've had the most success and fun with Me/W (tactics), Me/Mo (protection), and Me/N (curses). The Me/W gives you so many defensive shouts and stances, it really works well with the Mesmer's primary flaw: high "squishiness".
