Rolling with a staff for the two direct healing spells, in addition to the auto-attack heals.
Here’s what my basic strategy is…

  • Healing rain will practically cover any control point, I always lay it down during fights.
  • Healing Rain heals for 6k, it’s practically your healing skill.
  • Continous large health regen for allies as long as your near, so stick with your team.
  • Keep auto-attack on at all times, as it heals nearby allies for ~500 health.
  • Keep attuned to Water at all times. Switch to air to escape.
  • Use Frozen Ground when you are being attacked by melee.
  • Ice Spike recharges quickly, making it a great AoE support spell.
  • Summon your elemental (elite skill) to boost healing.
  • Cast Mist Form when a Warrior casts “Hundred Blades” and get out of there!
  • Activating Signet of Water can help slow foes who you missed with Frozen Ground.
  • Using Geyser on recently downed allies immensely helps.
  • As long as you’re with your team, you will be helping everyone tremdously.
  • Try not to use your Signet of Air, because the speed boost aids in navigation and escape.

Also note: You will be doing paltry damage, do not try to take on anyone alone.

Gear:
Standard Exotic sPvP gear
Cleric Amulet with Cleric Jewel
Gem of Water / Gem of Monk (Whatever your prefer)
PvP Staff with Sigil of Superior Water

You’re going to be in for a very pleasant surprise when you realise you’re only employing half the potential of a staff healer. Grab evasive arcana at 30 points in arcane go smack a target dummy so you get into combat and lay down a healing rain and then dodge roll and see what happens (since you’ll be at full hp, you may not noitice but it causes an AOE heal on top of the cleansing wave AOE heal. Evasive arcanas are blast finishers). Another go look up eruption (earth 2) cast it, switch to water, cast healing rain. Notice the AOE heal heart when eruption explodes inside healing rain. Works for geyser as well. Go get Arcane wave, same effect. Get rid of 20 percent reduction in cantrip duration and pick up regen and vigor effect when using cantrips. Get rid of the share auras and grab the condition removal on attuning to water.

Evasive Arcana also helps with giving aoe frost armor (ice field – water 4), swiftness (lightning – air 5) or might (fire – fire 2 or 4). Get it! I ran with sigil of energy I believe. The one that gave 50% endurance on swap. Battle is nice if you want some might so you can hit a little harder. My runes changes depending on what I wanted to do. Dwayna is a good 6/6, earth if you want to be more tanky + give longer protection. You can also go 3 sets of 2 for boon durations.
