Could go D/D for Aura share with 30 in Water. This will let you grant Fury and Swiftness to everyone near you. You could still swap to water for a heal and then use Cleansing Wave for another heal and condition removal and as you mentioned COC healing.
Scepter Focus
Dagger Focus
Aura share build with signets grant auras. 100% Swiftness, Fury, Fire Shield, Protection up time to you and your buddies. Also projectile destroy, so ranged units cant hurt you if you are in it for its duration. Better cleansing fire in earth (magnetic thining earth 4), better mistform in earth (obsidian flesh)
I may have over calculated the traits required here, but you can still get most of those buffs.
Checked, you can get those boons with the aura share aswell but there are better options for those traits.
Would look like:
20, 10, 10, 30, 0.
However, 20 in earth nets you 20% faster signets as well as protection on signet use. And that trait is vital to the 100% uptime on those boons.

I would recommend scepter/focus, because you have 4 Blast Finishers on your weapon skills. Depending on your traits you can get up to 6 Blast Finishers. If you are playing with a ranger you can burst-heal 15k (if one blastfinisher heals 2,5k) and furthermore you can heal your group about 2,5k every 5 seconds while the water field is lieing (Dragon’s Tooth). You can also stack might (18 stacks) if you use a fire field instead of a water field.
