It would probably work. I find the Greatsword an odd choice here, but no reason why it wouldn’t work. (And definitely carry a Staff with you to swap when needed.)
I would take a different heal. Healing Breeze isn’t going to do what you want it to do when you’re in melee range and to paraphrase an old truism: you do zero support when you’re dead. Shelter is pretty good in WvWvW, since it blocks pretty much everything.
Also consider taking Purity in the Valor line. You can’t really go wrong with passive condition removal.

Hmm well I mainly picked the GS for the leap gap closer and the stun breaker. Then dropping the symbol of wrath means condition remover and then in aoe fights the Wwind helps but I guess I can try staff never used it so lol.

Yeah, the thing with WvWvW is that you’ll get burned down _fast_when you enter melee range. It’s not that the Greatsword is bad for support (it’s better than most people expect), it’s just that being in melee range isn’t generally a desirable state in WvWvW.
