New build
This must be for PvE or PvP. I guess you could use it for roaming in WvW but you might get wrecked.
For pvp yes. I thought the division titles and the game mode listed in the link gave it away.
This is basically a weaker in every way version of the symbolic DH build.
DH as a trait is better than virtues in nearly every regard. You’re better off running the meta version.

I’ve played a lot of games as meditrapper and Symbolic DH. They are both great builds, and DH virtues are nice. However, I think if you actually TRIED this build, you might see its value. I honestly believe it’s on par with the others. You definitely have to adjust your play style to accommodate for the lack of shield of courage, but the low cd and instant cast of the core virtues is actually pretty nice.
Some advantages as I see them are:
-Virtue of Justice active gives a hefty burn stack in team fights or 1v1 in addition to retal and might. Good for keeping pressure on kiting targets.
-Resolve is uninterruptible. Heals for less, but a lot of people are just waiting to cc your wings. Plus cures conditions on teammates.
-Courage has a much shorter cd (34 seconds), is an aoe stun break, and stacks stability. This is crucial for securing stomps and rezzes (even refreshes on rezzing). Also good for teammates who get caught in dragons maw, gravity well, hunter’s ward, tides of time, chilled to the bone, etc.
Granted there is a trade off as the DH virtues are very nice too. I just find that I have more to offer team fights with this build, with the aoe point pressure of symbols and utility of virtues traitline, while still being capable of winning 1v1s and bursting in +1 situations.
Edit: Besides, I wasn’t asking for build advice. I just wanted to share this.
