I only ever really read the forums when the game is down and yet, I have never found a topic on this certain build I made up through playing PvP and it suiting my gameplay. The build is 17/0/24 once I hit level 50 (only 41 atm). I found it better to get to 17 on the healing half first. Normally I am top 3 for damage and most times top healer unless there is a proper healer in the team. Very rarely do I die and I can't understand why no-one else has written about this build. I am not sure if I am shooting myself in the foot here by showing this build, but what the heck. I could go into rotation and all of that, but at this time I can't be bothered. Feel free to discuss this build with me and to criticise it also. I look forward to the debate..

I'd use 21/2/18 if you want PvP hybrid DPS/heals. Great for medal farming. Innervate a very efficient heal (even without Force Bending), and grabbing the Sith Purity talent is almost a no-brainer for anyone playing a healer. That little extra you have in Madness doesn't add a whole lot, and taking 1/2 Sith Defiance over Death Field is just silly.

21/18/2 is also good. You have the same healing talents, but it takes a lot more control talents in Lightning. The damage is still good, but you're more of a Controller style "mage" than anything else. Backlash ignores resolve, so that's awesome. XD

27/12/2 is a much more healing oriented, but you can still deal some good damage and have good control capabilities. Fadeout to give people speed buffs, and Electric Bindings for the snare on Overload.

Edit: Currently I'm leveling as a PvE healer, but I often go 150-220k healing and 80-110k damage with just 27/5/0 right now. Normally that means I'm 3-5 on dmg and 1-2 on healing. I easily get the 75k dmg, killing blow, 10 kills, and 25 kills medals without spending any points on damage talents, not to mention the 75k healing and 2.5k single heal medals. So you can really use whatever you want, as long as you know what you're doing.

I'm curious. is it feasible to spec into heals while lvl'n...or should i concentrate on dps spec?...not sure if ya can duel spec yet. I'm 30 ish btw.

While leveling you can spec however you want and you'll do fine. As I said, I leveled as a pure PvE healer. DPS specs let you kill faster, but Healer specs are safer. And honestly, once you get Force Storm at 34 trash packs become a joke anyway. The only difference is how fast you take down Elites: DPS will take it down faster, but will have some trouble staying alive since your heals are weak; and Healer's will take it down slowly, but your chances of dying on any of the story boss fights are slim to none.

Here's a spec oriented around solo content. It gets you the crux of any healing build (Resurgence + Force Bending) while still grabbing considerable damage talents. Either get to the 13 in Corruption or the 16 in Madness first. The build plays exactly like a 13/28 (Force Lightning for Wrath procs, use proc on Crushing Darkness or Chain Lightning), but you have better heals for when you need them. They're not great, but it's better than nothing. Once you hit 50 you'd want to respec if you plan on doing any serious PvE or PvP content in any role.
