Group Focused Skill Line Suggestion

Had some spare time... 😂
So, I came up with a list of skills and ultimate that would only work in a well-coordinated small group, and I mostly had PvP in mind.
Skill 1: A ranged spammable that deals X amount of damage to a target, and heals the ally closest to them for a percentage of the damage done. Sort of like Funnel Health, but you trade the self heal/multiple allies heal for more damage, like Swallow Soul.
Skill 2: The ability to make an ally/group of allies go invisible. Sort of like one of the Hunter's smoke grenades, from Destiny 2.
Skill 3: Portals for allies. Basically, the reverse of the Warden's portal that pulls enemies to you, and kind of like Symmetra's ability, from Overwatch. This can help allies pass chokepoints, as well as move to areas that would otherwise only be accessible through streak. Also, if it's a two way portal, it can act as a mobility skill for allies. I'm thinking, two ground AoE's (one at caster, one at targeted location,) and a synergy that activates it.
Skill 4: You apply this ability on an ally. You both glow a noticeable color. If the ally targets you and activates the same ability (or maybe a synergy?) then a tether is created between the two of you. Enemies who touch that tether are stunned. So, AoE stun that you can move around, depending on how the fight progresses.
Skill 5: Trading stamina and magicka. If you're a magicka based character, and you're in a duo group with a stamina based character, you morph the ability to the version that costs stamina, and your ally morphs it to the one that costs magicka. If you target your ally and activate the ability for, say, 5k stamina, then you two will glow a certain, noticeable color. If the ally responds by targeting you, and using their version of the skill that costs 5k magicka, you both lose these resources, and gain 5k of the opposite resource. Kind of like Dark Conversion, but stronger, and between 2 players.
Ultimate - Can be activated at 110 ultimate. It doesn't do anything for the player, but their ultimate number is split between group members. So, in a 12 player group, activating your ultimate at 110 will give each group member 10 ultimate.
