I run 7 pc light armor as a dps in trials, so i do not see a problem running 7pc light. that said, once you get the undaunted passives it is probably best to go with a 5pc light, 1pc med, 1pc, heavy to gain the max from that passive.

I'm wanting to be the ultimate team player, healing, protecting from seige, reviving, and repairing. Im just not sure on rhe specifics.
Is heavy armor with a resto staff a terrible idea?

Try out 3 Heavy and 4 Light armor to start with and see how that works. Go with the Heavy armor on the large pieces like chest, legs, helm and shoulders. Toss in a couple nirnhoned traits for extra spell resistance as well.
Heavy armor and a resto staff is only a bad idea if it doesn't work Get your armor/build done and you'll be fine with it. Toss in a Blazing Shield also for extra protection.
