Regarding PVE are there a lot of dungeon bosses that heal? I am just wondering if major and minor defile are worth anything in PVE 4 man dungeons. Thanks.

    No, there is no reason to run defile in PvE. I'm not even sure dungeon NPCs can be defiled, and for those who matter there are other mechanics that need to be interrupted to stop them from healing ex. bash the healers who cast beam, or break free from Droda's beam in Direfrost Keep. Minor defile is a poison effect, and major defile can be gotten from a few skills and the disease damage enchant. If you want to run poison, I recommend running a resource poison instead. As for enchants shock or fire damage for magicka builds, and poison for stamina builds have much higher DPS. Disease damage has low DPS since it has to be balanced with the utility it provides in PvP

    A few, but most of the healing can be interrupted if someone remembers to bash or take out the healers. Some bosses have phases where they are immune to damage, don't know if Defile would help there.

    That being said, it is not a bad thing to have Defile, but I have not run with that as a focus. But if if comes with other things that help your build, then go for it.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.
