This spell has been reworked to actually be useful. Better four years late than never, I suppose.
One issue persists with the Ritual of Rebirth morph. This morph heals an additional ally outside of the 10 meter radius. The problem is that the additional heal isn't a smart target. It does not heal the lowest health ally, instead choosing to heal whichever person is farthest away.
Say you have two allies outside the initial heal radius. One is 15 meters away and is at 50% health, while the second is 20 meters away and at 100% health. The secondary heal of Ritual of Rebirth will target the player with 100% health. This leaves the spell feeling awkward to use, as it has a "dead zone" of sorts. I suppose it isn't unfair to say to just slot BoL / HtD for better smart heals, but I just don't have room on my bar for both. I'd rather switch to Ritual in PvE and save Honor the Dead for PvP.
