Orbs or Shards?

Recently I've been trying to get serious in my role within the healing world. So far I like it a lot. All my time in ESO has been siloed obsessing over my DPS effectiveness. Now I want to learn more and become a great healer. Currently, I am a Breton/Tmplr - Olorime/Sanctuary/EG.
My question is what do you prefer from your healer, Shards or Orbs? I know they can be situational but with the changes to orbs I assume some things have changed in their preference. I like the shards to feed the tank but I also know orbs (I love them as a deeps) helps everyone, not just the tank. I have both but would like a little insight from the community.
Also, any tips from seasoned healers outside of this thread topic would be greatly appreciated e.g like what situation sets I should keep for certain content, etc.
Thank you!

Jack_TheImpaler✭✭✭With the amount of Magplars in trials now Shards are coming from DD's, so Orbs would take priority, but I see healers using both.0 -
DD's mostly need orbs and tank need shards, so just check with the other healer who run which.0

Honestly, BOTH, I fire both in my healing "rotation". Essentially with the strategy being, shards on the tank, orbs towards the dps.
I find there is plenty of room on the bar for both, no need to make an either or decision.
Re your final sentence. Olorime+Sanctuary are my desired combo and usually any trial group is happy with this. But I do keep a set of worms on me, because if its a heavily magica focused trial group, the leader may prefer one healer with worms. Jorvulds is also a nice set.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, the meta seems to be tending towards using Infallible Aether set right now. I dont use it on my healers. Also if you are just starting out, spell power cure is easy to farm from White Gold Tower and an excellent set until you get Olorime.Edited by Grianasteri on October 9, 2019 2:55PM2
