Minor/Major Ward suggestion: resource restore.

Instead of completely discontinuing the Ward buff, why not have it cater to restoring the players lowest resource once every 2 seconds when taking damage.

Minor Ward: When taking damage, restore 330 Magicka once every 2 seconds while wielding one-handed, two-handed, one-hand & shield or bow weapons, or 330 Stamina once every 2 seconds while wielding restoration or Destruction Staves.
Major Ward: When taking damage, restore 1320 Magicka once every 4 seconds while wielding one-handed, two-handed, one-hand & shield or bow weapons, or 1320 Stamina once every 2 seconds while wielding restoration or Destruction Staves.

I mostly based the effects for tanks to use as a utility, because it is hard enough to maintain resources When focused on High Maximum health and Armor.
