What is the best AoE/group healing spell?

I'm currently a VR13 templar healer/utility and need help deciding on a definitive AoE heal. On my bar I have BoL for the burst heal and Repentance for when there are plenty of bodies, however I want to start doing trials in the near future so I need a spell that will be able to heal most of, if not all of the 12-man group. Which spell do you guys think does this the best?

    Lingering Ritual IMHO but its between that or healing springs. Lingering ritual has a 2s cast time but it also has a HOT built in to cover the cast time gap a little and has more passives attached to it then Springs like 30% healing 10% healing and Ulti points for casting on targets below 60% and heals you for more because you are in melee range) Springs is more mobile and ranged but heals for much much less. Both are about equal in their resource use and targets.

    You are looking at Quick fast and mobile but can be overpowered.
    Or Slow very heavy hitting but has a 1second window to be killed in.

    Youre also forced to use a resto staff with springs where ritual does not. Those are pretty much your pros and cons. Also keep in mind armor sets that give channeled spell buffs. Ritual gets that springs does not.

    Healing springs would work better if the group youre healing is detached from you because you can place it away a bit. If the group is in your area I say lingering ritual. Aoe heal, cost less than bol, heals for more. Has cast time so that factors in.

    Healing all twelve at the same time unless they're stacked on you will be the challenge.

    Blessing of restoration (Blessing of protection morph -Restoration Staff) is a nice heal if you can line folk up.
    Unless you want combat prayer for the dps buff I'd recommend it.

    Ritual of rebirth is also pretty good, it does have a cast time so you need to time it correctly with incoming damage.
    To early you wasted time and resources, too late and folk are dead.

    If there is a single boss just cast soul siphon (in my opinion the best heal ingame) on it and use healing springs or bol depending on the boss and situation
    PC,EU, EP
    Der-über-Zwerge-springt (Argonian, Magplar), Surtur Velothi (Dunmer, Magdk), Jaqene H'ghar (Imperial, Stamblade), Puppyslayer (Orc, Stamdk), Dagoth Era (Dunmer, Magblade), Æthmon Trevas (Altmer, Magsorc), Der-Zuletzt-Lacht (Argonian, Magden), Sir-Lanzeflott (Redguard, Stamplar)

    tbh a nice heal skill for beginning of battles is blood alter or one of its morphs I use a morphed blood alter because it has a synergy that allows players to heal 60% max hp that's usefull for moments you need a breather on charging back up ulti or magicka via pot or heavy attacks. its something I use for the synergy only downside is it isn't a huge area so they have to be semi grouped for it to be effective and probably good idea to let them know what the effect of it does so they can calculate best time to use it when it is available.
