  For the small pieces that get only partial enchantment and armor potency--gloves and belt--divines is the best trait simply because all the other traits are even worse.
  
  For large pieces like the shield, infused or reinforced is preferable. I never put divines on shield, head, chest, or legs.
  
  As for shoulders and boots, I generally prefer reinforced if I'm using heavy armor (because those pieces have full armor strength) but divines if I'm using light armor (a hundred or two worth of resistance isn't much) and I can go either way with medium.

  From a min/max point of view (PvE):
  
  For all DPS:
  
  You have more than 50% Crit? ---> Shadow + 7 divines ---> 18,3% Crit Damage
  You have less than 50% Crit? ---> Thief + 7 Divines ---> 18,3% Crit
  
  As those 2 values (Crit / Crit Damage) always make the other one worth more when you choose one, you always want to increase the stat that is lower than the other one. (Base Crit Damage is 150% which can be considered as equal to 50% crit in value for your DPS)
  
  One exception is when you use that new set that increases your spell damage when you crit. If you are using that you want to always pick up the Thief although your Crit will most likely be higher than your Crit Damage.
  
  All other Mundus stones can't keep up with the DPS gain you get from picking one of those two.
  
  For Healers:
  
  Your main role might be healer, but your DPS is extremely important aswell. Going for the Ritual is not bad as Ritual is pretty strong right now but that doesn't increase your DPS at all. As a Healer I always recommend picking the Shadow. This increases your Healing AND Damage output by a lot. (Heals crit a lot)
  
  For Tanks:
  
  The new prismatic enchantments are very strong, and getting your armour up high is kind of easy with the new sets so I recommend going full Infused + full prismatic enchantments. Maybe pick Chest Reinforced, but that should be enough. for Mundus pick whatever you feel you need ... The Lord, The Serpent ...
