Impenetrable will certainly help since there are a lot of crit builds out there in Cyrodiil ... unless you are keeping damage shields up 100% of the time.

Reviewing your skills, I only see one damage shield listed, Ward Ally. The choice is yours between shields and impen, but the shields must strictly be up 100% during combat without any gaps between recast. In addition, note that harness magicka (light armor skill tree) is getting nerfed down to 6 seconds and won't have any magicka regen attached anymore. All of this simply points to it being more practical to just run impenetrable. Choice is yours. If you do decide to run shields, be sure to put CP points into bastion in the Lord constellation.

Another option is to run 5-1-1 heavy instead of 5-1-1 light. You would lose some of the light armor passive bonuses for cost of spells and regen ... but you would certainly be tankier and more survivable. Moreover, you could make the large pieces impen (chest, head, shoulders, legs, feet -- if you do decide on impen) to maximize your total crit resistance.

Templars generally have a harder time with DPS compared to sorcs ... and it appears your trying to mix in some DPS with your heals for solo and small group PvP.

First off, Seducer and Magnus are super for magicka pool and regen ... and thus are great choices for dedicated healers. However, these sets don't support DPS all that well. I'm guessing your unbuffed spell damage on your character stats is somewhere south of 1,500? You'll want to get that to at least 2,000 in my opinion. Running an armor set that has any sort of spell damage bonus will help (e.g. Julianos, Kagrenac's, etc.). Enchanting your Willpower jewelry with spell damage enchants is another option.

Second, you're not maximizing your armor set bonuses by running one extra Willpower staff and Torug's swords. In my opinion, it would be better to have one 5-piece set and one 4-piece set to complement your Willpower jewelry.

I'm going to leave it up to you on which armor sets to use. That is the fun of theorycrafting. As you are already aware, you'll want to upgrade the jewelry to arcane by grinding Imperial City or searching the guild stores.

Food: There's still room for you to upgrade to blue Orzoga's Red Frothgar, purple V15 food or drink, or gold food.

Potions: Are you running any potions during combat? The most popular for PvP Templars are the V15 immovable (unstoppable) pots that restore health and magicka. There are other good options, however, including potions for spell damage, spell critical, speed, and detection.

Mundus Stone: I'm currently running the Ritual on my dedicated healing Templar (who is getting close to PvP rank 25). Another popular option is the Thief for those extra crit heals. I think it's hard to go wrong, here, since you're aiming for an all-around DPS/heals.

Just my initial thoughts. Hope this helps and good luck!

Well immovable pots are big on a magica build. If you get CCed with two people on you, you're probably dead.

As above, impen is the best trait for pvp.

Harness magica will give you a physical and spell shield next patch.

Drop eclipse.. It gives cc immunity.

Your spell damage is really low. You should be at least 2k on dps bar unbuffed. Structured entropy is your spell power buff and also increases your health by 5k.

How much regen do you have? With seducer and barrier slotted in healing bar you should have great sustain, you probably won't need engine guardian. For healing, kagernacs or seducer as your 5 piece then magnus for the rest is a good setup until you have spell power cure or something like that.
