Torugs and Seducer
BSW and Mother's Sorrow.
Jorvulds and Icy Conjurer
Mix it up a little.
Yea I agree. A lot of healers just pure heal or wear sets designed to buff 8 dps when there are only two. That’s why a lot of groups go tank and 3 dps.
People call them selfish sets, but really they’re efficient sets.
Which Sets are designed to buff 8DPS?
As far as I know pretty much any Healer Set used in Trial Situations is useable in Dungeons aswell.
I agree, that certain Sets like Worm, Mending, Sanctuary are overkill in Dungeons. Worm because you never know which kind of DPS you get stuck with(Mag/Stam), Sanctuary's Heal Buff isn't needed with the low Damage taken in Dungeons. And Mending.. Just no. xD

I think the general Idea of yours is good. The examples given are certainly mostly not viable for Healers. A good Healer has to buff and debuff, so throwing one of the best Sources of Major Courage(Olorime/SPC Buff) away is not a good idea.
BSW and MS is a full Dps Setup and as a Healer you would have to use a Flame Staff Backbar instead of a Lightning Staff to even proc BSW. This means that you lose another important Buff: Off Balance.
I could say more, but to make it short. With these Setups you may increase your own DPS a bit, considering you are healing and debuffing as much as possible all the while aswell. But by choosing to use no Olorime in any of these Ideas and partly even going for a Set, that requires Flame Damage to procc, you decrease the DDs and partly even your own DPS. Which isn't the point.
Well Olorime is good, but a lot of sets aren’t worth the opportunity cost.
An example is if you’re building to increase each dps’ damage by 10% so they go from 40 to 44k dps each, but you’re losing the opportunity to do 15k more damage yourself then it’s not worth it.
I think the best dungeon healing sets are probably Olorime and Master Architect, but haven’t tested it. In other games with dungeon groups of say 5 or 6 it can be worth going full support, ESO groups are small so why not do damage too.

My Healplar loves to solo quest, heal for random strangers (like at WBs/dolmens). For dungeons, she often runs solo but when she groups it is usually with pug. She is also unabashedly selfish in her gear selections. She does want some extra damage and hates slotting a big burst heal (like BoL) because she so very rarely needs it. So her gear selections are a reflection of all that.
She's very happy with the following gear setup:
Seducer x5. One of several factors that help her never run out of blue.
Rattlecage x5. Spell damage boosts heals & dps both so she wants major sorcery all the time. She absolutely refuses to suck potions to get it so that is out. She hasn't the slots for Entropy (which is a poor spell anyway).
Earthgore x2. This, combined with solid use of Combat Prayer and Illustrious healing for 'burst' lets her avoid slotting BoL or Ritual of Rebirth. That in turns, lets her slot more support.

Seducer is such an underrated set. it really is an unsung hero.
So what will be best purchaseable healer set from guild stores for templar healer? Using olorime in body with master resto staff thinking of going with elegant set back bar what would be best alternative and yeah easy to get as well?

The only time I get to be a pure healer anymore is vet-trials. Or solo healing a normal trial. Its just really how it is for me anymore.

Sanctuary + SPC. Ignore Olorime in PUGs as nobody even notices the circle.
Firstly I would change masters staff to asylum ready for this weeks masters nerf.
Then if ur doing dungeons kragnacs for ressing , if u can I would get trial gear like infal aether . Or make/purchase Julianous
my main toon is a templar healer, and i use olo and ebon with either rkugamz or symphony.
i get some odd looks from others.
ebon is NOT a tank set. it is a support set.
