Conlusion

I think "the" main problem the Ritualist has, is a very bad energy management that really needs to be adressed. Secondly, some skills need recharge and an activation time reduction. With those problems gone, I think that the Ritualists in PvE can not only heal / prot much better, but will become more versatile in general in terms of builds and playstyles.
