Frontbar (Sword and Board)
When you're about to engage on a fight, pop your
Phantasmal Escape as a way to mitigate AOE damage (Major Evasion), also you can roll-dodge for free after taking 5 direct hits (as long as it's active). Remember to refresh this skill every 12 seconds in order to keep your Major Resolve up -
Shadow Barrier.
Then, use your
Inner Rage on the targeted enemy and have up to 3 teammates synergize with the ability as a way to avoid the target to go into stealth (it only becomes a DoT when an ally synergizes with it).
Use your
Mystic Orb in two cases: everytime your group moves, the Orb has to follow you as a means of resource recovery, and also to deal damage to nearby enemies. You walked five meters? Pop it again!
Merciless Resolve deals damage when you have five or more stacks, but only use it when the enemy is either low-health or you need to heal while on the frontbar (use in melee range).
If for some reason you're being heavily targeted, use your
Shadowy Disguise to reposition yourself. Make sure you don't have any DoTs on you, otherwise the damage will get you out of stealth. Pop it and vanish!

Backbar (Restoration Staff)
Healthy Offering is the best single-target burst heal in the game as it costs very little magicka and provides you with Minor Mending: all subsequent heal ticks will be 8% more effective for the next 10 seconds.
Use your
Radiating Regeneration proactively as it is your main source of providing Critical Resistance from
Robes of Transmutation. Pop it once per 3 allies (+1 just to be safe). If you're in a group of 12 members, pop it 5 times.
Blessing of Restoration is your AOE spammable. Use it whenever multiple allies need healing, while also providing a little bit of resistance (Minor Resolve).
Refreshing Path is a source of Major Expedition for the group. Pop it when engaging, when retreating, when stationary... Pop whenever, just for fun! No, but for reals now, it provides resource recovery as well, hence why it's important to pop it on cooldown.
Siphoning Attacks is here for multiple reasons: it provides you resource in exchange for some health; you heal AND restore magicka when you deal damage every second; you can also use it as a way to proc your
Robes of Transmutation on yourself.
