Overview
A Scourge hybrid healer/DPS build that brings easy full 
敏捷 uptime, very high 
激怒 uptime, and high (with the possibility of full) 
威能 uptime to its subgroup, solid amounts of healing, and the signature support Scourge resurrectability. Most of the healing comes in the form of barrier — which is great for maintaining health (particularly useful for modifiers that require being above a certain HP%) and doesn't get reduced by 
痛苦 — and 
再生, and as such, this build isn't amazing at burst healing. This is not a problem most of the time as even should the combination of barrier and regen fail the ease of resurrection should make most things recoverable.

Usage
Healing
显形沙影, 
黄沙瀑布, 
沙暴帷幕, and 
巨蛇虹吸 (plus 沙尘闪耀 if you take it) are your big sources of barrier.
- Do remember though that your allies can only get up to 50% of their total health in barrier.
- Use
炫耀之柱 for the pulsing healing to your allies but you might wish to save it if you'll need to rez someone or for CC. - 巨蛇虹吸 and
鲜血法池 will provide full 再生 uptime if used off cooldown.
- Dodge every now and then for the regen from
闪避印记.
- Dodge every now and then for the regen from
- If you're taking
起死回生 then 沙暴帷幕 also does healing.
Boons
- Using your barrier skills off cooldown will basically guarantee full 敏捷 uptime with a good fifteen or more seconds of leeway.
- 致命干燥,
重压崩溃, and 
鲜血力量 are your main sources of 威能. - 沙暴帷幕 does very high
保护 uptime. - Using 致命干燥 off-cooldown should guarantee full 激怒 uptime, given its reduced recharge due to your permanent 敏捷.
CC
General Tips
- You should always have at least one Shade active from 显形沙影 for the bonus Concentration and Expertise from
黄沙贤者. - If you're using the Scepter, try not to interrupt your auto-attack chain for the high damage dealt by
腐烂诅咒.
- Bunch uses of your other weaponskills and utility skills to use them all together so as to avoid interrupting the auto-attack chain.
Encounter Specific Tips and Variants
Bastion of the Penitent
Hand Kiting
This build can be modified to kite hands for Deimos while using 
德薇娜古物 and Plaguedoctor Plaguedoctor's stats, making it possible for the tank to run very low toughness.
Mechanic
Life force generation will be mostly handled by 
无尽生命, 
鬼灵铠甲, 
巫妖形态, and the myriad dying spirits and hands, so you don't need to worry about that. It's a tricky build to run, however, and requires some precise timing and practice.
For the hands themselves, you can very comfortably stack five of them; between the insane amounts of barrier and 再生 you can generate and 鬼灵铠甲, the damage from them is just actually not a problem.
- Try to always use 鬼灵铠甲 just as the hands are spawning to get the full benefit of the 保护 and life force generation.
- Use your barrier skills and 炫耀之柱 off-cooldown.
- You can start casting
黄沙膨胀 just after the fourth hand spawns to get out of the fifth and instantly get some barrier.
Now, the main problem is Mind Crush. The only way you have to deal with it is the 
圣盾 from 巨蛇虹吸. However, that gets eaten by a single hit of the hands, and Mind Crush does overlap with them, so if you're getting hands just as Mind Crush is coming you will need to either have very precise timing about the damage ticks or to walk around a bit so that they hands don't have time to hurt you.
- With the 敏捷 this build provides you have two 巨蛇虹吸s per Mind Crush cycle, so use one to tank the Mind Crush and then the next one for some extra barrier and regeneration.
- Right after the instant-down of Mind Crush you will start getting ticking damage for 70% of your max HP which won't get reduced by 保护. 鲜血法池 is your best healing tool for the heavy damage so stay in it for the full heal. 沙暴帷幕 will also heal you due to 起死回生, as will 炫耀之柱 because of
鲜血输送.
Some more general tips:
- You can use 闪避印记 and your staff's
鲜血印记 on the spirits that start spawning to kill Saul to get some extra regeneration for yourself. The hands themselves don't trigger Marks, though. - If you're finding yourself not needing so much pure healing, taking
血库 can be a nice source of some extra barrier. - You can also use 巫妖形态 for some extra temporary vitality so that the hands effectively do less damage to you. This isn't a good escape from Mind Crush's ticking damage though because it's based on a percentage of your max health not on actual values, and you do need to take care when you use it since you won't have access to your healing Utilities—but you do still have access to your Shade skills.
