  In my opinion you have way too many attacks and heals. What I would suggest are some attacks and heals that have fast activations and/or are click type powers that linger after you use them. That way you can attack and switch to healing really quick when needed. And there are other ways to build a support toon so not to have to actively heal so much. Pets don't really do good damage unless you build for them and get as many as possible. Depending on what passive you pick, you have many synergies to choose from but it all comes down to theme and play-style. Besides "Angel of Life", what is the theme and your play-style? I would be able to help you better if I knew these things. And one last thing... some specs in Sentinel Tree are borked or useless.

  as for a theme basically just the whole angel thing. Seemed appropriate for a healer. Perhaps also reminds me of my cleric in **** and my Winged Elf Cleric in PWI. In that regard having the Valkyrie and the flaming swords seems to fit nicely. I also like that I can let them go and do their own thing while healing or dpsing. So if there is a way I would like to keep them. Would it make sense for me to replace the sentinal tree with that one that is for pets? if so which specs from it should I get.
  
  As for my heals and attacks which do you think I should replace and with what. I notice that I rarely use Vala's light. I use conduit a lot. mostly on bosses. I would like to have at least one AOE though I am not sure I like the cone style ones, might replace that Rebuke seems a bit redundant with conduit around. but it is a starter skill so I might be stuck with it and it does work well to tap quickly to save a person on the edge of dying.
  
  I am also not sure overdrive is doing much or anything was thinking about swapping it out but none of the other energy unlocks seem useful.

  Something to consider:

  Guardian: Fortified Gear (3/3)
  Guardian: Ruthless (2/2)
  Guardian: Find the Mark (2/3)
  Guardian: The Best Defense (3/3)
  Mastery: Presence Mastery (1/1)
  
  3 Adv points unspent for travel powers of your choice.
  
  Why?
  
  Rebuke is not a good power. Using it for damage means you are spending more time charging than damaging. It does not hit that hard. Charged heals give their best yield when used at full charge, but players can be dead before you can charge up.
  
  Iniquity is the game's best heal other. With Conviction, the heal from Seraphim and the heal from Selfless Ally, you should not have to worry about the self damage. This means your heal others are a click (Iniquity) and a maintain (Conduit).
  
  I sacrificed the damage boost from Ego for a bigger energy pool for maintaining Conduit. The Ego ranged damage boost is OK, but having the energy is imo better. taking the Best Defense from the Guardian spec should more than make up for the loss. Yes, I know that Str for Melee and Ego for ranged is the current flavor. However, the bonus is additive, and you will have the bonuses from Compassion, Offense and Seraphim to fuel your damage. Also, if in a situation where there is no reason to be a healer, you can run in hybrid, where the larger Energy pool from SSS End will make a difference.
  
  Guardian over Overseer. Why? The Best Defense is too good to pass up.
  
  Pets: while tito is correct, it sounds like you want them for concept. This is fine, imo.
  
  AoE heals: drop Illumination on your defensive target(s) and use Conduit on them. It's spread is not that big of an area, but neither is the area of Vala's. I put Brilliance on Illumination to make it easier to propogate Illumination to multiple targets without having to target and click individually. In Alerts, for instance, you can tag most of the team with Illumination while still in the starter bubble.

  I made a more balanced support build with an Angel theme, hope it fits what you had in mind. I does everything support toons should do with decent DPS plus it looks really cool and plays different than most of whats out there. It can click group heal, debuff enemy damage, and stun mobs for 12 seconds so you don't need to actively heal as much.
  
  PowerHouse (Link to this build)
  
  Name: Support Battle Angel
  
  Archetype: Freeform
  
  Super Stats:LV40 Test toon had 71DEX 73CON 558PRE and 142DEX 144CON 629PRE(other stats 81-86) with AoPM in support role
  Level 6: Presence (Primary)
  Level 10: Constitution (Secondary)
  Level 15: Dexterity (Secondary)
  
  Talents:
  Level 1: The Savage
  Level 6: Intimidating
  Level 9: Enduring
  Level 12: Agile
  Level 15: Acrobat
  Level 18: Finesse
  Level 21: Shrug It Off
  
  Powers:
  Level 1: Radiance Theme energy builder
  Level 1: Conviction (Rank 2, Rank 3) Great self heal, it crits and procs MSA
  Level 6: Iniquity (Rank 2, Justice) Main heal, with adv. it becomes an AoE heal, uses your HP instead of energy to heal
  Level 8: Sigils of Ebon Weakness (Rank 2, Rank 3) Great mob damage/movement debuffer, scales with PRE, with 629PRE it debuffs for -71%damage and -80%movement speed
  Level 11: Molecular Self-Assembly Great secondary energy unlock, scales with INT and procs from cooldowns ending
  Level 14: Bountiful Chi Resurgence (Resurgent Reiki) Self heal, procs MSA and with adv. works great with dodge
  Level 17: Masterful Dodge Active Defense, gives +dodge chance and +avoidance
  Level 20: Ego Surge (Rank 2, Nimble Mind) Active Offence, break free, adv. increases crit chance scaling with CON
  Level 23: Aura of Primal Majesty (Rank 2, Rank 3) Great passive, +raw stat points, team buff scales with PRE, giving out +65 stats to self and +95stats to team in support role
  Level 26: Collective Will (Rank 2, Consume Will) Theme attack, if used on stunned mobs you will get multiple summons
  Level 29: Manipulator Toggle, gives +hold duration, scales with PRE/INT
  Level 32: Storm of Arrows (Rank 2, Rank 3) Theme attack, Angels go with bow/arrows in my head
  Level 35: Thunderclap (Rank 2, Rank 3) AoE Stun attack, procs Manipulator and MSA
  Level 38: Redemption Rez
  
  Travel Powers:
  Level 6: Flight (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 35: Teleportation
  
  Specializations: Spec'ed for Damage/Defense/Holds/Heal-easiness
  Presence: Selfless Ally (2/2) Helps with Iniquity
  Presence: Dominion (2/2) +Hold duration
  Presence: Grandeur (3/3) Great synergy with other tree specs for more offence/defense
  Presence: Moment of Glory (3/3) +Crit chance
  Warden: Fortified Gear (3/3) Great synergy with other tree specs for more offence/defense
  Warden: Ruthless (2/2)
  Warden: Elusive (2/2)
  Warden: The Best Defense (3/3) Great synergy with other tree specs for more offence/defense
  Vindicator: Aggressive Stance (2/2) Great synergy with other tree specs for more offence/defense
  Vindicator: Merciless (3/3)
  Vindicator: Offensive Expertise (2/2)
  Vindicator: Mass Destruction (3/3)
  Mastery: Vindicator Mastery (1/1)
  
  The way the build plays is to always be the first in to attack. You first stun mobs with Thunderclap and get Sigils of Ebon Weakness up for debuff, and Collective Will for multipe angel/spirit looking summons. Then you just attack with Storm of Arrows followed by Thunderclap while keeping an eye on the team and healing really fast with Iniquity as needed. Always keep BCR up to help with Iniquity's self damage and top it off with a Conviction after long heals. Hope this helps you in some way.
