I'm not sure this is even remotely viable, as a caveat. But with all this recent talk of the possibility of Presence as a DPS stat....

I'd also try to fit in Ego Sleep / Plagued by Nightmares for a reliable fear, and *strongly* consider Lifedrain with Vampiric Sympathy. Probably instead of Empathic Healing, personally. Iniquity is a VERY good heal other.
However, Concentration only scales with Int/Ego, not Pre, so it doesn't look like you'll get a lot of mileage out of your Form at present.
If I was trying to do the healer/dps hybrid thing, I'd probably fit in Compassion instead of Concentration, and I'd likely do Sentinel rather than one of the two you picked.
I don't think I've ever actually used either Overseer or Arbiter, so ... yeah.
Also, Circle of Radiant Glory gives an AOE heal on tap every few seconds, if you don't mind adjusting position a little, along with the self-rez capability. I don't really have anyone with a self-rez, but I keep meaning to try that.
OTOH - as a 40 build - ditch Dex, toss in Int, and Concentration will serve you well.

1. Moment of Glory for high-crit reliant builds, like anything using Avenger Mastery.
2. MoG + Vulnerability for a combo of high crit and 10% team-wide -resist that is competitive dps, as long as ya can keep Vuln rolling consistently (which means easy-cast paralyzes and/or ego sleep).
3. Manip CC/stun builds that still use a dps role for the multiplicative dmg boost; best w/ Sorc's Whim for burst dmg on stunned mobs (though Int PSS also works good w/ these, in my experience).
3. TP Reverb + Mind Opener builds (though ya dun really need Pres as a PSS to get enough energy return for this).
That is in addition to the side-benefit of Pres PSS giving you notably stronger self-heals.
This build doesn't really quite sate any of those. Can still be viable, ofc, but I'm not sure Pres PSS would be a nice fit w/ it as current.
Anywho- none of ur SS's are supporting ur toggle (Concentration).
If you are using Shadow Blast to roll Fear for SR and ER, that's fine, but then you'll prob want to rank it up cause Fear only lasts ~12 sec and you'll be renewing it pretty often (or use void lunge w/ adv, or ego sleep w/ adv).
Ya have 2 regular ally heals, which strikes me as a bit redundant. Iniquity is far better hps than Empathic, but then ya prob want to pair it w/ Conviction for the easiest means of healing back the health dmg to you (selfless ally works really well w/ Ascension and Iniquity). Empathic can work okay on its own when fully ranked and back by some Pres, but then I'd prob take out iniquity.
Also, no AoE powers? Would ya be using devices for that?
And I wouldn't bother w/ despondency in PvE, unless you really had nothing better for those 2 points.
Lastly- Arbiter spec is mostly a waste for this build.

Eh, that's much work for a damage boost that mostly just making up for lost time when healing :x It is a nice way to combo healing w/ dps, though, if that's ur goal. Problem is, healing is dynamic compared to doing a dps rotation, so its not like ya can really make that a set thing if ya still want the heals to be opportune (and ofc it's less relevant when solo).
edit: Oh, I guess I should mention- its still feasible to have Honor work w/o time spent on active healing, but the only passive heal auras I'm aware of that proc it are MN and Seraphim (spec auras won't). Ya could make a hybrid healer/dps using paranormal charge-based attacks (so Honor isn't wasted on a small tick of something) and Seraphim + Honor, but ya still need allies or pets nearby for Honor to proc that consistently w/ the aura.
