HELP! AC/DC Healer/Buff/De-Buff... Which tree to re-feat to? (NOT DPS focused)

Ok so I'm not often on the forums and I took a 3 month leave from the game for family issues.
I got back on and now I'm staring at a major change for my beloved AC/DC with her feats and I'm lost!
I was a faithful AC and I'm looking at that tree and I REALLY don't like what I'm seeing, it also looks like I'm not going to have my 4th divine pip back:mad::(.
I was able on my former feat tree and abilities to do Castle Never with the right group and any of the other really hard ones.
I was REALLY focused on being a healer/tank/buff/debuff for PVE (with just enough PVP to get my profound set for the Divine/Heal gain)
Now I'm LOST!!! I'm looking at the Faithful tree and the capstone of that tree says I LOSE healing for a chance to MAYBE PROC heal myself and others later when they really need it...? Knowing Cryptic after their RNG in IWD. I'm more then leery of any RNG PROCs saving my rear end or my friends.
BUGs and RNG and Cryptic seem to go hand 'n' glove 'n' rear end.:rolleyes: (but I so love this game!!!):o
So ANY Feat builds that every one has would be GREAT also with an explanation of why/how/focus of your builds.

Virtuous tree: Tanky, practically Indestructible, lots of healing, low enough DPS it takes an eternity to burn down a mob. Did I say 'eternity'? I didn't mean that literally. What I mean literally is "for-fekking-EVAR"! Well, you get the idea. For me: overkill on the healing and the cost in DPS (length of burn-down time) just isn't worth it. For me.
Faithful tree: Decent DPS, lots of healing. Feels to me like a really good balance between support/damage-dealing - easy enough to provide good party support, damage is good enough to not take for-lekking-EVAR to burn-down a mediocre mob. I plan to run my primary-alt DC on this path: AC-Faithful. Capstone is freakin' amazing for group support. Expect a nerf.
Righteous tree: Burn-down the village and watch everything melt. Literally. Read the PvP forums: hell hath frozen over as people are actually complaining that the DC (!) is "OP". Can you believe THAT? Yeah - they are either OP for DPS if Righteous or OP for HP if Faithful or Virtuous. Anyway, my Primary Main DC is going DO Rightous path.
To summarize: Here's how *I* see the paths:
Virtuous: takes way too damned LONG to kill anything. This can create a problem for survivability, also.
Faithful: Awesome in either Divine Oracle or Anointed Champion trees, great group support, decent DPS.
Righteous: Burn 'em all, let the Gods sort them out; kick-zzz, take names later; Vessel of the Wrath of the Gods'. Pick your quip.
I reiterate that these are my own personal perceptions, everyone will feel differently of course.
That helps me in thinking of what I want to do.
I don't agree with everything he writes, but as always he's very thorough in explaining the new normal/divine/empowered powers, as well as the new paragon feats.
My DC was created as a healer/buffer, so she's DO Faithful still, with 10 points in Righteous (Astral Fury and Righteous Suffering) so she does decent dps when solo.
I'm probably going to make another DC, dragonborn this time -- and I'm leaning towards DO Righteous, with 10 points in Faithful -- I love the Benefit of Foresight feat too much to give it up.
