Gist of the Build.

This is purly an AoE tank build. However it is very effective. You cast Avatar of Balthazar first. This will last about 76 seconds (the build is still effective without it up but it helps a great deal for tanking because of the +40 armor. What you will be using it for though is the 33% speed boost while it is on. Cast Faithful Invervention and Vital Boon then run in and go to the enemy you want. Cast Heart of Holy Flame and Zealous Renewal. Then immediately break all your enchantments with Contemplation of Purity. This will give you all your energy and health back. Cast BA and Aura of Thorns, so they cant run away. Stay by them and repeat Heart of Holy Flame and Zealous Renewal for damage.

It should be noted that when you break Holy Flame and Aura of thorns you will set them on Fire for 4 seconds and cause bleeding. Cast Vital Boon and Faithful intervent when needed and break them when needed. Faithful Intevention will automatically end when you health drops below 50% so you don't need to break it but it is hard not to.

This particular build uses a staff (Scourwind's Staff is best) that gives you a +60 health and +1 20% chance of smiting skills.

Also there are some other versions of this buil for PvP and PvE which include a scythe instead of a staff. I'll re-edit this with specifics later.
