General question.
Do you expect to get beaten to hell and back a lot? You seem to be really about the "Stay alive", but in my experience, Defenders are damn hard to hurt. I've only bloodied the fighter and paladin in my group a few times.
Especially with there all ready being a defender in your group, but just an NPC healer. Do you genuinely feel that a Defender with a little healing is more important than a healer with a little defending?
