In large-scale PvP, other than keeping your team alive, your main role on the battlefield is to spread as many of your curses as possible. Your playstyle should:

Select an enemy > use your skills that inflict curses > deal some damage if possible and disrupt the enemy using your crowd control skills > move out and return to your teammates.

Cycle this strategy over and over to control the enemy team, proc your passive, and deal damage, all while healing your team.

Rotation example:

Precast Invincible Wall before engagement.
Camouflage Cloak to initiate combat.
Use Touch of Despair and Corrupted Magic Circle to stack damage, while building Full of Corruption for healing bonuses.
Activate Swift Healing, Clay’s Salvation, or Fountain of Life depending on the healing need.
Deploy Blessed Barrier for emergency shielding.

Always prioritize healing your group while rotating defensive cooldowns to shield them and yourself. Keep Shadow Escape handy for a quick disengage or reposition.
