Since my cleric is mostly only a bot for me, and rarely used as a grouping cleric, the aggro aa's for the most part don't have any effect on my healing abilities, as my cleric won't pull aggro off my pet. Divine Arb would be nice to get, but since it doesn't affect my pet, I'm holding off on that one too. The group HoT though would be a great aa to get after I get my healing aa's up farther. Does this sound like one of the best routes for me, considering my cleric's main uses?
if you ever - EVER - use your cleric as anything but a pet healer, get dvarb =p it's three aa, and one of the most useful things ever. nearly instant (.8 second) aggroless heal that heals as much as needed.
I would pass on the group hot. I have quite a few levels of it, and mine is still I think only 750 a tick.
I think I would do something like
dvarb
one level of RC
SCM3/scrm
shieldblock3 (better return than any other defensive aa)
+% to healing base aas
direct heal crit aas
other defensive aas
I'm probably missing some - but I would pass on aggro reduction aas until you have a ton of the others. It's pretty hard to get aggro as a cleric. The only times I got aggro were when all the offtanks were dead - and I only bought the new aggro redux aa within the last week.
sidenote: the % to direct heal aas and crit heal aas are pretty much the ONLY things that effect CH, thus, if you tend to use CH a ton on your cleric, might move them up.
