With vexxing mordina it makes healing a lot more viable late game as you can cast 2 shadowbonds with the leech still active. I agree that dispelling Recourse is a fools errand. For any sort of XP expedition a necro is one of the best possible groupmates to have for a wide variety of reasons

1) Can off-tank heal the group like no one else in the game
2) Can main-tank heal if the content isnt too tough or good CC, but I contend necro heal is better with a priest, particularly the synergy with Shaman
3) Paralyzing Earth is the best root in the game
4) Pump mana to Knights and casters
5) Snare/FD for easy initial splitting (don't recommend a necro being a main puller)
6) Can rez
7) Backstab pet and EoT both do great damage (plus high end necro tap hits 700+ damage)
8) Charm in most high end Kunark dungeons - HS/Seb/Chardok/KC
9) non-gear dependant class
10) Best class in the game
