I am a big fan of Restoration. It is the dutiful daughter of the skills, always there when you need it for healing after a fight. Plus it gives you one darned good walloper with Absorb Health. Then of course you have all the Fortifies, Cure Disease and Poison, and the Restore Attributes are a must when Will-O-The-Wisps come on the scene.
I'll second that. It's significant that the default spell that all characters get is a Restoration one.
