Equipment
Player's Choice.(Radiant or Survivor armor is preferred)
Sword with +5 energy and 20% enchant mod (or a Fortitude modification) and a max armor Shield, +30 health. Since you have balanced stance, try to get a shield with a -2 while in a stance.
Focus swapping items for energy when needed.
Usage
Use Zealous Benediction on targets with low health. Use Infuse Health on targets getting spiked (this requires a fast reaction time). Use Reversal of Fortune and Shield of Absorption on allies about to be taking heavy damage. Use Dismiss condition for condition removal. Use Shield Bash and Balanced Stance when you think you are getting spiked, or if you know you are about to be. Otherwise, don't spam those skills. Try to keep your energy up, casting a spell maybe once every 3-4 seconds.
Counters
General spellcasting counters, such Backfire and Diversion.
Knockdowns while Balanced Stance isn't up.
Variants
Use Deadly Riposte or Riposte instead of Shield Bash. Be sure to bring a sword should you do so.
