So...
Captain: Just like with the Guardian, when in a raid, you should go HoH and sacrifice IDOME for SotD (Fellowship Brother is a must).

I have one emblem for soloing, and one for grouping (which I still dont have the legacy for SorD CD, but will do when I get my first age).

Focus is: To Arms duration, all my healing skills, SotD CD, Escape from Darkness CD.
I heal, I buff, I rez. That's my role...
If I'll buff with Song Brother or Blade Brother, depends on the situation. Sometimes I'll switch, sometimes stick to one...

Since we work out of defeat events and crits (either to get defeat events or to heal for real) that's how I go:

Gear:
3 Armour of Perseverance (-20% defeat event CD)
3 Armour of Loyalty (lots of mits and -25% Escape from Darkness, which with the emblem legacy makes it a 02m30s CD in-combat rez)
Jewelry is all might and crit - more heals and more chance to crit (both on heals and Pressing Attack and Dev Blow - defeat event)

Blue traits are:
Fear no Darkness (+20% Healing on Words of Courage)
Blood of Númenor (must have. period.)
Now for Wrath (must have. period.)
Deeds Before Words (Inspire will restore 25% more morale - and 25% more power, if using Song Brother)
Relentless Optimism (Your critical heals will heal 50% more. That's where the cappy heals are)

Red Traits:
Renewed Voice (helps me unlocking Pressing Attack and Dev Blow, which will give me a defeat event no a crit, so I can heal/buff)
Turn of the Tide (a little aoe stun now and then is always nice for the raid, lowers incoming dmg, tho Expert Attacks is good to crit on Pressing Attack and Dev Blow)

(edit)
There's an argument I'd consider... using 2 yellow (Tactical Prowess and Composure/Defiance).
The reason here would be to have no CD on the Marks. In the Moors there's a lot of switching targets, and being able to mark the next right away is a very nice thing........... I've tried it and found it very good!
(end-edit)

Now, the real magic on a good cappy, which I confess I'm not that good with, is using In Harm's Way.

You must master the use of it not only with Last Stand, but at any time. It's all about moving away (cause there's a range to where you'll absorb the dmg), warning it's up and getting the healer to heal you, or not heal at all when Last Stand is up with it.

Not all cappies will agree to all this, but those are my tips to cappies raiding in the Moors: be a cappy, not a champ wannabe.

i didnt read all the post but if u really want to faceroll a creep raid with a lot of wls and defilers just make sure that ur captains gear the set with Incoming Healing debuff and trait LoM, then spam routing crys on their healers all the time.

thats it
