Just to clarify Sonny's post..
Mystics are better AE Debuffers - Defilers are better Single target. Both are able to hit the cap for slows/DPS reduction..Mystics buff Stats (STR/STA/AGI etc) - Defilers buff Raw HP/Power.Wards are IdenticalMystics have a small HP buff on their heals - Defilers heal for more, but cast times are slower.Defilers have slightly higher DPS from spell damage - Mystics have more Melee DPS due to STR buffs.
Basically the classes are fairly well balanced when you look at the overall picture, really you should be asking Should i live in Freeport or Qeynos..
There are a ton of Mystic vs Defiler posts all over the boards, so I'd suggest doing a search if you want more detailed information..
And like Sonny said, if you want a healer who can solo well, Fury would be your best choice.. Good heals, and great DPS (for a priest) at later levels.

Do Defilers have anything that is like torpor or oberon? Those are 2 of my favorite moves on my mystic, although I don't get to use oberon too often (Its great in duels though).Edit: ZOMFGZ My 40th post! Thats like, almost 1k!!!!!!!!!!1!1!1!1!1!ONE
