Agreed.
Actually, it's not so much the Blessed Resilience (which is great) that should make you choose 28/33 build, it's the fact you can't get Spirit of Redemption together with Pain Suppression.
Pain Suppression is dispellable or spellstolen (easy enough to spam dispel), last 8 seconds, and you can still be kicked/counterspelled or whatever. Spirit of Redemption gives 12 seconds of uninterrupted healing, which gives your 2v2 partner (rogue, in my case) a nice timeframe to finish of 1 opponent and get a good headstart on the second one. Against a 2 dps team, the standard scenario is: they kill me, while my teammate kills one of them, I heal my teammate up while I'm in Spirit form, he kills last one as well. Similar with 3v3.
