Recover Guard is by far my most usefull. Any attack dealing with balance will usually set up for a good win unless you're outnumbered heavily.

Viscous Counter(I think every fighting style has a prep like this: lots of balance Damage, lots of initiative gain)
Recover Guard(look ma, a heal)
Gambit (crowd control, woot woot)
Compound Riposte (ctrl click, indeed)
Advance (10 balance finisher? Indeed!)
