i tried smite cleri a few weeks agro (respecced my 5lx cleri) . good buff spec was way better for soloing .

dunno when smite got nerfed... just sad it was pre 1.80..

the nerf was pre 1.70
and with 1.81 smite got the heal-componente (the damage you make with smite is transfered into PBAE-heal for 100%)
with 1.83 the smiter got spec-smite nuke with 210 value and PBAE-instant root.

so uthgard is right in the bad times for fighting cleric..

immagine the instant PBAE-damage in middle of foe´s/mobs..its like an instant heal every 20 sec for all realm mates around him (the PBAE heal effekt is not group-restricted) if the smiter is in the AT.
