Apologies if someone has already stated the below or if it's already obvious info, but here goes:
I've mained Grace WP since starting out both on live and RoR. It is very hard to play as Grace, and you will be dying often, especially in ORvR. You will start to find more survivability and usefulness when you've invested in Sigmar's Shield and Sigmar's Radiance. Use Divine Assault as your "big single heal" and spam Radiance for groups heals. One of the first abilities you should be opening combat with should be Sigmar's Fist (with the relevant tactic to also increase your's and decrease your opponent's Toughness and Strength.
For RR, invest in STR, Lower chance to be crit, parry and dodge/disrupt. Whatever order you prefer.
However, it's all about positioning and targeting the right enemy. If you're parried/blocked a lot you won't be healing much, and if you're disarmed/knocked down then it's usually bye bye. But many a time I have baited eager destros who were overzealous in their approach to kill me because "ooh, shiny WP, easy kill".
But of course all the advice in the world won't help too much if you're mid 20s and green gear trying to take out 40/80s with full sets. And even if you're the best Grace WP in the world you'll still be close to useless in a siege haha
Melee WP CAN be viable (even in RvR, albeit rarely), but there's a lot of "if's" in that equation. Salvation WP is just viable all round - whatever playstyle/amount of masochism you are willing to put up with! haha
