Dual double bless is probably overkill. The woodsmen just aren't good enough to spend the points on. For commanders E9 is certainly worth it and maybe another minor bless. If you're focused on Jarls, regen from Nature is nice. If you're using Skratti werewolves in Shrouds, I'd try E9 maybe S6. Leaves them at 0 encumbrance even quickened. Extra MR always helps thugs.

The nice thing is that both the Earth and Astral are useful paths. The Gygja's already have good nature. You'll have an astral income by the time the pretender breaks free and access to rings is always good.
