Other then healing done these classes get very little info on the score board. A support class should have information on the leader board for Buffs given, damage % given to them for damage modifiers given to team mates. In short I add 10% damage buff to my team, I should have a score that shows how much damage I added for my buffs. I am sure IS could work this out to just a few stats that show how we participated.

Healers and Support class players, please speak out. What ideas do you have on the metrics you would like to see posted.

100% behind this.
Tanks, healers, and supports really do NEED stat collection outside of damage done, healing done, kills, deaths, and assists.
If there is going to be a leaderboard, it should reflect all contributions.

For tanks:

• Incoming damage mitigated
• Damage redirected from friendlies
• Enemy damage reduced due to taunt
• Debuff time applied
• Skill combos
• Strategic CC (CC that affects an enemy within ~5 seconds of their death)
• Friendlies saved (shielding and damage redirection that would have killed a friendly target)
• Critical conflict interrupted by battlefield control abilities (think blocking an attacking force with a wall while you're capping a flag. TOUGH to capture, so this would just be one helluva bonus)
• Time on objective

For healers and supports:

• Bonus damage provided by buffs
• Bonus healing provided by buffs
• Bonus mana regen provided by buffs
• Hot uptime
• Buff uptime
• Skill combos
• Overhealing (the lower the number, the better)
• Friendlies saved (shielding or big heal that arrived within ~1-2 seconds of damage that would have killed a friendly target)
• Strategic CC (CC that affects an enemy within ~5 seconds of their death)

Probably more that could be thought of, but a few of those alone would make the experience far more fun and rewarding.
