The best ability for the Stone Form Heartrune would be the Brutal Stone Form. This ability allows for an increase in damage absorption by 10%. It can also be activated to explode and cause 200% true damage within a small radius.

Best Grasping Vines Heartrune Ability

For this Heartrune, Brutal Grasping Vines would have to be the best. Not only does it inflict Weaken against your enemies, but it also deals with Rend. This reduces their damage absorption by 20% for five seconds while also reducing stamina regeneration by 50% for five seconds.
