I haven't actually given up on Ben. I've been thinking about Jacob's touch and what it means. The show wouldn't have highlighted this aspect of the season five finale if it wasn't important, which makes me think Jacob's touch of Ben before he died has some significance.
The touch doesn't necessarily impart powers, although it did in the case of Locke, as it brought him back to life. In this regard, i think it is possible the touch enhanced Jack's ability to save lives. As far as the others, I'm at a loss, except maybe for Sun and Jin, who have a love bond that allows them to overcome how awful they are to each other.
Anyway, Jacob's touch could just be a way of signifying that Ben is still important. All the other people he touched in season five survived the blast. You'll not that Juliet's season five flashback didn't have Jacob in it and she ultimately died in the endeavor. Miles is the exception to this rule, obviously, so just ignore his presence.
We still need to find out about Annie and there is an episode titled Dr. Ben Linus, so I think we'll at least find out more about Ben.
But like I said, let's not count out Ben until he has breathed his last breath. Widmore was at a pretty low point when he got kicked off the island, but he rebounded and i think Ben can do.
