Toughness for elementalists
Go full knights if u want berserker. Healing power is more important. Do pvt armor and get at least 600 hp

i dont think healing power is effective,
My armor set is already full knights, but i was thinking what accessory should I get, wether i should get Power Prec Toughness, Power Vit toughness, Power vit Con dmg, or power prec crit dmg or power prec condition dmg.
One point of toughness gives you one point of armor.
The damage formula is: Power * weapon damage * skill coefficient / target armor
The more toughness you have, the more each point is worth in terms of overall effective hitpoints and effective healing. In general, adding a little bit of toughness is fairly worthless and you would be better off going with vitality to add survivability.
I find that ~2500-2700 armor (25-30% damage mitigation) is a good spot to be in (valk amulet with zerker jewel, scepter earth 2 and divinity runes in sPvP). More than that and you start sacrificing more damage, healing, condition removal and utility than getting to that point. That’s not a bad thing if your goal is to be a walking brick. 3800 armor (~50% damage mitigation before protection) will certainly let you do that.
