Engineer PvE
Personally, I use grenades build. 30/25/0/5/10, or I used to use 30/30/0/10/0. Healing Turret, any 2 utilities, whatever fits best for you, and grenade kit, Supply Crate, with p/p.
Dont know which gear is better though: poewr/prec/crit or power/prec/cond
It all comes to your play style and build but engineers definitely have the potential to be really good in PVE particularly in dungeons. There are many skills that provide CC, and conditions which I think are key supports in dungeons. We also have many other ways to provide heals and great dps. The more I play engineers, the more I realise we still have tricks in our toolbox to pull out.
I tried the new updated ac path 3 dungeon which everyone was saying was difficult, at the end, I was tanking the boss with a lvl35 elementalist at the back (three people died in the beginning)- I didn’t find it difficult at all.
Another thing which makes us really good, is being able to have perma-swiftness, I can’t think about playing without it- so good for dungeon runs and you can always trait to have perma vigor as well to provide more dodge.

Not to pull the “screenshot or it didn’t happen” card, but I’m totally pulling the screenshot or it didn’t happen card.
OP, for PvE:
Go Grenade/Bomb Kit + elixir of choice for raw damage.
Go P/P HGH for support/condition spec.
Go Flamethrower/Elixir Gun for a happy medium of the two.
For WvW/sPvP:
Go Tool Kit + Elixir S + Elixir C with pistol. Spam Static Shot and Prybar and watch people kill themselves.
