The build works great when nothing is focusing its attention on you. If something is focusing attention on you, you have a million and one ways to push them away, cripple, leap away, etc. A “glass cannon” with an escape route, I suppose?

My problem lies with feeling like nothing else can top the DPS, condition application/removal, and overall group functions this build provides. I don’t mindlessly throw grenades around. I use the Elixir gun and Flamethrower for helping the group out by removing conditions, applying my own, knocking away enemies, etc. The grenades are my main damage, but not my “focus.” I try to keep my group alive more than I’m focused on DPSing, but that’s also why I like grenades because of their mobility and range while dealing heavy damage.

Is there anything I’m missing that’s rather important for this build? Something to enhance on? Something that’s really worthwhile to use?

Is this build for PvE, sPvP, or WvWvW?
Also, your link is bad.

Link isn’t bad, you just have to copy and paste it.
It’s primarily for PvE. I use it similarly in PvP, but slightly different and always changing. It’s honestly horrible in PUG PvP because you can’t be certain someone will have your back.

I do use it in WvW and it works fine. Often enough I can take on two people at once with it due to the amount of control the build has over people. But gear also plays a part in WvW, so maybe I got lucky against underleveled/geared players.
