Any ways to make a burning build tankier?

For the third utility you can grab contemplation of purity, purging flames, signet of wrath or stand your ground depending on what allies you have & what enemies your facing.
It’s more or less as survivable as the meditation standard build & while it does not have as much up front burst the conditions will keep ticking even while your being kited.
The poison on weapon swap is also quite nice for reducing enemy healing.
Over all no guardian condition build will do anywhere as much damage as some of the other condition using specs out there, (cause all guardian really has is burns unless they use sigils which tends to be a real tough choice) but you do have a bit more survivability then the majority of them (condi spec shout heal warrior being the obvious contender & condi mesmer being debatable since it can simply avoid much of the damage)

As for the problem of going down quickly, your going to get that with allot of guardian specs because the majority of your survivability is tied to your CD’s which are moderate-long in CD and also make up much of your anti condition kitten nal & or utility.
The only exception being specs with altruistic healing & allot of boons
