Criticism of my Guardian Build
You aren’t going to be doing much damage with only 1400~ power. Get it up to 1800 at least, before consumables.
Pure of Voice is also very weak in terms of condition cleansing, although your Soldier runes to make up for some of that. If cleansing is your goal, you’ll want 20 in Virtues for Absolute Resolution and Master of Consecrations -> Purging Flames. 28 second 3-condition cleansing for all allies in the ring, and 33% condition duration reduction on all future conditions while the ring is active. Absolute Resolution is another 3 conditions removed on Virtue of Resolve. The two of those combined are far better than Pure of Voice in terms of condition removal, and that will open you up to being able to use damage runes, which will improve your DPS considerably.
The main thing holding you back is your points in Valor. Valor is the most “selfish” of all the traitlines, and unless you plan on doing a Meditations build it’s something you’ll want to avoid if you like support.
Personally I’d do something more like this: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUUQNAR8flYgKDXFyvDf4ESODRCBtPAQYPwI4LjA-jQyAoLBZCCERAO5VEN22QR0Y1LYqykqLFk9GFRrGA-e
That’s assuming you want the defensive stats for whatever reason. An extra 300 healing power isn’t going to really do you any good, especially when your weapons are GS/S+t. The traits ensure you get the major Virtue of Justice synergy + Radiance blind improvements that every GS/S user needs. Dropping Valor gives you more flexibility. Keeping Honor keeps your support going. And you won’t hit like a wet noodle.
(Srsly, 1400 power is really bad!)

I completely agree with Foofad. On my guardian (main) I have more critical chance and a bit less critical damage than you. But I surpass 3k attack (1838 power) without stacks or might and my damage still isn’t great.
Your 2 passive condi removals won’t help your allies out and altruistic healing is great, but it covers only few situations (like: what is the size of your group? <5 is wasting the trait.). And, as said, it’s very selfish.
