A:
For PvE:
All you need is:
around 2500-2600 armour and no more! If your main weapon is the LB then you can go for a bit less (say 2400) if you prefer the mace aim for 2700 even 2800 since your mace heal can keep you up.
HP: this is tricky. I’m absolutely confident with my 14k HP but your mileage may vary. This also depends on the traits-utilities. If you have traited meditations next to the traps you are fine. If you use shouts you might need a few thousands more.
Every other stat points go for damage! We have weak scaling with healing power (excluding a few like dodgeroll-heal).
So basically you need: soldiers, knights, and berserkers.
In PvP it’s a different story: try marauder (power-precision-ferocity-vitality).
If you feel this weak (i did Anno Domini…) try Barbarian! Toughness is a wasted stat (IMHO) on any guardian if not bunker!
You can aim for something like this:

it is possible, but for pve, wvw, for pvp u need to take medi and shouts traited to spam the blocks and dodges, since u will have low health and damage builds will get u easilly if u bork up a well timed block to roll.
Also bunker guard leeches to much of the party (IMO) u better get other class that does not scrifices to much, dont bother with heavy armor damage reducing it is just arround 7%-10% from light armor, thus other classes migh have better tools to be beefy w/o leeching and draggin a bit the party.

You could try something like this Mace/LB bruiser as a starting point. I tried to keep it cheap. You’ve got good damage and enough defensive stats plus healing sources to be able to tank for allies.
In pvp you could try something similar Mace/LB bunker. You can become extremely resilient against conditions. Replace the Soldiers amulet with Wanderers to get some delicious boon duration. Depending on other needs, Cleric or Crusader amulet might still be better. Staff might still be a better option over LB. Also consider changing Trooper runes with Mercy or any of the Healing Power runes as needed. Zeal might also be replaced with Valor for more traditional bunkeriness. There’s a lot of options with the pvp build.
