I’d suggesto you to go with berserker armor/weapons and knight trinkets. Once you get good at surviving with your guardian, get ascended berserker trinkets and you are done.
If you want to focus on team WvW, you can go soldier, but you’d be useless in PvE.
Stemare ~ Guardian ~ lv80 ~ Far Shiverpeaks
Ci Assediamo Da Soli [SIGH] ~ Officier
With those priorities, go for a full zerker set and have a look at obal’s hammer build. Cleric and soldier gear are outright bad for dungeons and while knight, as some kind of training wheels for starters, would in principle be appropriate for you, hammer builds have so much defense by their perma-protection that you should not need it.

This isn’t a bad suggestion but I would say to start with knight’s armor and berserker’s trinkets instead, you get more crit damage out of it that way. Weapons still zerker. Of course that’s assuming you don’t want to just go crazy and dive straight into berserker everything, which can be a tough way to learn but is good if you’re up to it.
I play a great and fun build with GS and Staff Building might with staff and running in! Full crit zerker armour but with Healing jewels and alteristic healing trait sets.
Ill get a link up asap. Its fun VERY supportive and throws out some decent enough dps. In a group youll be the talk of the town haha
Knights Gear + Berserker’s Trinkets is the way to start as a DPS Guardian (I am currently in this setup). It is also a lot cheaper than going full Zerker on your first char (~7-8g instead of 15g+). You can start replacing the Knights gear with Zerker gear as you get it (i.e. by running CoF / CoE / Arah / Fractals or just saving up and buying it).
I must say, switching to zerker armor / knight trinkets made me aware alot more of all the dangers around me, I like it alot!
You’ve got a good mindset for dungeoning. Keep it up and you’ll go far. Obal’s sticky is a wealth of information and he has the best dungeon runs in the game to back it up.
Most people are saying Berserkers but that won’t cut it in WvW. I’d suggest knights or soldiers armor of the eagle with soldier earrings and berserker or Valkyrie rings/back/amulet. I have a meditation build I could link when I’m at my computer.
I run a soldier DPS build and can hit for 12k or so without might/stacks. I also have 6 heals, but I’m more gravitated towards WvW instead of dungeons.

He specified dungeons. Although zerker can be fun to roam in wvw.

Negative. He specified both:
… primarily PVE (Dungeons), with an occasional WvW…

Berserker is no problem in the typical PvD zerg, so it should be appropriate for “occasional WvW”. In the worst case, spend 7 silver to switch builds twice. On the other hand, the stuff you suggest is just bad for dungeons.
