Theorycrafting MY burner LB DH
Im looking into burning Guard myself but yet to actually try it, so take this with a big asterix.
From my understanding a full condi guard really needs, Supreme justice from the virtue tree.
I was looking at using the virtue tree instead of Zeal.
I dont think Longbow has the best symbol uptime so the grandmasters in zeal are a bit of a waste.

Virtues are more or less mandatory in any burn based build.
Supreme justice
Permeathing wrath, makes the passive VoJ an aoe. Test a procession of blades with and without this trait on a stack of enemies. You will understand why this is a must to a burn build :-)
Procession of blades (multiple hits means lots of burning)
Purging flames (3 stacks of burning in one skill)
Judges intervention (3stacks of burning in one skill)
Whirling Wrath (multiple hits means lots of burning)
I would go for runes/sigils that boost duration on burning,
Did some small alterations and this build deals 20k of burning from Judges intervention and purging flames alone. With no stacks from the sigils mind you.
Btw Big Game Hunter is very questionable in a burn build since a burn build almost requires that you never use active Virtue of Justice. Its weird but that is how it is.
Now add in that you drop procession of blades and do a whirling wrath to trigger permeathing wrath :-)
