Hello everyone!

I now play my third Guardian.

This time I want to play him more DPS. The way of playing with the one-handed sword I like (at leveling) very . Are there any good builds for dungeons that I can take? I like Greatsword too, but i want to try an other build this time.

You could try something like this
http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/guardian/?3.0|c.1g.h2.e.1g.h1|0.0.0.0.0.0|1n.71g.1n.71g.1n.71h.1n.71h.1n.b1g.1n.b1g|1g.67.1g.67.1g.67.1g.67.1g.67.1g.67|a2.u6ab.0.k28.a6|0.0|v.11.17.16.1i|e
You have good DPS via Fiery Wrath, Radiant Power, Blind Exposure (F1 Spam) and the high crit rate via Right hand strength.
You have good support for dungeons via your shouts (superior aria) and group might (empowering might).
With your shield equipped you have 3 sources of group protection, shield 4, Hold the line and virtue of courage. Retreat and virtue of courage grant aegis for your group and can save your group if timed right. Wall of reflection is a great skill and with master of consecretions readily available, can be swapped for another shout if not needed.
For runes I take 2 superior monk, 2 superior water and 2 major monk for additional boon duration – a total of 50%.
When your familiar with dodging and survival you can swap your knights armor for berzerker for more damage.
As secondary weapon set I use GS, staff or scepter/focus as needed.
I have a lot of fun and success playing this way. A lot more DPS than the AH hammer / gs build I was running before and still a good offensive and defensive group support. And of course a bit more challenging in terms of survival than AH builds.

I use a similar build but I stick to a 10/30/0/25/5. This gives an extra 10% damage with low endurance. Also gives you some versatility as you can throw on a 2h if you want. I’ll run Torch or Shield depending on the group. With VoJ and everyone hitting the target you should have ample burning so Shield offers a few good tools. If you cant maintain burning then throw on Torch. I generally use Scepter/Focus as a secondary set.
