Check out the link in my signature. It has a lengthy written guide as well as videos. The staff is the primary weapon for that build and you have amazing defenses and survivability. The damage, while not as high as a shatter build, is still good. Also, depending on what type of gameplay you plan to do, you could switch around traits/weapons.
Lately ive been experimenting with a condition build in spvp for fun.

Here it is, It has defence through stealth and condition damage with confusion from shatters, scepter and conditions from staff and clones.
I try to shatter all scepter clones for some confusion.
Normally i only shatter, but i just wanted to try out new builds with this patch for fun ^^.

Lyssa’s Grimoire – a guide every Mesmer should read.
google shatter mesmer. you’ll find enough sites with the standard build.
@Toxic, this is a PvP build I posted recently using Staff and GS. Works really well:
