A:

It would help if you post more information about what you (want to) use. For example how many traits in which tree and what playstyle you (want to) use (shatter, phantasm, mantra, …).

Asuming you want to use phantasms AND have Sharper Images (even if you don’t have any condition damage) I would say phantasmal fury (especially if you use pistol or focus as offhand)

i mostly use sword/focus… switch to sword/pistol if i need ranged phantasms and sword/sword for fun/wvw

it seems like id be best switching them around; blade training with s/s, phantasmal fury with s/f/p then

It depends on the situation.

Blade training is more defensive and good in 1v1 or if you are outnumbered.
I would choose fury for pve or mass pvp when u try to blow up things from range. Like summon 1 phantasm let it attack create 2 clones and shatter.
