The idea is simple.

sPvP is based all around fighting / mechanics / timing and strategy (/tactics).
WvW is based all around mobility, because if you are at 20% HP and you happen to have better movement – you just so happen to reset the fight every single time.

And you logically build around this fact.

In sPvP there’s nothing like having better stats, having better food, catching people off-guard and naturally, mobility does not win you the game (because if you failed to win the point – the objective will stay in enemy’s hand – loosing you the game)… Everyone is equal there, whether anyone likes it or not. Dueling and fighting experience is all that matters.
The strategy around objectives is a bigger deal, but I believe that’s not what you have the problem with.

If you want a help with builds, this is the site you want to look at:
http://metabattle.com/wiki/MetaBattle_Wiki
from this, builds that you might try are:
http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Ranger_-_Condition_Survival or
http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Ranger_-_Carrion_Survival
Me suggesting the Carrion.

I hope I was of any help.
