The different builds I am interested in, just not sure what to pick. I don’t care about PVE because any of the builds will be fine with it. I mainly care about WvW and sPvP.

1) Full Condition Damage Trap Build (Using Shortbow/Axe Warhorn or Torch)
Pro: Conditions ignore toughness (?), Traps on low CD, Easy to Kite, High AOE Damage, Good at Defending
Con: Conditions can be removed, low damage compared to others?

2) Full Crit Damage Survivability Build (Shortbow/Longbow)
Pro: Easy 1v1, skills are OP, high damage, vulnerability
Con: Highly dependent on high CD elite skills, crit damage crippled by toughness, mainly single target

3) Full Crit Damage Bleed Build (Shorbow/Axe Warhorn)
Pro: Insane damage/bleed stacking
Con: Mid CD skill dependent, conditions can be removed, needs to flank

4) Full Condition Damage Bleed Build (Shortbow/Axe Warhorn)
Pro: Sustainable damage, Quick kill with Quickening Zypher
Con: Conditions can be removed, somewhat CD dependant, needs to flank

Let me know what your opinions are on the builds, what you chose, and what you think I should choose. Thanks!
