Is rev burstty?
It depends on what sort of build you play.
Something like Power Shiro is Thief-esque, where you’re able to hound a target with a good amount of damage/CC, but still have some party support due to Glints boon pulsing.
Something focused on Mallyx is more unique. It can be a hybrid (Mallyx+Shiro) damage dealer with Confusion, Torment, Burns, and physical damage mixed in, or it can be a bit more supportive (Mallyx+Glint). You churn out resistance, strip boons, and apply condition pressure with the above effects.
Overall, you’re tankier than a Thief and more suited to teamfights, but I wouldn’t say that the average Revenant is a point bunker like the common Elementalists are (at the cost of most of their damage, anyway) these days. Jalis and Ventari exist, but most dont use them in the current meta since they’re underwhelming at what they’re supposed to do.
PvEwise, I dont think anything outdamages Elementalist, though Daredevils come close. You do bring an additional 50% boon duration for parties and decent damage+CC for breakbars, though.

Depends if you are looking at pve or pvp. In optimized pve conditions, ele has substantially higher damage. But in pvp they will never be able to both survive and land a respectable percentage of that damage, so in pvp rev does much more damage since it is safer and and easier to land.

If you look for pvp bunker support like an ele you can build with cleric and ventari
Ele is still better with faster burst heals but ventari can out heal for longer time but hardly needed
Also ele can do 1v2 on point versus most class scenarios while rev is lacking versus condi pressure
No…not really mate…..not really.
Revenant got some burst with UA and shiro’s heal and it really makes some people lose their kitten in PvP but after that, there isn’t really much sustainable damage left.
As for PvE, I kinda feel sad as I was considering getting the achievements for upcomming legendary armor and I heard people started discarding revenants out of raids. And still if they wouldn’t, the role of boon duration aura bot doesn’t look appealing for this class.
