Couple of Thief Questions
Usually when asking such broad questions a list of guides does more than enough than us making wall of texts about it anyways:

tl;dr Thief fits in a niche in all 3 types of gameplay. In WvW we’re great at scouting and small team play. In PvE we maintain aoe blinds and stealths and can spam blast finishers which makes fights easier and runs faster. I don’t PvP so I can’t tl;dr anything there.
Going from warrior to thief is probably a good idea. Warrior can probably be agreed on that it’s great in many areas but boring to play with. Thief offers the intangible gratification of stalking after your enemies and evading and mindtripping foes a bit.

Well this is by far the best backstab build.
If you like D/P n stead just use D/P over D/D (or D/D+D/P, doesnt matter.) then youve got these Sw/P builds becoming more and more popular. Then theres S/D which a few people still use after the nerfs. And the very defensive P/D condi build with 30 trickery, Scorpion wire, and perplexity runes.
That pretty much sums up thief diversity in a nutshell.
