Just hit 80 WvW gear
In my opinion this is a fairly good burst build for roaming that also grants some survival capability.

No offense, but I don’t think that’s a very good build. It’s effective at killing bad players, people who aren’t paying attentions and people who get tired of fighting you. It’s unfavored against most serious roamers/pvpers because it’s predictable as hell and doesn’t put a lot of pressure(lack of poison on steal for example, is really crucial). It was a bit better pre-ferocity, but right now this build is outdated, IMO. You may be able to kill zerker bearbow rangers and think “oh wow this has so much burst” but the main way to win with this build is by dragging out fights and resetting until the other player makes a mistake or has no cooldowns, I wouldn’t recommend it.
d/d in general is a bit of a bad spec right now, as it does almost nothing better than d/p except straight up one shot burst damage.

Are there better builds than this one? Yes
Would I recommend more bursty builds to a new player? No. Especially since he said he feels like an easy target.
Majority of wvw thieves put 6pts in SA even now.

I’d have to agree here…Get rid of the 2 in acro and put it to mug. Helps out MUCH more that way.
Also, change the runes, the speed boost may be nice in wvw but the stats aren’t that good. If you want speed and damage, I’d go for pack.
Get some cavalier armor in there too.
Here’s my build:
