Thief is the only class with out a “Burn” condition. Lets replace the Ice skale venom with Burn skale venom. That would be a lot better. Or change P/X #2 skill to apply burning.

All classes need not be the same.
That being said, thieves could use some better access to conditions. It doesn’t have to be burn specifically, but without good access to at least 2 damaging conditions (we already have bleed , its got to be torment, confusion, or burn – also note, poison is primarily a utility condition) and some cover conditions, condi thief will always be a kittenty support spec at best.
People seem infatuated with P/D and D/D DB builds (forWvW I guess? I have no idea) but they’re rather weak in PvP – they’ve probably seen more effectiveness in the current meta, because people are overwhelmed by all the conditions other classes are spamming on them far more effectively, but that doesn’t mean thief has any real, effective condition based builds.
The long awaited venom rework would probably help solidify a good rotation for a Condi thief to be effective enough to run on its own merit, rather than a “helper” in the current meta.

No. Enough condition meta.

No. Enough condition meta.
That’s a silly opinion to have – classes should have a condition option (ANet obviously designed condition options for all the classes). Conditions need to be toned down, yes, but even pre-condition meta, thief condition options were laughable.
Conditions should (and hopefully will) be reigned in, but thief should have the option to run an effective condi spec in PvP.
