Pretty much what I run now, solid choices, I however prefer executioner paired with runes of eagle (+26% damage to targets below 50% hp). And a bit more precision having a mix of zerker/assassin weapon set.

I cannot make a final decision between zerker/valk armor however. While zerker looks very appealing, going full glass in WvW is never a good choice for there are often situations when the extra HP from the valk will be a difference between winning and losing a fight (series of fights), so is the additional precision that zerker gives really a good trade-off?

are you sure it’s not +6% dmg? 26% sounds like a lot

+6% from eagle runes, +20% from executioner trait. 26% in total (unless I’m doing some calculations wrong) and yes it is pretty sweet.
