Help with a WvW build
I don’t think you need any points at all in discipline for a ranged build (the most useful benefits in that line are actually broken), you’d be much better served taking those 25 points and putting 10 in strength for berserker’s power, and 10 in tactics for leg specialist (turns all your cripples into 1 second immobilizes, in this case your rifle #2 skill). The last 5 you can throw into defense. 10/30/20/10/0. Try it and see if you like it. Also, if you are just going to be using rifle as your main, then use sword/warhorn as your offhand set. The sword allows you to leap away from enemies, and the warhorn gives you speed + it will remove snares/immobilizes, so you’ll have a much better chance to get away.
As for stat equipment, that’s up to you. I say for rifle as your main you want to keep your base chance to crit at around 60% (with signet or rage/for great justice this will be around 80ish%).

The sword and warhorn, so a similar build to Taugrim’s Run and Gun?
I use rifle and longbow…
Rifle single target, longbow zerg fests.
10 trait points in Tactics so you can get a 1200 range on all longbow skills.
Only spend adrenaline for longbow burst for huge AoE. Killshot sucks.
Cripple (rifle), immobilize (bow) to help finish off focused down enemies.
Good combo is to fire the burst skill arrow and while it’s in the air, immobilize some unfortunate enemy and let em burn atleast for 3 seconds
