Guild Wars 2

So i ran the sonic boon shout greatsword build for a bit and i found it too glassy. then I came across Dontains Tanky dps build and thought i could do a hybrid of both of the builds previously mentioned. for PvE, dungeons and fractals though I dont do the as much as i should. and should be atleast decent in WvW, which i dont do really that much.
So the goal is survivability and support via healing shouts, vulnerability via gs, and decent dps via stacking might. link to the trait setup im going —-> http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#mcR9waGax0VVaMoRb
and then on to the stuff i’m not sure at all. Runes i’m thinking of going full runes of soldier for the condition removal on shouts. then the question comes whether I should get pow/vit/toughness gear or knights? same with the trinkets and weapons along with sigils.
so the struggle is finding the sweet spot between crit% to build up dmg and a large healthpool to sustain the damage. or just go for the other :/

any advice is much appreciated

Look at it this way, we already have a high health pool. I prefer toughness > vit anyday. Adding to your health without giving you a way to mitigate the dmg done is an exercise in futility.

Go Soldier if you can afford it. Think about an axe/shield for your second set. You can swap, spam vuln, shield stance/heal and swap back.
