Selfhealing build
Well, It’s warrior we are talking about, so anything with defense line. Warriors have great self heal as long as you have the defense line.
If you want a bunker you are barking up the wrong tree. Warriors Depend on getting off their bursts, and damaging. we have just enough ehaling to keep us alive long enough to win a fight (even 2 or 3v1) but you are never going to be able to just ignore all damage because you just out heal it.
Play agressive, Get those bursts off, build your AH to max stacks, and know when to dodge or use your active defenses and you will be a force to be reckoned with, but don’t try and be a pure bunker.
The only option for pure survival on a warrior is the Celestial Comander. And unless you are a dedicated Comander I don’t suggest it. It’s expensive and you are basically just trying to stay alive so your zerg does not fall apart. Even this build relies on being aggressive and it will never win a 1v1. It will just survive forever when in a zerg. you’ll be one of the last to die which as a commander is what you want.

Disclaimer These are some builds for Open World PVE. As Em said almost anything works as long as you have Defence. These are simply some of the more effective self sufficient builds to play. Group might stacking/ some personal DPS is sacrificed for all rounder traitlines, much similar to a pseudo roaming build.
Generic all rounder build. Works in WvW too with a bit of sigil tweaking. Doesn’t have to be restricted to what you see, just switch out traits and utilities if using differering weapon combinations. The reasoning behind Eternal Champion over Bloody roar in solo is simply for self mightstacking/ stability and reliability over a bit of extra CC and 1.5 second burst increase. However in a group content like dungeons, I’d most likely use bloody roar over it.
Non HOT version

If you’re really having trouble with keeping regen, eat a mango pie or something. I’m assuming you mean an all rounder PVE build. If you want raid/ dungeon build, better off to follow the metabattle ones, especially for raids.
Condition variant:
Slightly less weapon choices but imo it’s basically PVE on easymode. Follow Metabattle version for group content and if you’re somehow having trouble staying alive, switch out one of the non special traits for defence. Again, something like this can be used in WvW too with a few adjustments.

Can you use that first link in casual low level Fractals or do you need to
Drop Berserker, I assumed that if you wanted to
Survive open world and still
Provide utility you would go Strength/Tact/Defense unless you need Berserker to offer utility?
Anything as long as you have Healing Signet equipped. If you ever need more healing just consume a Mango Pie. Really hard to go below 50% healthpool with those 2.
