It definitely sounds like the game just doesn’t like something about your setup. Hopefully it’s software related since hardware is harder to fix and more expensive.
Out of curiosity though I would try the game on another computer if possible. Maybe a friends computer. Just use it long enough to see if you get the same problem. If it works then that confirms it’s not account related. Use the alternate computer in it’s original location and at your location. If it works at one but not the other, then that indicates an infrastructure problem (networking related).
After that though, depending on how badly you want to play, try a complete nuke of your system. I do this yearly just to get all the garbage off my system. Then again I have the technical knowledge to easily do this. It’s a big task for someone not familiar with the process.
After the nuke I would install the following,
Latest BIOS updates.
Fully patched OS with latest drivers (no betas)
Try the game with a fairly vanilla install. Don’t install anything that is not required to run the game.
If it still doesn’t work then identifying the incompatibility becomes way more difficult and requires the technical expertise of someone who can get more creative with the troubleshooting. I’m talking about trying various hardware swaps, OS loads, driver versions, etc.
On the other hand, if the vanilla install works, then start installing all the extra stuff like virus protection. Test the game after each install. Maybe you’ll find the culprit that the client doesn’t like.
It can be a monumental task and the decision is yours to make. Good luck.

I had similar fluctuations on my tri-fire setup and the latest CAP stabilized performance for me.
I remember BF3 and D3 having graphics performance issues post release and my fix was also CAP and Driver updates. I’m sure there were client updates as well but the CAP and Drivers offered the most noticeable improvements.
Attention AMD users: 12.8 CAP 2 released - improves guild wars 2 performance.

I have a tri-fire setup (2×6950, 1×6970) and I can confirm that I saw an improvement in performance with this CAP at 2560×1600. This was mostly PVE, centaur events in the highlands and running around Lions Arch. I did not experience any huge FPS drops that would cause lag like issues and using the map did not cause any drops. Overall I would say the CAP made my graphics a lot more stable.
GW2 graphics settings were set at maximum.
