It allows you to see exactly what combo’s your prof. is capable of and shows you which abilities to use to achieve them
If it is when other players are around you, it could be one of them granting you quickness. I think mesmers can do that.
I’ve been trying out this build this morning and it is very effective for holding points, especially when there’s terrain to hide behind for regen/kiting (the kited becomes the kiter). I swapped Elixir B out so I can have Elixir R though. Not so much for the stun break but for the self-ress.
As far as pvp is concerned, an alchemy focused engineer with pistol/shield and elixir gun can have some really good durability and staying power. The trick is in the combination of CC, heals and defensive traits. It’s rock paper scissors at the end of the day, but often times I’m able to survive long enough against 2-3 enemy players to drag them away from a point or keep them from capping a point until backup arrives.
And in 1v1 players usually get bored of fighting this against a defensive build like this and run off to some more lucrative endeavor.
This video has some good info about elixir gun use:

Although I generally run a far more defensive build than this, you can tweak it to suit your play style.
