Every profession will feel like a glass cannon if you choose just power and crit in every item and trait. If you can’t evade well enough then take some defensive stuff.
Try other weapons maybe. If you’re having trouble with more than 1 enemy then the problem lies somewhere else, not the profession.
I have no trouble whatsoever underwater, in fact I feel more powerful than on the ground (using staff up there) thanks to the water skill bursts (torpedo up close, wall + trident charge ftw). Can take a veteran with a few bouncers no problem, just learn to kite and use all of the attunements. Bubble and anchor for control, chains and wall for slows, Every attunement has something good. If you kite them in a circle you can take large groups down.
