should I give up on doing damage?

I have a lvl 80 warrior, just got to 80 on my guardian.

Now, I was trying to find a build like my warrior (shout build that helps support my team but also does damage, because for most content, you really don’t need that much healing), I went with an AH build (0/10/30/30/0).

After some confusion I ended up gearing like my warrior lol, knights armor, zerker trinks, the hell with vit right? i use a gs on my warrior but have a hammer on my guard (superior sigil of blood on weapons due to high crit %).

stats:
Power: 1935
49% crit, 83 damage
Armor: 2771
Health: 13945, 300 healing power

other than my health, these are pretty solid stats, but I do like no damage. hammer is great for hitting a lot of enemies but in CoF exp a good MB crit is like 3200 dmg. even adding in my auto attacks and tick dmg to the enemy its nothing compared to the 17k+ dmg I can do with one hundred blades with my warrior and with max might stacks and vulnerability stacks on my target, 3k dmg with my last auto attack. (most of those stacks provided by myself btw)

so my big question, should i bother putting any emphasis on dmg at all? and if i go more tank, how would i support my team better? since healing power tends to be a waste. is AH not as good of a build as i think it is? cause it makes a lot of sense to me. in dungeons i tend to be fine, i die sometimes when overwhelmed, and i do have a hard time face-tanking bosses when i dont have melee next to me. but when i have a full melee group, i can face-tank nearly anything cause i can heal when i put boons on them. im sure an omnomberry pie would make me invincible but, id rather not spend 5s every 30 min!

sorry for the long post, i just feel like im missing something, with how im built on both characters my warrior seems to have a much better dmg to support ratio. i enjoy the mechanics of my guardian, but i still want to be effective!
