Il give some feedback on the second build, because thats the build i am going for at the moment.
Crit/Boon Build
Weapon Set:
First of al the weapon choice of Sword+Shield: If you really want to go for Crittical strikes it is a much beter choice to go with Sword and Torch. Cleansins Flames on the torch hits allot of times in a short period, utilitzing the crit chance better and thus buffing the party more. The torch also supports the minor trait Radiant Power beter (doing more damage to enemys with conditions), because the torch can burn enemys.
Traits:
The traits mostly make sence, except that you went into Valor. Valor is mostly for survival, yes it does give you more crit damage but it does not give any substantial boons. I would suggest that instead of going Valor that you should go for Virtues.
20 points into Virtues gives a nice set of extra boons (party wide), more incentive to use your virtues (the reset of Virtue on Justice when an enemy is killed is more usefull now aswel). And by traiting Absolute Resolution (removes boons on Virtue of Resolve) you are given more survivability against conditions.
I feel that you where still trying to be a defensive Guardian in this build, which imho doesnt do the build justice. If you want to go more defensive in a certain fight, dont trait for it but switch up you utilitys. This way you can still give support/control in a fight if needed without sacrificing usefull trait combinations.
This is the build i would be going for, for a good Crit/Boon build.

Note: utilitys are mostly preference and can be switched to fit the fight beter.
