Help needed on s/s & s/p build for pve

Good morning, fellow mesmers.

After a rather long break ive decided to return to Gw2 and start playing my mesmer again. This descision has mostly been triggered by the LFG tool which made finding a pug a walk in the park.
I wasn’t particularly good to be honest but now im ready to be the best i can be.
My introduction tells you that im into pve and more specifically dungeons.
ive spent the past 2 days grinding the forum and reading all the huge walls of text in the vast amounts of guides available on this forum.

However, even with this abundance of information that is available, i get confused / lost rather quickly.
So far ive gathered that you want sword / sword with sword / pistol for max dps. The guides point towards a phantasm build and I’ve toyed around with that for a bit.
For some reason it’s not satisfying to cast the phantasms and let them do the work, besides most fights are over before they are started. especially on trash.
Then there’s evidence of imba dps pointing in the direction of shatter builds. (yes, i’ve found osicats video’s but he seems to focus on pvp and staffs).
This is where opinions start to diverge. pve, pvp and wvw builds are now chaotically mixed, nobody seems to agree on which weapons to use, which rotation to use is even more unclear.
Long story short, im trying to find a good build where im using swords / pistol which focuses on shatter and I could use some pointers in a rotation.
Help is appreciated, but please, dont point me to the guides that are on the forum. i’ve read them all
