The reason the strength sigil is not on the great sword is simply because it’s not needed. On great sword you already generate might on critical hit and with golden fried dumplings you have a chance to generate another stack on each critical hit. With that a bit of boon duration and a consistent moderate to high hit rate you maintain 25 might. So putting a strength sigil on the weapon only lowers dps for no real benefit.

LFG Abuse -> Raid polluted with adverts

The thing is, anet stated that using lfg to sell spots in a group is legal.

Consequently, those LFGs that do not directly sell spots, but only advertise a service in general (by, say, offering a link to a website) should likely be considered an abuse of the LFG system.
in short, any LFG message should be about getting into a group/getting players to a group, with all additional requirements (whether they are gear restrictions or monetary ones) being okay. Any LFGs that aren’t about grouping, but are merely ads are not okay.

The thing is, advertising for a certain boss kill is no different than selling a boss kill, both require setup time. The main difference being that most of the time, boss kills fill quickly with the intent of killing it ASAP, where selling runs can either be ASAP or scheduled for later.
With a lack of a reasonable player selling boards and a lack of guild recruitment systems in game, 1 subset of lfg being used to fill a need is not the worst thing.
The note able issue on NA is that no one wants to start groups simply wanting someone else to lead it.

New Raid-Composition with higher DPS

While a cool concept, just quick looking says that you’ll realistically maintain 22 might since you’ll be at odds with both the chronos and the poison field on ranger. Beyond that your ramp up on might unless I am mistaken is exceeding long if you rely on druids quick drawing warhorn 5.
Losing both warriors from the comp also causes you the issue of making the Rangers pet swap near constantly for break bars by comparison.
And on small hit box elementalists and Rangers are roughly equal with ele having an easier time bursting the boss than a Ranger.
Not to mention bosses like slothsor cleanse conditions with every break bar hurting all condition builds.
