Converting T5 to T6 mats, is it worth it?

I’ve been away from the game for a while but now I’ve come back and I’m resuming my quest for a legendary. For example for the bones the mystic forge recipe seems to go:

50 T5 bones
1 T6 bone
5 T6 dusts (which is another legendary requirement)
5 philosopher’s stones

It says the output would be 5 – 12 T6 bones. Is this worth it? It seems like buying/farming the other materials needed, especially the T6 dusts, would make this not so ideal. I haven’t done the math for the cost of everything on my server, but is this generally recommended when going for a legendary?

How much of a problem would this be? I started as a thief and ended up dropping it for a mesmer, but my thief has much more of the map completed than the mesmer. The mesmer on the other hand has the professions I need leveled completely already, and a lot more karma. I’ve been trying to get 100% world completion on the thief while playing the mesmer and gathering the rest of the materials I need. Is this viable or am I going to run in to some issues doing it this way?

Thank you sir. Any recommendations on what to switch to then? I was planning on going for a 20/20/0/0/30 build with a focus on keepaway/shattering. I think my build can stay the same for the most part, but what should I do with those extra point now?

I’m playing my mesmer with GS/staff, so I’m usually trying to keep my distance from enemies. Is causing the shatter effect on myself an effective thing to do with this play style? I’m assuming I’ll need to be close to the enemy like my illusions in order for it to work.

What exactly does this do? It sounds like you gain 5% damage on AFK or immobile foes, but that seems like a strange buff, especially being so far into the domination tree. Is this correct or am I wrong? If it is correct, is it more useful than it sounds?

Thank you SiNoS and LithePanther. I should have mentioned that I pretty much exclusively play PvE. Perhaps one day I’ll get into PvP but for now its all PvE for me. How much of a struggle am I looking at here?

I played a warlock in WoW and I really liked that style. I decided to try a thief in GW2 and while I don’t dislike it, it just isn’t really suiting me. Any suggestions?

Camera up/down slider?

Is it possible to add this? There is already one for left and right but I would like to have an option to move the camera up. It is hard to get a good viewing angle sometimes. Its like you have to choose between staring directly into your character’s back or the ground.
