Ok, to try to be less harsh about it, think about it this way – just about every class and build has to make sacrifices here or there to achieve certain performance envelopes. We could probably sit down around the campfire and come up with wishlists for most builds out there that would make them just stupendously superb. Would it be fun? Yeah, probably. Would it be a good balancing job letting us have our cake and eat it too? Probably not.
For what I THINK you ultimately want to have in terms of a build, if you are being straight about it, is definitely workable. You just have to think your build fully through and accept that certain things might not be as strong as you want them to be – but that the middle ground IS there.

ITT: OP runs pretty much a berserker Guardian build and then cries about melting in WvW. Really.
Not to call you (the OP) out too harshly on this, but most players are going to melt when they’re caught on the back foot in WvW with those types of builds. My recommendation – learn how to actually play a Guardian by experimenting with builds and gear setups. Once you’ve learned the class and how to play, if you still feel that it deserves more HP, then revisit this topic.
Introduce a weekly matchup victor’s reward chest of Laurels, but have the winner be determined by ratings change for the week. So, just winning the PPT coverage war doesn’t necessarily translate into a match victory, rather performance versus expected value will be the yardstick.
For those that think this will encourage total domination QQfests, it’s a bit naive to think that the brainless piling on wouldn’t happen anyways. This way, those getting dominated actually will have incentive to keep trying.
Since day one I was protesting the idea of map completion being tied to WvW. You don’t have to complete PvP areas to get map completion, you don’t even have to complete dungeon areas to get map completion… so why WvW?
Honestly it’d make more sense if you had to complete the points of interests in each dungeon instead of the WvW maps, WvW is a player versus player competitive environment for players who enjoy that kind of thing, if you’re a PvE player you’re forced to PvP to get your map completion.
How’s this then: for a Gift of Exploration, WvW players (those who have WvW map completion and a prerequisite amount of WXP) should not be required to complete a single PVE map.
Engaging Confusion Mesmers now follows a pretty simple action flowchart now: See Confusion Mesmer, Laugh, power through and ignore the Confusion, collect loot bag.
It has the feel of sPvp now in that Confusion is a condition you can completely ignore.
