As "main dps" I would also consider Powerful draw to not have to always go balls deep, but that kinda negates expert skirmisher. Considering overall back and forth flows in wb fights, I find using both overall gives the most effect.
If theres a back and forth goin on, one could opt for applying ST pressure and skip Powerful Draw I'd say.
PD (Piercing Defense; I didn't even remember Powerful Draw...) should imo be a fix pick, it might not necessarily push your own damage to its very limits but the dps it adds to your WB as a whole will, in sum, make up for whatever you drop for it, besides LS.
Additionally you decrease the chance of your enemies avoiding crucial debuffs/cc, and given its a tactic it will stack with similar effects from normal abilites - if you were to face a kiting group you could drop a guardbots avoidance close to nil if you coordinate your stuff with members of your WB.
You on your own can reduce a guardbots block chance by 25% with Acid Arrow, if a SL gets his NS off you look at a 65% reduction of (physical) avoidance that will even strip a Chosens parry, which will open the kite group; any group really, up to proper punishment via guarddmg.
Aside from that you almost entirely negate up to 60pts of RR; the parry is 17%, the dodge 18% and the block 10%, if your targets did not invest into avoidance via RR you'll negate all avoidance they potentially gain from their gear alone - alternatively you negate one instance of HtL, well one half of it.
Abbd.: Decreasing your enemies physical avoidance below 33% - which will be the case on pretty much everything thats not a tank - is massive. Especially if you are looking at a big scale engagement with all kinds of debuffs to mainstats floating around, every bit of "true" avoidance you negate is especially a boon to those members of your WB (mdps/tanks/engis/SWs) that still, for whatever reason, struggle to approach mainstat softcap and have to chew through some of the natural avoidance aswell (arguably more relevant to mdps than rdps, however...).
E: Words and stuff.
