Engineer PvE | Dungeon Rifle | Damage Meta-rific Dungeoneer (Updated: 6/3/2014)
Table of Contents
Summary
As I no longer run it, I've replaced my FT/EG build with a new bomb kit/grenade kit centric build that I find is more useful in dungeons and fractals.
All the best.

Weapon and Skill Details
Rifle is taken for Jump Shot to help stack vulnerability. Grenade Kit and Bomb Kit are your main two utilities. Use Throw Mine for its blast finisher and the extra vulnerability stacks from its tool belt ability: Mine Field. You may swap out Throw Mine for the Elixir Gun if you need Fumigate or a stunbreaker.
Your elite should always be Supply Crate, and your healing skill in most instances will be Healing Turret for the AoE support and blast finisher.

Trait Details
Most of this is self-explanatory. Take all the damage traits that boost your bombs and grenades in Explosives and Firearms. Infused Precision and Invigorating Speed will help maintain vigor in combat for extra survivability.

Upgrade Item Details
Nourishment: Take any +40% condition duration food in conjunction with Toxic Sharp Stone so that your vulnerability stacks last longer.
Insignia: Full Berserker/Zojja's (ascended); Celestial armor is OK, but make sure your trinkets and weapons aren't.
Rune: Strength runes are ideal given the bomb kit's ability to stack might.
Sigil: Force + Night for maximum DPS. Energy may be used as well if you think you need the extra dodges.
V. Basic Gameplay
Use bombs for stacking might. Use grenades for stacking vulnerability.
Main Skill Rotation
This will be your main DPS rotation for stacking vulnerability. Make sure both hits of Jump Shot touch your target for maximizing vulnerability (3 per hit).
Freeze Grenade and Shrapnel Grenade should be used every time they're up.
Might Stacking Rotation
This rotation will provide 9 stacks of might to your party that lasts 30 seconds. I suggest communicating with your party when dropping your Fire Bombs to help stack might. Their blast finishers will not gain the effects of your Strength runes, but it's better than what only you can provide.
I have a question...
This looks like glass cannon build with 0 toughness so how easy is to survive with this build?
Healing Turret and Bandage Self are both very powerful healing skills, but we also have more condition removal available. We also have better access to Vigor than Warriors do (on kit swap versus Warhorn).
Just be careful with aggro/hate management. Juggernaut already scales you up pretty much to a heavy armor class when wielding the Flamethrower. The additional Toughness from Knight's will make you a very popular target.
Some would argue that you'll end up taking more damage as a result, even though you have better overall survivability.
So I wanted to try out this build but I noticed Rocket Boots in the game now sends you forward instead of back. Is it still okay to use it or should I go for something else?
Useful all around.
Just wondering havent you been thinking about the sigil of strength? (might on crit - to maximize the effect of runes of strength)
Also what cheaper version of of runes would you recommend? (runes of strength 15g a piece! :D )
