-------------------- UPDATE --------------------
After playing a while, I have tweaked it to this version:
http://intothemists....54;1H7W3H7W35BH
Reason being that I wanted fast hands to be able to switch back and forth easier. I also now have intelligence on axe so regardless of fury or even the missing 3% crit chance on this build, I will for sure get that eviscerate if used in the first 3 hits. I also like that the fury, precision, and ferocity are AoE with the banner.
The new build that I linked there ends with stats like:
3,218 Power (2,193 unbuffed)
97% Crit Chance (Fury and Banner included; 69% unbuffed)
204% Crit Damage
30% Boon Duration (75% Might Duration)

Weapon and Skill Details
Can try Axe/Mace instead, lose the block, but keep the interrupt. Allows for Dual Wielding trait in Strength and New XIII in Arms. I would not use this, because that sustained block has saved my life too many times.
Can try Rifle instead of Axe/Shield for Killshot. Swap Opportunist to Crack Shot in Arms for piercing. http://intothemists....0R;1H7W3H7W35BC I did not like this version.
Can use Longbow with Greatsword. I would prefer to move 2 points out of Arms and into Discipline for fast hands then so you can upkeep full might with greatsword better. I don't like the lack of a stun and the fact that it lacks the burst of eviscerate, but it is probably the best ranged option.
---------------
Utilities I'm just goofing with. Healing Signet and Signet of Rage are main. Rest you can do whatever. Each signet does give like 5-6% crit chance though, which does directly play into Forceful Greatsword --> Phalanx Strength.
I would recommend dropping stability or full condition clear for discipline banner depending on the party make-up. I usually swap dolyak which makes being stunlocked to oblivion quite possible, but the condition spam is more dangerous in my opinion.

Trait Details
You already get a SICK amount of might. It's OP how much you get in a team fight. Can try a lot of variations.
Changeable ideas:
04460 -- Get cleansing Ire in defense to help with conditions and to buff healing signet with second minor trait.
04064 -- Get faster weapon swaps and do more damage to your target based on the number of boons they have or take another cool trait in there. This is the version I use now. http://intothemists....54;1H7W3H7W35BH

Stat and Effect Details
Use axe 3 or gs 4 to cripple, which traited causes immob, which traited gives you 13 seconds of fury (10s cooldown). Now you have like 94% crit chance. So use greatsword 2 and 3 in a crowd for 25 might.

With fast hands I would recommend switching the Axe/Shield to Sigils of Intelligence and Force.
V. Basic Gameplay
Don't 1v1. You can help a friend kill a person, but don't 1v1. You can get away with it if you're skilled, but you're definitely no match for most builds.
Instead you shine in ridiculously buffing everyone's damage with 25 might and Empower allies for a potential 1,025 extra power to your allies.
Use GS 3 and 5 under swiftness to get away. Burn your signets in such a situation. Chances are it'll take a minute to find your new party member that you're helping.
Eviscerate can be deadly, but it's very easily telegraphed. Use a cripple/immob, wait for them to waste a dodge, stun them, etc before trying to use it. Or use it on an unsuspecting player. Really dents their health pool unless they are super bunk.
