Basics:

Hurricane, crit surge
Bound Armaments both bars

Most then go DW with a flurry morph and a twin slashes morph and often bow with injection and endless hail.

Finish off with rearming trap and caltrops or vigour.

Ultimates are usually dbos and flex (ww, overload, negate).

Backbar bow +long buffs.
Front bar dw + short buffs.

Naturally there are lots of other ways, but that is a pretty standard dot setup to synergise with surge and implosion.

For pve, this is pretty standard. Get steel tornado on there, back-bar overload and put caltrops/Rearming trap there, swap tornado for trap on single target boss fights. Also have dark deal on overload bar for between fights.

For pvp though, 2 handed and bow is most people's preference. Mobility, range, burst heal, gap closer, burst damage and an execute. You have everything.

Streak, reverse slice, rally, Dizzying swing, crit rush/Stampede, dawnbreaker of smiting

Shuffle, dark deal, vigor, poison injection, hurricane, negate.

That's how I run it. Some use overload on back bar with trap, dark deal, caltrops etc, but negate changes fights, it really does. Others drop poison injection and put surge there for some additional healing.

Of course, you can go any combo of sword and board, dual wield, 2h and bow because you get weapon damage buff from surge. You do lack a real burst heal from rally then though if you don't run 2h. Harder to play, but viable.
