My thoughts on some of the things that PvX(and the GW community) think about stuff. Most will be short.

This skill is often considered outclassed my MS/DB. The problem with that thinking is that your target is usually dead long before you can make use of the AoE aspect of spamming Death Blossom. When running MS/DB spammers in PvE, the foe you're attacking will usually be dead after your Lead and Offhand(depending on buffs, number of spammers, healers in the group, and casters present) which doesnt allow the large-scale AoE damage from Death Blossom to take effect. Locust's Fury, especially when used by multiple assassins, is actually not as bad as most people think. With the recent buff of SoH, the DPS this skill can dish out is frankly ridiculous. Combined with orders, GDW, etc, mobs will drop extremely quickly, and any powerful healers will be unable to do anything due to a lulzy KD spam. Combine that with charging SY! in roughly 4 seconds with no bonus adrenaline gain, perma 75% block, and the equivalent of ~20 health regen from vigorous spirit and you have a team that can roll through difficult areas by autoattacking =\.

RA
RA is much different from all other forms of PvP. In fact, it's barely even PvP. Because of this fact, what should work in RA isn't always what does. Take Critical Defenses. In the majority of PvP, this is kind of a waste of a skill. However, in RA, this skill is basically lolimmunity to 90% of melee. This principle holds true to many of the other skills that are generally bad in real PvP. PvX also determines that any ranger with half a brain can rupt a 2 sec cast in RA. However, this is pretty fucking far from the truth. See, the rangers in RA don't have half a brain. They don't even have a quarter of a brain. THEY HAVE NO BRAIN WHATSOEVER. You can cast meteor shower against a 2 ranger team in RA, and chances are it will be a successful cast at least 80% of the time.

Ritualists in PvE

DISCLAIMER: Most of this is theorycraft. I take no responsibility for how wrong these thoughts may or may not be, and request that you don't bitch at me for it.
