Some general thing: Whenever you have to decide between Toughness and Vitality for any profession in PvP/WvW, go for that rule: Against Power Damage: Toughness, against Condition Damage: Vitality. The reason is how physical/power damage calculates (see wiki) and the fact, that condis ingore your Toughness/Armor.
Everything everyone said is good info, but this is what I was looking for. I think it's pretty much same for all MMOs but I wanted to be sure. With others I used Vit mostly because it works for both (even if not as well for phys dmg). I also think killing fast is a way of survival because most PvE enemies hit slow and fairly predictable. It's simple math if you can kill them before they have a chance to hit you however many times you can survive, well, you survive. LOL Hit until right before they hit you, block, hit until right before they hit you, dodge, etc.
