Celestial Engi is probably the most common build in pvp and WvW now. (it should be, its the meta right now for pvp) (i use celestial even for dungeonruns)
Now, the celestial build comes in a few variants.

This is what we call the standard build.
Provides good dps with power and the celestial gear also gives us a decent amount of condition dmg. good survivability. great heal, vigor etc. Everyone hates celestial engi. because we grind everyone to bones. counters could be celestial eles.

This build is a little diffrent where we sacrifice some dps for survivability. protection and more vitality. in theory this works better when you meet other condispecs. like terrormancers
I use elexir S for stomps and to run away in stealth when the preassure gets to high. for more dps and mobility you should switch to elexirgun. it also has a stunbreak in the toolbelt skill.
Clelestial Engi is extremely easy to play.. kite all the time and throw all grenades you have, ofc use blunderbuss and jumpshot when they are avalible. blunderbuss gives more dmg the closer to the target you stand. and a nice bleedstack.
If you choose to go with bombs instead of grenades i would use the second build posted, and swap out grandier for forcefull explotions, DONT take away incendiary powder DONT DONT DONT touch it. burn is powerfull.
Like always we have 100% swiftness. but with diffrent traits here
