This looks really fun, especially in a zerg. Shamlessly stolen and slightly modified from Kripparian.
This is the true glass cannon Ranger build. Absolutely no vitality and only 5 toughness in the skills.
The gear is all Berserker Gear which is extra power, normalized precision and crit damage. Runes of the Scholar 6/6. Sigil of Air on the Berserker Shortbow and Sigil of Fire for the AoE procs with the Berserker Longbow, specifically when using Barrage.
The idea behind this spec is having 2 quickness abilities (haste) on demand. 1 when you switch out your pet, and one from Quickening Zephyr which means you can do massive burst damage, with abilities like Rapid Fire in particular, whenever you choose on top of the already crazy damage you do just from auto attacks with the shortbow.
The Protect Me ability gives you at least some sort of defense to try to run away, but this build is best when with a large group or chasing down people who dare turn their back to you and try to run.
I chose the Entangle Elite because I think it is totally overpowered and can turn the tide of battle when running with melee characters, but Rampage as one would give a larger personal damage bonus.
The pets are used mostly just for buffs and for the Protect Me skill. The Red Moa and Brown Bear are good choices because they have alot of HP and will be able to absorb alot of damage from Protect Me. I keep them on passive in WvWvW.
One awesome thing to do is switch your pet before you try to finish a downed enemy. Instead of 3 seconds, you spike them in 1.5. No one is ever ready for the hasted spike!
