Unfortunately, I don;t believe that exists. This link should have near the bottom a chart with all level triple attribute possibilities, the one thing is lacks is that WvW Invader's armor is Soldier's as well. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Item_nomenclature
There's Power/Toughness/Vitality gear, which you can get from some dungeons or from some Karma Vendors in Orr. I know it's not exactly what you were asking for but it would contribute to survival. I've got 4 pieces of Knight's gear and was planning on getting 2 Power/Tough/Vit pieces but tell the truth, I'm starting to think my survivability is pretty good, and I love seeing mobs die quickly to my critical hits, so I'm still waffling over what to do.
For DPS I recommend mixing Berserker with Valkyrie.
Oddly the only armor that has precision an vitality together is Magi's which has Healing Power as its main stat. I think they really didn't want Power/Prec/Vit because it would literally be tailor made for Thieves because vitality is much more useful than toughness for them.
I searched high and low for that set, and unfortunately it doesn't exist. Whats your playstyle? WvW or PvE? For WvW: Ive lost faith in stacking vitality on my warrior. This is purely from a WvW perspective though. I have the full 42K Karma set (Pow/Vit/Tough) which iirc gives +315 vitality. That adds 3150hp to approx 20000hp which is only a 15% gain. I found that this extra 15% didn't make a whole hairy of a lot of difference when it came to "Oh Crap" situations. Also, with that gear set you will lose out on precision which cuts your crit% big time. The lost precision made for a noticeable loss in DPS in my WvW tests, even with Berserker jewelry to try and make up for it. Yes you'll have a lot of power to hit hard and might be able to outlast a lot of 1v1 opponents, but your damage output may not be fast enough to take down an enemy before they have friends come in and mow you down. Ive learnt the hard way (three different sets of exotic gear) that Knights is the way to go for a melee warrior. Berserker is awful squishy because it lacks toughness and might work best for a ranged warrior or GS burst warrior. Karma gear is lacking DPS and might be best for a tank in dungeons. Knights gear is well balanced because it has Precision for added DPS AND toughness for added armor and from my findings is the best for WvW. With the added precision you should be able to take down an opponent before his friends come in to help him. TL:DR Precision/Toughness > Vitality/Toughness on a WvW Warrior. The addition in health doesnt make up for the loss of damage output. If you have full Knights and still having difficulties, you might want to reconsider your runes/sigils.
I like valkyrie, massive crits while you still have very high damage from power and a lot of survivability. Mixing the valkyrie set with a skill or trait that increase your chance of crit can make that really powerful. (I crit up to 6k, depending on the level of the opponent).
On my guardian atm i`m running 3 pieces of exotic knight armor and 3 pieces of beserker armor , with beryl jewelry of the valk , and slotting emerald orbs atm but final will be 3 runes of divinty and 3 emerald orbs . traited right hand for 15 % extra crit , sigil of perception on wep and sigil of accuracy on offhand .
