So when it comes down, warrior and guardian are good at dealing damage and survive. Its just the difference how they do it?

 

My only problem is that "Symbol of Wrath" seems so useless in PvP...

Warriors have better defense and offense than Guardians. Just Guardians provide their group much better in support and buffs, and burns for field AoE.

My one hander sword and tourch guardian owns the crap out of everything.

 

Both pve and pvp..

One of my favorite combos for Gaurdian.

Sword+Torch and swap to Scepter+Shield is grrrrrreat for PvP and you can just MASH stuff in PvE.

I like Mace+Shield/Hammer for tanking in PvE dungeons.

or I will use Mace+Shield/Staff to tank PvE dungeons.

creating a light field for people to use in case you lack condition removal.   there is a trait in the vitality tree that allows you to make your symbol larger, and another one that heals your allies.  It really depends on your play style.

*Spoiler*

As for the differences in how guardians differ from warriors, support wise, their biggest aspect are the Conscreations.   Today I ran the storymode for the Sorrows Embrace where we had only 4 people because one decided to afk, and to be honest, one of the mini boss fights would have been impossible with a warrior as a pose to a Guardian.  Wall of Reflection and Sanctuary can easiliy turn a difficult boss fight into a much more managable one.  Anyone who's run the story mode for SE would know that the Flame Golem fight is godly annoying.  I managed to pull through with my group using Wall of Reflection which can reflect those bolts back at the boss, while Sanctuary+SoA absorbs the flames preventing flame patches on the ground.   

Mechanically speaking, Guardians have some really fight turning abilities that require other players in their group/team to know what their abilites do to make the most out of them, as a pose to Warriors, where most of the support mechanics are more easily recognized (banner/shout warriors).
