No, engi runs mace. Sorry, got it mixed up. Ele and Ranger new weapon is the hammer.
I don't run sword on engi, so no idea how it works with the offhands.
On ranger I've been playing Soulbeast because it has a mechanic to make the pet go away, which can be useful when I've trying to avoid/escape aggro. Other than that, there's pretty equally viable builds (for general PvE) for base ranger, druid, and soulbeast, so in that respect, the various Ranger specs have been pretty "balanced".
On ele I still play Tempest. Never got into weaver because it felt too complicated/gimmicky.
