I think you should play a Sentinel. Sounds like they're more your speed. -
Make every activation of Opportunity include both Offensive and Defensive buffs. Make Opportunity a Team buff, centered on the Sentinel, that affects up to 30 allies, but will not be cast on targets that already have a Sentinel's Opportunity buff on them, so multiple Sentinels could cover an entire League. THAT would vastly increase their team utility. I doubt I'd have a complaint about their personal damage if it worked like that. But I don't think of them as hybrid damage/support characters, I think of them as primary damage dealers, so that might not be the way to go.

You're not putting words in my mouth. That is EXACTLY the issue. Other ATs with damage primary either do a lot more damage (scrappers, stalkers, blasters, while levelling, I am happy to concede I don't know jack about Sentinel performance at 50), have aoe taunts (brutes, kheldians), or have significantly superior support powers (corruptors, masterminds, arachnos). But I'm happy with the concept of a ranged damage dealer that has armor and a small but not worthless support tool. The balance just feels off a bit, while levelling at least.

I haven't done that, so... My statements about my sentinels performance have been about levelling. I don't have a lvl 50 Sentinel. In the mid 30s my Sentinel has most of her primary attacks, slotted like any other damage dealer, 1 acc, 3 dmg, maybe 1 end or rcg depending. She has no survivability issues worth complaining about. If that's a bad build, in the mid 30s, then that is a problem with the AT. I shouldn't have to build vastly differently from any other damage dealer AT THAT LEVEL. Sure at 50 maybe I need to do different things with APPs and Procs and such, I'm open to that. But I'm talking about levelling. Procs and APPs cannot be necessary for fine performance while levelling.

You know what, that's totally unnecessary. I haven't been rude, simply incredulous at statements that do not reflect what I have seen. Sorry if it came across as arrogant, but I don't think I have spoken with any more authority than anyone else here. Certainly I am not the only person, either in game or here in the forums, to feel that Sentinels need to do more damage.

It is true that some part of my argument is not based on numbers but on "feel". I frequently team with a couple of RL friends. Recently I did that with me on a Water/Regen Sentinel and my friends on a Defender and a Controller. It really felt like fights were not going fast enough, compared to when I played my Scrapper with the same team. Not that people were dying as a result, but simply that the contribution of my Sentinel was less than that of my Scrapper. EDIT: BTW This was in the mid 30s, not level 50, but my attacks are heavily slotted. Sure, things could be improved with procs, but that shouldn't be the baseline for performance.

I don't have any issue with someone else wanting to skip travel powers. But I wouldn't skip them myself because they are one of the most fun parts of the game for me. I would not listen to the build advice of someone who insisted I was gimping myself by spending a power pick on a travel power, not that anyone here has said such a thing.
