Inventory-wise, you'd probably manage the spikes by having a 'spike harness' that acts as the weapon as far as the game is concerned. Graphics-wise, it'd probably only cover the hands, with the rest of the spikes an integral part of the profession's armour whether they're actually using said spikes to fight or not. This way, you don't have the problem of figuring out how the harness is going to mesh with every existing set of armour out there. (I'm trying to imagine a spiked Female Luxon Elementalist or a spiked Female Courtly Mesmer, and it's just looking silly). In order to allow secondary profession to look the part, you'd look to introduce spiked armour sets for the other professions in the same chapter as you introduce this profession.

That said, the primary attribute could be seen as taking into account that primary Gutbusters are better at it due to having the armour spikes all over instead of just on the hands - and any skills that rely on the armour spikes such as the 'jump on and wriggle' thing (If target touched foe is knocked down, target foe takes X damage and is knocked down for an additional 3 seconds. You are knocked down) can be placed in this attribute.

No other class would be able to use spikes it just wouldnt work. thats why i suggested making it a sub-class

A heavy armored Seige unit was usually Cavalry, add this to a mounted knight and you have some originality from Warrior.
