Just bring a blocking stance if you're gonna trap. Escape is my elite.
And setting up a trap only takes 2 seconds. Have the warrior hold aggro, sneak in, and BAM you got multiple enemies poisoned, bleeding, crippled, blind, dazed, knocked down, or burning. I bring 4 traps. Laying one down correctly spreads conditions faster than Apply+auto attack. A good tactic to note down is to set all of the traps in one spot only if it's a boss, there are no other foes around, or if you're gonna pull. One of the worst feelings a player can get is to feel useless when you're needed. Just be smart about knowing where and when to set them.
I trap with Henchies in NM PvE for quests and the AI is too stupid to notice a ranger setting up a trap next to them. By the time they notice, i'm out of there, and i get to see the pretty animations of a job well done.
All you gotta do is wait in the back, then strike at the ideal moment, much like an assassin.
