Instead of Choking Gas and Incendiary Arrows, I would go with Practiced Stance and Choking Gas if you simply want spammable interupts. You won't do as much damage, but you'll interupt everything nearby your target as well. This is admittedly suited best for PvE since it relies greatly on mobs being packed close as well as your teammates to do damage.

If you want to use your mesmer secondary, I would suggest Arcane Conundrum. It's a simple non-elite 10 energy spell that can make interupts easy and make Concussion Shot a safer bet. Beyond this however, don't rely on your secondary too much. The primary ranger skills are very self sufficient and spreading your att. points can take away from their power.

Expertise 10+1+3
Wilderness Survival 11+1
Marksmanship 10+1

Punishing Shot {E}
Savage Shot
Distracting Shot
Read the Wind
Whirling Defense
Troll Unguent
Storm Chaser
Resurrection Signet

*Tips*

Try to keep Read the Wind up at all times.
Whirling Defense if a warrior/ranger/assasin is attacking you.
Storm Chaser if the warrior/ranger/assasin is still attacking you after Whirling Defense.
When a warrior uses Healing Signet try to use Distracting Shot for a 20 secs disable.
Savage Shot is prefered versus spellcasters but Distracting Shot works fine to.
Spam as much as you can

Backfire? On a Ranger? What a noob!

As pointed out, yours is more of a Fragility Shock ranger. True it's been nerfed, but Reika's webby pointed out it could make a comeback from some Factions Skills like Marauder's Shot and Focused Shot.

If you're looking at pure interruption, a generic build would be something like:

Expertise: 10+4
Marksmanship: 11+1
Wilderness Survival: 10+1

Ressurrection Signet
Dual Shot
Punishing Shot {Elite}
Savage Shot
Distracting Shot
Troll Ungeunt
Read the Wind
Whirling Defense/Lightning reflexes

Why dual shot? Rest I can understand (and use it myself).
