These keybinds are very interesting and intuitive, ive been using them to play GW2 on keyboard for the past 10 years. Whats different about these binds, is it uses W, E, and R for your basic movement. With the rest of the keybind settings, this allows you to keep your fingers mostly aligned and not having to contort them in weird ways (when using the keyboard). The Utility skills are on a row directly below the movement controls, those keys being T, S, D, F, and G for what would normally be 6, 7, 8, 9, and 0 keys. The profession skills are directly above, except Q which I use for profession skill 1. For my azeron, I focused on not manipulating my keyboard binds at all, so I could switch back and forth between the azeron and the keyboard without losing 10 years of muscle memory. I also focused on binding them to the Azeron in a similar place I would find the binding whilst playing on keyboard. I use gw2radial for my mounts, which is on my tilda (~) key. I currently do not have some keys bound, such as tab targetting, commander icons, and some menus, but that can be added to the analog dpad easily where currently Hero, Map, and Inventory is bound.
