Seems like the game is still CPU-bound, haven't really utilized the GPU. My CPU temp runs high whenever I play this, but GPU temp is okay.

CPU usage is kinda like what you said. How about the CPU and GPU temperature while running GW2?

Thank you for the information.
What's the usual reading on your CPU and GPU temp while you are gaming.

For Dragon Age 1 and 2 on max graphics settings, I get about 70+ degree celcius for the CPU temp while 80 to 90 for the GPU.

I feel that it is a bit strange in GW2. I place everything on low settings and yet still in the character creation screen, I get about 70 for the CPU temp while 90+ close to 100 for the GPU.
During in game playing, I'm getting 87 to 95 for the CPU while 80 on the GPU.

I just feel that something is not right. I have a 2nd gen I7 processor and ATI 6970M graphics card on my laptop. I think the specs are more than enough even on low graphics settings.

During idle mode (not gaming), CPU is about 50 to 55 degree celcius while GPU is about 55 to 62 degree celcius.

You are right about that. Actually, mine is a gaming laptop.
CPU: 2nd gen I7 2730QM
GPU: ATI 6970M

My laptop is just 1 year old. Got rid the dust and re-pasted my CPU and GPU.
Current with max graphics settings in GW2, I got 68 to 75 for CPU and 75 to 85 for GPU. Back to normal
