Gunbreaker Draw and Junction feels unfun to use

Everyone I've talked to agreed with me on this.
DPS Junction feels much weaker than the other two, and without the healer or tank junction, GNB has no sustain or mitigation. Unless you junction a tank or healer, you can't fulfill your role as a frontline combatant. The DPS increase you get from DPS Junction feels negligable, especially since you die too fast without healer or tank junction.

Furthermore, what sucks the most about this ability is sometimes there will only be a single healer or a single tank on the enemy team. And you have to fight with the targeting system to junction them. This can be incredibly unfun if you're already focusing an enemy DPS, because then you have to target a healer or tank and then come back to targeting the DPS you were focusing. If the enemy team comp is 4-dps (in Crystal Conflict), it feels incredibly clunky and frustrating.

TL;DR: GNB is too squishy with DPS junction (you have 0 mitigation or sustain in your job kit), and targeting a tank or healer feels like I'm actively fighting against the targeting system's clunkiness rather than fighting against the enemy team. Moreover, the DPS junction doesn't feel impactful at all, so I straight up feel like I'm throwing when I junction a DPS.

That's a bandaid solution that doesn't fix the issue at all. I just had a bunch of games where I did that and it did not feel any less clunky.

Yep I do agree.

If my memory don't fail me, you also lose the buff on KO.
And you can't target your allies to prepare your buff.

Those two should be fixed.

Yeah, you lose your junction when you die and have to do it all over again.

I think GNB should just have aurora, nebula and blasting zone in their base kit and junctioning enhances them instead. Also make you able to target own party members and don't lose buff on death.

Tank junction:
Nebula goes from 20% to 40%
Blasting Zone is weaker but gives 1s stun
Aurora is a shield with small aoe radius

Healer junction
Nebula's retaliation effect also heals
Blasting Zone is weaker but functions as SAM's meikyo shisui now.
Aurora increased potency on both heal and dot

Dps junction
Potency on retaliation effect is increased.
Blasting Zone increased potency
Aurora is a dot cast on enemies.

I don't think GNB needs a crazy amount of changes to become good or at least on par with other tanks.

Junction should add additional bonuses to the Limit Break.

DPS: Limit Break becomes an instant cast with increased potency and instantly apply 10% damage debuff.

Heal: Limit Break channels as usual, but each hit heals a significant amount to yourself and nearby allies. The second part, and the final hit of the Limit Break silences enemies for 1 (or 2) seconds.

Tank: Limit Break channels as usual, but each hit damages and applies 1 second of slow on nearby enemies. The second part, and the final hit of the Limit Break stuns enemies for 3 seconds.

I feel adding generic life steal to the GCD cartridge abilities(GCDs of Gnashing combo, Burst Strike, and Double Down), while adding a specific DnJ effect to Double Down, allowing you to DnJ yourself or a party member as well as a teammate, and maybe reduce the cooldown to 20sec so it actually aligns with it's Junctioned cast ability would be my personal additions.
