Dark Def - Viable in PvP

I am a PvP novice - been in RV and Sirens a couple of times and get the feeling that my toon is just not cut out for PvP - I know as a defender I should not be looking to be the 'villain killer' but more of a support player - but I am still finding my survivability to be abysmal.

My toon is Lv 50 and I am open to fully respec'ing it (been needing and overhaul for ages). I really need some advice from experienced PvP vets as to how to approach a Dark/Dark defender build that will increase my survivability and also get some pointers on what your thoughts are on tactics too.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Dark defs arent the most viable for PvP.

-Your heal requires a hit, and you cant really use it to heal others since they are jumping all over the place like a bunch of loons.

-Your res debuffer is place on the ground, and is fairly easy avoided by your opponents, but if you do get place it has a nice -jump opponennt which makes fleeing from it very hard.

-Your defence/dmg debuffer can be dropped by just running away.

The best piece of advice I can give you, is not to try and find a build, but try to get into a PvP SG. It isnt as much the build as it is finding out what works with your team mates.

40% of the skill in this game is teamcoordination. So this is very you wanna be viable.

40% team coordination, 35% build, 25% own skill is how I view the game.
