All of these abilities are useable alongside your existing PvE abilities which may or may not be tweaked in PvP.
So with that in mind....look at your classes skills and consider the traits. Think about strategies for your class and post here
ALSO, if Items are allowed in the Wolves Den, there will be ways to counter things! For instance, if one of your teammates is asleep, use a Smelling Salts on them to wake them up (make sure you buy these, HQ for faster cooldown). If you are the one sleeped, Yoshida said the ability [Fetter Ward] will be able to wake you up and remove sleep but it has a long recast time and if the mage wants you asleep they will probably cast it again using something like Swiftcast so please consider this beforehand.
If you are a caster class, use [Surecast] and [Equanimity] as ways to cast without interruption.

Using axe kick lets you use pb as a burst of damage if you really want to but I feel that is a waste of pb. even if axe kick could be spammed I doubt damage wise and diminishing returns wise it would be worth it in perfect balance buff
