Sorry SE, but endgame won't work if you don't fix something.

Of course, circle-strafing will probably become the norm and mages will be uber-mad.

This is not WoW. There will be no circle strafing in PVP. Your character will *always* turn automatically to face the character even if they're behind you.

Possibly, because everyone is experiencing the delay (not ping, but how frequently the server updates), it might be a level battle field. There will be some actions you can't dodge and others that you can.

Anyone who has pvp'd for more than a few minutes in any other mmorpg before knows that this lag will be a severe impediment to any class that relies on an interrupt.
