Yea pvp is pretty bad atm. For 3 though, some PvP pieces are really good if you don't have the dreadwyrm yet, like for off classes. They have good secondary stats. But yea, bad queue times, bad balance, bad strategy, bad lag, and bad dev response. I mean the devs have said jack for this whole time. Not even a "we're looking into it" just a bug fix for cometeor timing was all. And then there are a bunch of stuff that should have been fixed a long time ago, like pvp skill points per class so we don't have to respec every time we change.

It doesn't look like there'd be any relief until 3.0. For now, whenever people ask for mmorpg recommendations and they are even remotely interested in PvP I tell them to steer clear of this game.
