Is it possible to see some huge changes made to the PvP in the near future? I want to keep queuing for frontlines without the fear that a dozen DRK/DRGs on a team will dominate a match purely based on exploits the devs overlooked.
It seems a lot of players have very similar frustrations. And first ask for sweeping changes to the game to be made before exploring all the available counterplay.

For example, did you know that you could mark the most troublesome DRKs on the opposing team and

- use a SGE LB to make the whole DRK/DRK set-up obsolete every single time

- use chiten and guard so that the incoming DRG LB and DRK setups allow you an instant kill, thus reducing the enemies battle high by half and reducing the potency of future set-ups

- use AST LB to mitigate the amount of damage your party takes (alliance members will still get hit 100% but you resuce the amount of losses)

- use WHM imp on an incoming DRG before they can go into Sky High which will delay their LB long enough for everyone in the DRK trap to get out

- press guard immediately when pulled by a DRK

- Press SCH/AST AoE movement ability to swiftly guide your party out of the DRK set up before they can plunge in/ force the DRK to plunge into a terrible position and get himself killed

There are many more ways you can be creative and although there are less buttons to press, one could argue that the new PvP revamp has made PvP even more of a critical thinking exercise. It certainly could be considered more complex than the previous iteration of PvP in this game.

Please understand my comment isn't to undermine your frustrations but to help you become a bettee player. Because when everyone improves, the quality of the matches also improves and become a lot more fun for everyone. If we complain about changes instead of adapting, then the meta never changes, the developers won't be making sweeping changes any time soon, and people remain frustrated and end up quitting, thus lowering the quality of matches for everyone.
