So... How exactly do you pvp as War?

This is essentially the Extent of my pvp Experience.

For the first round I Got kited a LOT. Second round I wound up the most damage and kills on my team. Third round I Continued to get kited and fourth round we won but not by my influence.

The Actual PVP Skills have long cooldowns but is my Job as a War to Peel for my Healer? Or is it to go and put a beating on theirs?
With the lack of Cover like Pali has, And a substantial CD on my AoE knockback it feels like I really wouldn't be much for peels.

Edit : I Realized btw, about halfway through that Defiance didn't do much for me. It was essentially useless to use back then during 50 cap. Or was I Wrong (back then) To think that way?

Defiance makes sense for 72-man content when you are pushing the enemies front lines making you their nearest target and thus getting lots of aggro. If you're not getting hit or focusing nodes or w/e it's safe to drop.

24-man content, I almost never use defiance since it's always better to have the added dps.

A warrior in pvp is best suited to pressure the opponents healers and Black mages. A BLM with a warrior all over them will be completely shut down. You don't necessarily have to kill them, having them blow their cooldowns on you or having the rest of their party focus you is exactly what you want.

Outside of that, a well-timed group heal, Limit Break, or holmgang can certainly save your group especially when getting double teamed.

Defiance unchained burst is useful and can easily kill someone I'd timed properly

Mainly piss off casters

If an enemy is close to your group knock them straight into the middle of your team and holmgang their fucked
