Help me adjust to FFXIV's PvP

[Alahra]

Though I played FFXI for many years, I also spent a lot of time in WoW prior to playing FFXIV. When I was in WoW, most of my playtime was spent focusing on PvP battlegrounds, as a Rogue.

Almost all of my PvP experience comes from that game, and though FFXIV is a lot like WoW in many superficial elements (GCD, duty finder, etc), its PvP gameplay is pretty different in some significant ways. WoW's PvP had a much higher emphasis on control, with longer stuns, reliable snares, and so on, compared to FFXIV's.

I've wanted to get into PvP for a long time in XIV, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to approach it because the PvP experience I had in WoW hasn't been very valuable.

Since control is so much less powerful here, what are the normal strategies for taking an opponent down quickly? So far, at least with NIN in the Feast, the burst I have doesn't seem to be quite enough without significant cooperation (something that's usually not available in solo queues), and I'm wondering if there are things I'm perhaps missing, both for NIN specifically and just for FFXIV's PvP in general.
