What should I be aware of going into PvP?

As a SCH, I find it easier to let my fairy do her thing (embarrassingly I still don't have the micro down yet) while I focus on damage mitigation. Virus healers and bane groups of enemies if you can afford the stacks.

While most of my advice is from my limited experience, a lot comes secondhand, like when it comes to gear: your level 60 gear is good enough, but try to get some fending gear for that HP boost, up to at least 10K. That way you can survive most LB's.

Don't be afraid to use protect, especially against Monks and AST, but this may not be viable in the middle of a feast match. Capitalize on PvP skills and NEVER use the PvE Raise/Ressurect/Ascend. Also the PvP raise (can't remember the name, sorry) is instant cast so you won't have to waste your Swift Cast. If you're surrounded by melee, use Aetheric Burst and Aura Burst (I think?) since this is an AOE Fluid Aura; just be weary of a tank's Pushback ability. If not, just Blizzard II and run. One last thing, don't waste time casting Shadow Flare unless you're breaking Ice or forcing people out of bubbles, leave that to SMN.

Hope this helps but you can get better advice from other people. Oh, right, don't worry about any venom you may get for being new; they were new at some point.
