Defender or Corrupter?

So in the course of things I have thought up what I want to do in PvP and have thus far decided on probably leveling up my brutes (ss/willpower, mace/shield, EM/elec) and probably sticking them in PvP. But I think I basically know what to do with them or what not despite my noobishness in pvp and having to learn all the changes and rules of thumb that comes from a 2 year hiatus from this game

I know...

So basically I have come to seek advice on what to do with a ranged/debuff/buff class. Controllers never really appealed to me, and I have no idea what I am doing with a Dominator (despite extreme interest in a mind control dominator... is that any good?) So I decided to go with the other sort of class I am familiar with. Defenders.

However I was thinking, would it be better to roll a corrupter for pvp? Scourge seems WAY better than the defender inherent for pvp purposes, and I would think would make up for the debuff/buff strength differences. Or am I wrong?

What Primaries and Secondaries are supposed to be viable for pvp? (I had rarely done arena play and preferred zone pvp both solo and on teams)

ice/cold?
/thermal?
sonic/rad?
sonic/pain dom?
does traps still suck?

ok... thats enough from me

The brutes you listed won't do too well.

MC Doms are good, pair it with elec

Corruptors are better than Defenders now because of no unresistable debuffs and corrs have scourge

Elec/therm
rad/cold
sonic/cold
