Anyway, I think the point of this thread is that it's pretty hard to gimp a scrapper in PvP, regardless of primary/secondary

Oi! sush!! hehe
The bottom line is this....for PVP katana /regen rules..these no comparison...i admit spines are ok but there is no way a spines regen could beat my katana/regen(Demonic)Katana has the divine avalance move....one of the only still standing moves to let ppl fight AV'S(i have done this myself and not been beat )although u dont have the power to kill them.Also the golden dragonfly move ,when hit with critical is second to none in speed and damage.And these above things are just the tip of the iceberg....Katan/Regen FTW!!!!
Errm you are joking right? :-s
hehe the spines scrapper might not be able to kill you, but you wont be able to kill him either. and besides he can kill squshies a lot more efficently then you can.
With regen as secondaries i rate primaries
1 Spines
2 Broadsword
3 Martial arts
4 Katana
5 Dark melee
6 claws
Woot claws getting much love from everyone! :P (Not that i'd disagree, my claws/regen doesnt have much fun pvping)
@Jaw Dropper - Toons of all levels so drop me a line!

Twitter me!
claws can actually be pretty decent in PvP, fast recharge, range..
from the pick of MA or kat, I'd go for MA. The burst damage on MA plus the stuns is just too great to ignore.
Oh and to anybody here saying DM aint too great in PvP.. I got a DM/SR made for PvP and thusfar I wouldnt trade him for anything stacking touch of fear for fear and the nice acc debuff combined with SR's defbuffs, makes for your enemies missing... ALOT. Still cant stop chuckling bout that spines stalker trying to BU/AS me 4 times before giving up

dm can be very nice but it lacks a build up which makes it hard to kill a squishy. its great for killing brutes though.

My own list would propably be
1. BS
2.-4. MA, spines, Katana
5. Claws
6. DM

MA is much better than katana.
My ranking would be
Spines > MA > BS > DM > Claws > Katana

Dont you mean in your opinion?? I would say katana is better than MA due to its quicker recharge times and still does great damage.
Also powers such as DA, Soaring dragon and golden dragonfly have a defence bonus, knock up and knock down.
How many of you lot have actually played DM!
DM is great in PvP just depends what PvP zone you want to play in particular for instance DM would be up in my top3 for sirens because it has ToF and is probably the second strongest attack with SM after BS's powers DM just lacks the extreme damage attack that alot of the scrapper powers have which means is falls behind in WB and RV, DM is also nice in BB.

Ive got Crippling Axe Kick slotted with immob and my Eagles Claw slotted with disorient not to mention I'll be grabbing Cobra Strike soon to throw it all in at RV

A bad slotting if you ask me. You dont gain enough time by slotting them and you need the damage more. 2acc, 3 dmg, 1 recharge for both Crip Axe and eagle is prolly the best slotting. Considder 1acc, 3 dmg, 2 recharge if you have focussed accuracy.
So many things grant protection to stun/immobs. The fact you can do it is enough. You dont really need the duration.
If you stun you switch off travelpowers, and you gain enough time for the kill.
If you immob they have to deal with, and it gives you enough time for a kill.
If they have protection against stun/immobs added duration wont help, and you only do less damage than you could have done.

Sorry i dont think i made myself clear enough, my bad.
What i meant by slotting for immob and disorient is that any slots i could spare on attacks (2 for CAK and 1 on EC)
I popped a disorient and an immob in the respective slot(s)
Obvioulsy both those attacks were slotted for damage and ACC long before that.

How much use is the slow protection though?

It's great, plus the adition of quickness which doubles the effect
