My ill/ff troller will have soon to make a choice: get or skip FB?

FF is probably the less played set (FF defenders or /ff trollers are so rare... and i can understand why....err, ultranerf, err)..
I've picked up PFF (love it), the 2 allie buffs of course (i dont understand the sense to make a FF with no allie buffs.... FF is supposed to help with + defense, so why should a team invite you if you cant do your job..) and dispersion bubble.
Im not sure about FB: does it works like repel? (the kin toggle) because the description looks pretty similar, FB has probably a bigger AoE. Is that's all? :/ that's the FF ultimate power? :/
i had some experiences with repel (respecced out), and it was totally helpless in pvp, and just an aggro power in pve... is this FB the same? :/
i suppose its probably bad in pve, too much aggro....but what about pvp? its supposed to have a stronger repel/knockback effect than repel, but is it able to keep stalkers/brutes/scrappers/tankers/acrobatics people away from you? Does it drain more endurance per repelled mob?

It has a huge radius, bigger than dispersion bubble. IMO for PvE it is totally skippable but for PvP it can come in useful.

Just to clarify, Kinetics' Repel power is pure Knockback, there is no Repel portion to it. Yeah, I know it's silly.

Force Bubble has a minor Knockback component, but relies mainly on Repel. Foes in its large AoE will gradually be pushed away from you, not flung away at speed.

As such, only powers which resist Repel effects will be able to move freely through Force Bubble, and Repel resistance is a lot rarer than Knockback resistance.

Just to clarify. These powers are:

Unyielding from the Invulnerability set. Entropy Shield from Energy Aura and Increase Density from Kinetics.

Futhermore...Force Bubble is bugged/nerfed at the moment (noone really knows?) and the repel ticks are quite far apart so anyone with swift and sprint will be able to run through it and land a hit on you before they're repelled....still a must for PvP though.
