the obvious ones first? 
claws/spines with regen - fast recharge and extremely hard to kill 1 on 1.
ill/rad controller - if used correctly you can own the other dueler
stone/EA brute - gd end drains and high burst dmg, however the end issue needs to be addressed with the stone aspect of it
dark/sonic defender - uncommon i know but faced one of these with my fire tanker 1 v 1 and let me say that my shield counted for nothing 
debuffs on them are outstandingly high (the heal doesnt need mentioning right? 
)
em/ninja stalker - however only if the player doesnt have a perception increase
one more i think lol . . .
fire/ss tank - got 1 of these myself geared towards pvp and it is very able, you could survive an onslaught of 2 brutes quite easy and your attacks is quite decent compared to some of the other tanker secondaries.
Hope iv been some help

Ice/em fire/em blaster
Ill/ice/Storm/rad troller
Rad/psi rad/son storm/son storm/psi defender
ice/em fire/em tank
spines/regen spines/SR BS/regen BS/SR
If you want a dueling build on heroes any of them will do the trick....from personal experiance Ice/em blaster and Rad/psi when played well will pretty much Pwn all!
Oh and Illusion/Storm is also very powerful imho 
I think the very best are an ice/nrg blaster, ice/nrg tank, and a rad/psi hero side but there are lots of variations that are good at dueling which Aphex has said I have to say I enjoy playing my ice/elec even though not really min-max. My rad/sonic is great but quite different in style to a rad/psi but more suited to duels than team matches because of the rooting although better at killing non-squishies.
Villain would probably be em/regen, ice/cold, & ice/rad. A well played Em/Regen with phase is almost impossible to kill 1 vs 1, seen a guy on us has a record of 77 wins 2 defeats which is quite impressive
Edit: Forgot to mention TA trollers are nasty too

(Not in a particular order) Ice/EM blaster, Ice/EM tanker, Illu/Rad, Rad/Psi, Kin/Elec, Spines/Regen scrapper, Spines/SR scrapper, EM/Regen (although I don't agree with Phil on it's almost impossible to kill on a 1v1 when played properly, I think it's impossible at all, shame for the lack of +percep tho), Ice/Rad controller, Fire/Rad controller... and don't believe what they say, Fire/FF is very nasty too 
rad/psi defender is THE #1 1vs1 build.
Heroes : Katana / Regen Scrapper
Villains : Superstrenght / Electric armor brute
Basicly you need to get a character that has a long endurance and some nice firepower and or debuffs.
Holds are something i can recommend in pvp 1vs1
Thats the basics you need if you wanna deul i think.

There are a few builds that beat them though. Many controllers can.
IMHO ice/rad and ice/cold corrs are good in 1v1...though not sure how they would fair against a decent MM. Controllers to me still seem the best AT to handle solo pvp.
@Sweet Chilli
I'd go with Dark/Cold corrupter. Now i just need to play mine more.

Somehow people almost completely forget DM/Regen these days, despite the fact that with ToF three slotted for To hit debuff it can be harder to hit than an SR scrapper, as well as the Mez aspect.
DM/Regen for duels? what? Am I missing something?

1)Regens are dead meat against rad trollers or rad/psy defenders. They less chance than a showball in hell.The troller would eat your bf's before the fight is over, and the rad/psy or rad/sonic would just kill you.
2)DM lacks a build up power, and scrappers cant get a kill without.
3)Blasters have Aim/BU and can hit right through ToF's -acc. A rad will ignore any -acc with radiation infection.
Another scrapper cant kill a regen, nor can a tank thats cuz of the clicky heals and NOT ToFs -acc which is completly negated by focussed accuracy or BU.
4)DM doesnt have any range, so they can easily be kited to death by fire, ice blasters with the cold epic.
Basicly people didnt forget DM/regen, they just find it [censored].

Rad/Psi vs Regen is pretty tight and a good regen especially one with mezzes is a tough fight but Rad/Sonic and Rad trollers definately do destroy regens

I presume you are talking about your MA/regen. All I can say is this. "Doesnt the rad/psi slow cap ya [censored]?" He can webnate ya and kite the [censored] out of you. Powerboosted LR is damn nasty when you cant jump.
I wouldnt say rad/psi vs. MA/regen is a hard fight.
The only build that might work is spines/regen using a ton of reds, getting one kill and spending the rest of the day running and thos winning 1-0.
Perhaps the guy you fought didnt plan his insp right? Bring a couple of oranges, and other nifty things. Also a couple of SoW's will totally nullify any kind of stun you can smack on him.

I'm just saying I only lost 1-0 to a good rad/psi, whereas on my Rad/sonic I get a lot more kills against regens. And the Rad/Psi was running from me
Edit:But yeah SoWs would nulify my stuns but all I said was tough fight not that I would win I didnt mean it as omgwtf Ma/Regen > everything just that rad/psi isnt as good as rad/sonics or rad/controllers against regens generally.
