Is there any point for a Brute to take Presence?

I'm a SS/EA Brute, L44 and mostly playing just PVE. However, evetually I want to get into PVP. I have a number of talents that I don't really use and I wondered whether I should drop three of them and take some of the Presence tree? Admittedly the first two talents in Presence are useless in PVP - and, because I usually solo, in PVE too - but Intimidate and Invoke Panic look like very good 'Hold' powers which would certainly be useful in BGs. Can anyone advise me?

presence can be very useful but TBH i'd really consider them as something extra. If you plan on pvP'ing at a realtively low level, say in SC then you'd probably have to take a hit on your build to get it working well. Base accuracy is horrid and the fear duration isn't very good. You'd probably be better slotting for to-hitdebuff and use that with your EA defences.

No, I meant to use Intimidate and Invoke Panic at quite a high level - the L50 battlegrounds in fact. Would they work there, do you think?
