tl;dr version:
Some things are or feel broken - it's lame.
I will admit that what I don't find quite right needs exploring before I say anything and it will get explored as I know there are plenty of ppl who would pvp me.

Arena is awesome as it allows you to gauge your abilities against your peers in a definable way.
Now it has selectable maps... fap.
@Rooks
"You should come inside the box... Then you'll know what I mean."
been doing some casual fights and i must say that arena can be pretty fun.
I'm always up for PvP so would be happy to Shannon.
Rooks is right about the arena being the best place to show each other how good you are as everything can be 100% fair.
Zones are usually unfair sides (only a problem for some) full of farmers or full of people who moan and call you every name under the sun if you beat them. i13 also made pretty much every stalker a "spirit sharking" one, doing 750 damage per ranged attack.
CoH PvP SG = SuperUnion - Co-Leader - Union/Freedom
CoV PvP VG = Disruption - Co-Leader - Union/Freedom
Global = @Rent & @Rent.
Playgroup are all **** - Global Handle

That and there's always the risk of getting jumped by random PvE, it's not always a problem when it happens but it can certainly mess things up.
Thankyou for replies, what I will be doing to kill more than one bird with a stone, in the zones, on every server between xmas and new year with some chars being more pvp friendly than others. No matter how you do it some builds will be but dual builds shuts down the problem.
I can get the spend time in a PvP zone badges, the explorers in some cases and the candy whilst I wait for someone and then just fight to see if its aesthetically real enough more than fair. (I bet doing a wind up before knockout blow from a few feet away is probably possible). I find the secondary effects from powers like caltrops lacking myself. As a /Dev when you can't really blap you could do with being a better kiter surely?
Then after new year, its some arena with obliging ppl who would take on my different ATs so that I can get an idea of each AT is like survivability wise versus the same person. There are two things; sustainable damage taken and sustainable damage given, the potential of each AT may not be the same but they could be somehow right.
My friend who I done stuff with occasionally pvped, but found iirc it got silly cos if you are on one character the other person will want to change to another rather than just fight with what they had and so it was all rock paper scissors.
I won't be playing to stand over someones corpse, doing the funky chicken dance and gloating. I will be playing to find my concepts limits and the opponents limits and it is nicer when you have more of a fight in which to work it out.
My problem will be the insp game tho, if I am staying in the zone then I could be the one with the least insps.

No wai! TGs spelling was never that good 
Only joking if it is TG 
Mind you it was better than most english players spelling 
X4? Is that the one Lord Far-seer won and Rent offered to take a dive as Far-seer was our SG leader.
@Sweet Chilli
I had a really good day in PvP zones today.
I met nice people, one made me global friend, there was not many people but they were civilized and it was more about testing and learning than whose the better person.
I was not happy with Kheldians performance especially with teleport. Scrappers that have to hit to get a acc and dam buff in the first place are disadvantaged; they may do dps but hows that work out? Secondary effects of all kiting related powers of Blasters are pretty weak. If they can't do flash things like end drain and are left to kite and interrupt I expect them to excel more than they currently do at it.
Was either fun or nice meeting people though.
