PvP Scrapper Interests

Well I just got my DM/SR Scrap lvl 50 and like a noob I tried pvp with simple 50 IOs (Acc/Dam/Recharge no IO sets). Needless to say, I got demolished . Since I enjoy using Scrappers, I am thinking of making a pvp oriented scrapper. Yes, I have read forums and I see that Regen is the "Best" scrapper secondary for pvp, yet I want to know if any other secondaries work well. More specifically, I am looking at FA, DA, WP and just some clarification on why SD is sucky in pvp. I'll probably end up rolling a BS/Regen Scrap, but before I do what the Romans do, I want to see how the other options stack up.

Thanks in advance
PS
I already know I acted like a noob so there really is no need to post messages like "lulz noob". If you are gonna do that just back it up with some information

/FA is probably the next best thing, but it's still far from /Regen. /DA is bad, /WP is bad, and defense sets are REALLY bad.


"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict

So why is WP so bad in pvp, it seems like it has some pretty decent powers.

One of WP's mainstay powers is Rise to the Challenge. However, RttC has a minor to-hit debuff which tags it as an offensive aura. Any mez will immediately drop offensive toggles. With the way they've changed mez back in i13, you no longer have mez protection.

It's resistances are meh, it has no reliable self healing power, and defense is a joke in PvP. In short, it has very little to offer in terms of PvP mitigation.

Assuming you're putting this toon together for zone, dont forget to pickup webnades and taunt and make yourself a useful contributor in the zone instead of a subpar damage dealer.
