Making a regen is easy and maybe even fun but it will not teach you how pvp on any other toon is like, once you make a toon besides your regen you will feel like a noob because you didn't learn the basics of pvp.
I would suggest making some sort of corruptor or blaster..but if you are set on regen i'd go BS or fire or MA.

SO's I think they are called) but will still do good in PvP zones and duels. I was reading that MA/Regen is pretty nice for starters, but I was also wondering about Dark, BS, or Fire.

I would suggest a melee toon for you. It's a solid choice for a 'starter' build. Also since you are new, the learning curve for playing melee well might not be as sharp as playing a range toon. I suggest you try a WP/SS/earth tank or an SS/WP/Mako brute. WP is, IMO, simpler to play than regen. That helps if you are new to PvP. The only heal you need to manage is aid self. I prefer the brute, especially if you are going to 1 vs 1 in arena because of Fury. You can 1 vs 1 ranged (except thermals might pwn you) toons and have a good chance of beating anyone of them, and you can stand your ground vs any melee (except fire melee since it has a great DoT to stop your aid self).
It might not be as expensive to build as other powerset combination. Fighting range toons, you need to learn how to use Taunt well, mostly timing. Timing your mezzes to drop offensive toggles also is good to do vs ranged toons.
If you are too new, I would not recommend a regen for you. Managing and timing your regen powers is the key to being successful with it. That may not simplify your overall learning process in PvP. I would recommend a simpler power set. That is why I would recommend WP, and perhaps Invul, but I prefer WP for you because of easier task to manage endurance with WP, compared to Invul, especially with Rage crashes.
I hope that helps.

Make all IO's available in Paragon Market! NCSoft, the chinese are making BIG money selling influence and other stuff in the game. Best way to stop them = make the paragon market a place to buy all IO's and perhaps other things as well.
Roll a stalker. They are cheap, and viable in all aspects of team pvp.
Thanks a lot for all of the replies.
I' pretty fixed on a regen, but still on the edge of whether to pick BS, Fire, or MA.
Which one would be the cheapest to build?
