i'd suggest starting here: linky.
Knowing what faction and AT you prefer is also useful. Within each AT there are sets that generally do better or worse in PvP. If you have a particular archetype in mind i'd suggest posting in that sub-forum as well.

They can be kind of harsh in the PvP section, but if you sift through all the snark there's some good advice to be had there.

You'll get some build advice there, as well. Don't look at it and think you have to redo everything or relevel - When you're ready to tweak your build for PVP, go to a trainer and start working on your second build. You can switch between them every 15 minutes.
For instance, mentioning nin/nin, I think that combo's only available as a stalker. For PVP, you're going to be advised to take the Stealth pool - Hide is good enough for 95% of PVE enemies, but an experienced PVPer is going to have far more perception (at least with a PVP build) - and some sets can see through your basic Hide to begin with (Ice armor, Super Reflexes, any VEAT, for starters.) So you'll want higher stealth - thus the stealth pool.
Also, the "rules" on how powers behave in PVP are far different than how they work in PVE. (Example: In PVE, you have mez resistance. You don't notice stuff trying to hold you unless they finally stack enough holds to break through. In PVP, it's resistance - every hold that lands WILL affect you (simplified explanation,) it's just a question of how long.) You'll have to learn to deal with travel suppression (don't take teleport,) diminishing returns and more. You'll also likely be looking into IOs (a stealth IO to begin with, to stack with hide and whatever other form of stealth you pick up.)
Expect to have a lot to learn. Don't get frustrated.
Oh, you'll probably want to specify if you're looking at arena or zone PVP, too - for the first, find a good PVPing SG and train, train, train.
Bill means - in PvE, you primarily deal with Mez Protection. This must be overcome before your mezzed.
In PvP, there is only resistance - which shortens the duration.
