41 KB Prot is standard.
41 is enough to stop just about anything short of Force Bolt. You'll need at least 45 to stop that. Regarding repel, there really isn't a way to stop repel short of spending inf on PvP IO sets to get the "chance for repel protection" set bonuses.

41 or 45 sounds A LOT! A single Karma gives 4 protection (just as Steadfast and Blessing of Zephyr).
Does it mean I need 10 of them to survive the KB in a PvP zone?
I am going to say that on my corrupter at the moment I only have 27% resistance. I have not been knocked down once in the three weeks I have been playing it. The final build will have near 35% once I finish slotting. I dont know that you really need to be protected from 100% of the KB powers out there for zone play. In arena, yeah. 25% covers a lot of the powers used typically though.
So for a more casual player not looking for optimum, you can get away with less and still have a fun time in the zones and not get totally KB farmed. Those slots and sets you are using to get to 41% KB protection could also be used to give you more HP, recharge, recovery, etc... Those numbers are pretty darn important too. Take the 41% number with a grain of salt is all.

I really really reccomend slotting 35+ for occasional arena play, and 41+ minimum if you want to be competitive in the Arena.
You can do so pretty easily by combining steadfasts, karmas, blessings, glad armor (still relatively cheap), kinetic crash, slotted acrobatics (iirc 2 KB IO's in acro adds nearly 3 additional points of kb prot on top of the base kb protection from acro).

How much KB and Repel prot are needed to survive in the PvP zones? I am mostly in RV and Siren.
Thanks.
