Yes. pvp is worth going into. You would be wise to get some IO's if you want to be more survivable. Given that, the only undefeated toon in pvp is the one that has not gone into pvp, so don't take it too seriously. Get your accolades. Get a good build. Get some extra perception, hp and recharge when you can. Get good mez and kb protection if you can. Accolades are great to get because the task forces give you enough merits to buy a couple of decent IO's or a whole lot of recipe rolls if you prefer to gamble. Do hami raids (some of those sell for a lot). Do a task force at night, and then when done go to the pvp zone. You get dual builds even, so you can make a PvE and a PvP build if you feel so compelled.
While IO's make a huge difference, the player themself makes a big difference too, so there is nothing wrong with pvp'ing some before you have your build finalized. Consider it training. You do not need to be uber overnight. It will take time to accumulate some of the IOs if you do not have money on another toon to transfer it over and it will take practice to know how to best use your toon.
P.S. Personally, I wish with GR, or in the near future, they would restart PvP from scratch and take some veteran pvp'ers of all AT's who have played through the various versions of the game, as consultants to help to make something playable and enjoyable to all on some level. I bet the devs would not even have to pay some of you for some limited time.
