A PB gets you all of those (in some measure).
Blaster?: Sure - Nova's attacks are pretty nasty, especially if you slot
with HO's to tweak acc, dmg and range.
Buffs: Sure - You're self contained with your own heals, shields, resistance etc.
Survivability: Yep, got that too with High HP, Essence Boost, and Dwarf
Tank: HP and armor - Yes, indeed - see Survivability...
The tri-form PB can cover a lot of the gaps that a non-epic AT has to
deal with. To be sure, it gives up a little in each of those categories in
comparison to the specific AT's you mentioned, but as a well-rounded PvP
toon, a PB is a pretty decent choice.
Sure, it's more challenging to play well, but for some, that's an additional
part of the appeal.

PS> With the recent reduction in Level required to unlock them,
they're also easier to get, so I'd think that's also a factor for seeing
more of them these days.

They have longer range in nova form than any other AT so you can build them to deal high DPS with a super long range and snipe people. Also, they have nice self buffs
Survivability is the reason I PvP with my PB. The self heals, armor, and phase is the reason I play one. I may not be able to dish out a lot of damage, but I can survive for a while and if my target does not have a self heal and they dont run I can chip away at their HP and kill them. I like how when a Stalker ASs me when I have Essence Boost on and they only take ¼ HP. Once I had a Stalker AS me and right after he wrote this in broadcast ??? and then he wrote brb gonna respec I was laughing at my keyboard for 20 min.

He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
I like to PvP with my Epic AT's, but currently VEATs suck in PvP so that leaves my PB. I like the challenge and it make me feel good that i am not playing a common PvP AT.
Lately I have been seeing a some Kheldian's in the PvP zones and I was wondering why do you PvP with them? I know when People PvP with Blasters they want the damage, Scrappers want the survivability, defenders want the buffs/debuffs, tankers want the HP and armor, etc.... (for the most part)
What draw you to the Kheldians when you enter the PvP zone?
