I don't PvP, but my understanding is that Regeneration blows Willpower and Super Reflexes away in PvP.
Dark Melee is an excellent primary, but Martial Arts is being buffed. I don't know which would be better for PvP, and with the buffs, and because Regeneration doesn't benefit nearly as much from Siphon Life as some other secondaries, I might honestly go with Martial Arts for PvE.
So I guess my tentative recommendation is Martial Arts/Regeneration, but it would be nice to get information from people who actually PvP and know how that would behave.

Honestly, MA/Regen probably would be your best bet for PvP. Only Fire/Regen or (possibly) Spines/Regen would be better.
Also, if you're starting over on a new server, I'd say go with Freedom if you want lots of PvP action. Virtue has a healthy PvP crowd, but Freedom is where the VAST majority of PvPers have congregated. Personally, I can't stand Freedom, but it's not quite as horrible as some would have you believe (can't believe I actually just said that)
Mind telling us what the last issue you remember being around for was? PvP has changed quite a bit, and you may or may not be aware of exactly how much.

it's been atleast 3 to 4 years since I really played so lots to learn. From what I am getting regen is king for pvp but is willpower very far off? I can handle playing regen but I'm mostly torn between DM and MA.
Willpower is a LONG way off, as I recall. It's probably marginally better in PvE, particularly in inexperienced hands (Willpower is go make a sandwich in the middle of the spawn easy), but I'm pretty sure it gets destroyed by Regen in PvP.

Hmmm...my guess...
Go MA/Fire Armor/Soul or Leviathan Mastery.
MA is getting buffed in the damage department, Fire Armor is getting buffed, and gets to add in Fire Damage to the attacks, and Soul Mastery gives Shadow Meld (or Leviathan Mastery for Hibernate).
Regen is likely still ahead of Fire Armor in PvP, but Fire Armor will bring more damage!

I am returning to the game after a long break and I'm looking for some input. I have a couple lvl 50 scrappers but I am looking to start over on a new server with some friends.
I have narrowed my choices to Dark melee/Martial arts for primary and Regen/Willpower/Super relexes for secondary.
Before I quit I enjoyed pvp so I want to be able to pvp without eating dirt constantly or not being able to kill anything. I also want to be able to enjoy all the fun pve stuff with friends.
I appreciate anyones input.
