Human form PB's are very viable these days... especially if you build for perma lightform 
Jem - Ill/Rad Controller Lv 50+3 Nic - Mind/Psi Dominator Lv 50+3 Lady Liberation - Invuln/SS Tanker Lv 50+1 Invicitx - Demon/Pain Mastermind Lv 50+1 Celeste - Emp/Arch Defender Lv 50+1 Nightsilver - DB/WP Scrapper Lv 34 Dusk Howl - StJ/Regen Brute Lv 32 Kyriani - Time/Energy Defender Lv 41Psifire - FF/Psi Defender Lv 50
Star Lighter - LB/LA Peacebringer Lv 30
In my opinion, Human form PBs appear to be more viable than Tri-Form. I have no way to back that up.
Where to now?

What about dual form?

Let me try to break it down for you. A Tri-Form Peacebringer will have the best AOE damage potential available to the AT. Human only can have respectable to good AOE output, leaning more towards good once the -KB proc and the summer event go live.
The drawback to playing a Peacebringer with forms is that, until we get toggle suppression, you have to sacrifice defense potential for more AOE damage. Instant form shifts did a lot to encourage the use of forms since the Nova AOE's (Nova is the best AOE damage form, considering the quality of attacks, the inherent form buff and the KG global bonus) can now be chained with Dwarf Flare, which does KD instead of human Flare's KB (which in and of itself interferes with max AOE damage potential in its current state.)
Basically, a Tri Form Peacebringer will do more burst AOE, and it will be more consistent to boot until the summer event launches. Human form has access to the best ST damage (though you can obviously still run that chain on a tri form build) and has access to higher survivability due to its ability to seamlessly run +defense toggles. Hope this helps.

I'm looking for something that would be fun in zone PvP and also versitile enough for PvE. I've heard that this is doable, but I'm needing more info.
I think that I could invest quite a bit into the build if it's really as fun and versitile as it sounds, considering making it my main....

I use human/dwarf and I like it a lot. I use dwarf as an extra heal, and to double flare mostly. I also use it as a break free when mez is too much for light form. I think dwarf complements human form very well without needing much slotting investment.

The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.
So I haven't played my Peacebringer in years (I also got a 38 Warshade, my PB is 32) and I need to farm the day badges on my main. Peacebringers have had a lot of changes since I last played them and even in the most recent patch.
Is Human only form still viable? Or is it a waste now that the forms shift instantly?
Defining viable, I would define it as an example a Fiery Aura character can skip Embrace of Fire and work, however, he would of been that much better had he taken it.
