Best thing you can do in PvP to increase your damage, get your keybinds sorted out and learn how to strafe. Willpower is the stat you want as a Consular, anyone saying strength is trolling (or they do not know how the stats in ToR work). As a tank you have useful tools, as well as being able to (well should) put out reasonable damage. You are probably not going to top damage in Warfronts but 100k+ is easily achievable. Use guard on a healer (or a huttball carrier) to redirect some damage to you, taunt means that players who don't attack you when you taunt them do less damage to other players.
