I guess I should've made a big separate post in all caps stating that this spec is no fun for non-premade pvp.
I rarely queue solo, haven't since I hit 60+.
As for the damage, it really isn't as bad as it seems. I am typically #2 or #3 in overall warzone damage. Of course its all skill based, not trying to say I'm better than others, this spec does take time to get used to.
The spec is viable for Civil War as well. In playing with bad teams (don't you just get them all the time?) its nice to be able to team carry with a group of 4 running around defending. The 10% defense is a small boon too, for voidstar defense. The only time I feel pathetic and useless is voidstar offense.
I'm back Rage now, but it was a refreshing feel, and I will probably switch to this for rated. Run speed to me will always be the PvP king.
