My response to any further replies on this thread is to check out upzie's videos and tell me he doesn't help his team win. In response to Deception Assassins being squishy, while its true that our innate Defense is bad, all of our defense comes from our abilities. See a group of enemy players together, hit Mass Mind Control and mitigate their damage by 30%. I just saved my teammates from 5k worth of damage and earned myself a medal with one click. Fighting a Sorcerer, use Force Shroud and you are INVINCIBLE from all of their attacks for 5 seconds. With anyone else I have FOUR interrupts (Jolt, Electrocute, Low Slash, Force Cloak+Spike) so they can never cast anything or heal. This defensive list doesn't even include Deflection (increasing Defense by 50%), Force Run or the Rakata Adrenal that increases your Armor by 1500. For the last time, watch upzie's videos, learn to play the spec and then comment on it.

Just check out upzie's Deception videos and tell me that a deception Assassin isn't PvP viable: http://www.twitch.tv/upzie84/videos He leads in damage/medals/kills almost every WZ. (without Battlemaster gear) You just can't play a deception spec like a tank and run into the middle of 8 guys which is what I am guessing you are doing and are getting killed easily.
