Focus is fine for pvp. Some will tell you that the only way to go is watchman. That's a fine argument, but it's not necessarily true. I'm a 50 sentinel War Hero. I have about half BM gear. I do very well in warzones. I'm consistently at the top or slightly behind the top of damage charts, getting 7-8 medals per game. Some of that may be due to gear, but I was getting 5-6 medals and placing in the top 5 in damage before I was BM. I use this rotation: Force Leap>Exhaustion>Zealous Strike>Force Sweep>Slash>Zealous Leap>Force Stasis>(Force Sweep or Dispatch)>Slash>(repeat, replacing FL with ZL if attacking a target in close quarters) The basic point of your rotation as Focus is to hit your force sweep so that it maximizes damage. Get the autocrit proc from FL or ZL. Then, build the 25% damage increase from FE/FS. Then, hit Force Sweep. Then, start building your procs back up, using slash as a filler. You can spec into slash so that it crits basically 50% of the time. So, most times it will do 1.5k per hit. Additionally, Second Wind is a nice skill to have, and it regularly heals me for 3.5k, which is usually enough to put me over the top in a tough fight. You can also throw in Pacify and Riposte at the beginning of your rotation if you're dealing with a melee dps. Similarly, your bladestorm will usually crit if you're specced into inreasing force critical chance (which you should be). SO, you can hit that if everything is on cooldown (shouldn't happen but it might). All that is situational though. It's a bit harder to kill healers as Focus spec than Watchman. But it's not significantly more difficult. Focus seems to have a little more burst, and a well timed, fully prepped Force Sweep with an adrenal or relic active will be more than enough to finish off most healers. It's just a bit different b/c you really have to rely on out-damaging the healing as and using your interrupts wisely as opposed to basically spamming interrupts as a Watchman. Also, 1.2 is giving Focus a buff IMO. Zen is now going to serve the same purpose as FE or FS. So, that'll mean higher damage output than the currently already high dmg output (my opinion).
