Shadow, Sentinel or DPS guardian?

Hi, I am trying to decide on an alt, I want a force user as main is a gunslinger, I lvled all to 15 but still can not decide at all. Any pros cons you guys can think of?

 

I am probably most going to be interested in ranked/rated pvp.

Sentinel dps > guardian > shadow- imo

 

Shadow if you want to be sneaky and get stuck guarding nodes, Sentinel if you want a to top dps charts, guardian if you want to tank.

 

I've got all 3 @ 55 and geared but i mainly play the sentinel as there is always a spot in premades for one(smash unfortunately...).

I really enjoy playing my Assassin, not at 55 yet with her so I don't know about its performance in high end PvP but it's a blast thus far, I play deception (infiltration) and it has proven to be quite effective, stealth in a WZ is a blast.

 

I have a 55 Guardian that I tank in WZ's with. It's enjoyable, though a thankless job, you're not likely to get noticed a lot but you can make a big difference, your ability to stay alive until help arrives is excellent, the number of utilities at your disposal to help you better control the battlefield is very nice, and between guard, taunt, and guardian leap you are capable of keeping team mates up a lot longer than they should be. While thus far I'm only pugging I'm sure it would be much more effective in a premade setting, all your effort can be for naught if your guarded target stands in an AOE, or you and your target end up stunned in one. You go down fast often times if there is no healer as well. It's a situation where the PvP tank is very effective in organized groups while in less organized pugs you'd probably be more help to your team as DPS.
