Only me or does Sentinels suck pvp wise?

Im playing a Sentinel, and it seems to me that i picked the worst class in the entire game when it comes to PvP, i might be doing something wrong. If anyone have some suggestions when it comes to specc and what to do im really open for anything ( im combat atm )

Thanks in advance

"Plenty will dispute this, but I tend to think the assassins/sorcerers are the only viable class in pvp at the moment, due to the ridiculous amounts of cc + dps they get. Until diminishing returns are implemented in a noticeable way, I don't see this changing."

resolve..........

i dont know

been lookin at marauders lately and im thinkin whenever the operative nerf goes thru if there crap in pvp about making one but ive heard them being compared alot to fury warriors in world of warcraft.anyone that has played fury and that has played a carnage spec marauder seem to think they play just like them.i mean,warriors look cool but i hated playing fury

but i dont know,everytime i seem to bring up or see people bring up world of warcraft to sw tor comparisons it always ends up being a flamefest

I have a blast PvPing with my Sentinel. I use the Watchman Skill tree which many say isn't good for PvP, but so far it has done great for me. I genearlly shut Sorcs down since I can use force leap from 0-30m which is nice since it is an interupt. plus, Force Kick cool down is reduced to 6 seconds which also helps shut down the longer casts of sorcs, or the channeled force lightning. Against other classes I do fairly well. The interupt ability of Watchman plus the Dots do wonders. If i can quickly stack my dots, even if they CC me, they are taking damage from me.... and if I can stack centeirng fast enough (whcih I build 4 per attack that uses focus plus 2 each time I'm attacked) I can extend my HP pool through self healing; this plus a PvP med pac and expertice stim allowed me to take on 2 IMPs on my own in a warzone to secure a turret. I fought a Sorc and a marauder.

In open world PvP, I love my sentinel... I am tempted to try the combat tree for it's burst damage, but I love the constant damage and interupt ability of the watchman. I think that the ability to disrupt the enemy and do really good damage is better than not being able to shut them down as effectively and do great damage.

I don't play them, but I play with and against them often enough, and they do just fine from what I can see. As a healer I wouldn't categorize them as a problem class like snipers and assassins, but they can put quite a dent in me when I'm trying to heal and I have no problems defending a point with one by my side.

Brah we got dat anti heal throw. You might want to worry about us a little more as a healer. Whenever I start throwing that thing heals on the enemy team drop substantially.
