Know thyself
Its easy to think you have the edge in PvP if you know your opponent. And its true, however the best PvP players also know the limits of what they can do. Understand your class better than anyone else. Think outside the box. As in all MMOs, things change. I will work to keep up this list but it is ultimately up to you to stay on top of changes to your class. I know there are some areas that are blank below.
Mage Classes
Necromancers
Harder Targets: Tempest of Set, Priest of Mitra, Rangers, DPS classes
Easier Targets: Assassins
Useful feats for PvP: Master of dead, Unholy Hands
Useful PvP Strategies:
Set pets on people and run, drain all their endurance/mana
Set pets and hide on a very high hard to reach area
Single target healers in Group vs Group and take out a groups healing. With 8 pets you can even divide them(given enough time) onto two healers and still get them to the point where they are useless
Demonologists

Your knockdown doesn't last long enough to get behind someone, it's your ONLY defense against stopping someone's heal/attack/etc. Use it when you see an animation/ability you want to stop
Rogue Classes
Rangers
Harder Targets:
Easier Targets:
Useful feats for PvP: Sniper Stance, Agile Mind, Excellent Balance, Escape Artist

Guardian
Harder Targets:Tos, PoM
Easier Targets: Assassins, barbarians
Useful feats for PvP:
Bloody Vengeance, Momentum, Skewer
Useful PvP Strategies:
Use Momentum+Overreach,
Bloody vengeance and Strike and Guard. You should really include Bloody Vengeance its too good to give up.
To attempt to one-shot a player try Frenzy + Juggernaut + Momentum + Overreach
Volcanic rage -->Juggernaut --> Stunning Charge --> Knockdown --> High hitting Combo
Key Strategy: The use of the generic STUN BUFF is rarely used by the melee classes. Double tap 'W' (as described below) and your next hit is very likely to stun. When chargeing a caster, hit the W twice before you arrive, and you have the chance to interupt the spell that caster is tring to throw at you.
