Anyone know of successful engy strategies for PvP with the new patch? I am lvl 144 and still the only thing i know how to properly do in PvP is pay the reclaim constant visits.

/me is too used to the ooooouuuuuuhhhh sound when you die

With the new patch that focuses on some professions being able to easily kill a certain specific one (such as NT to Fixits), I was wondering how the Engineers fit in.
Adventurer - They can self-heal and have decent damage. This might be an interesting fight, but in general, our HP won't last as long as theirs.
Agent - They can't use aimedshot anymore due to our special attack buff, but they can still cast some nasty roots that are hard to break free of. They can root us outside the blind aura range and kill us off slowly. The only chance is to hope that the roots don't go through.
Crat - They would be the engy counterpart, only that they get nukes and mezzes. Our only hope is that thier mezzes don't land on the pet. The blind aura does not affect nuke attacks too.
Doctor - Any respectable doctor can heal faster than both the bot and the engy can do damage. We will end up dead while they will end up with 100% HP.
Enforcer - Given their almost infinite pool of HP, they will beat us to a pulp with their hammer before we can say "cheese".
Fixer - Not bad, if it weren't for GA. Nowadays they might actually not /disco while they kill us since the FAs don't land.
MA - Crit nerf and blinds are on our side. But they can still heal and hit for non-convential damage when they hit.
MP - Here we might actually have a fight. Both have pets, only that they get an additional heal pet, and roots, and nukes...ok, maybe not that much of a fight.
NT - Cast NS or root/mezz pet, nuke away...
Trader - Clearly not a good picture. Mezzes, roots, and debuffs. While we are trying to get the root off the pet they can debuff us so the pets become OE.
Soldier - Total Mirror Shield. Even though we have gotten the ability to stop those nasty bursts and FA, hitting them when they have TMS on is almost suicide, especially for a nanomage engineer.
I just went over all the professions and did not see a clear edge against ANY of them. What I did see was a clear disadvantage against many.
Thus far, our easiest opponents will most likely be the Adventurer or MA.
This all, of course, is based on very limited PvP experience, since until today, I can account for seveal deaths (15+) and not one win. I ask people to add their two cents on their experience to clarify against who are we supposesd to have an edge.
