Try to find a good willing recognized NT with that no-ego-no-drama attitude who spends all his time in BS and dueling. I could talk of city pvp and towers as well but actually this pvp environment doesn't allow a player to collect as many "balance knowledge" as BS and duels do.
You need to find and talk with such a NT because as far as I can tell you are not that player ("spending a lot of time with my org doin our stuffs").
Please take no offense : it's just that the sheer amount of possibilities in PvP situations is huuuuuuuuuge, so you need someone who is really really into it.
When I used to play my NT a few years ago I was there and at some point you can pretty much say very precisely what's your chance of success against each individual profession, but that's just the start. As you keep playing you can refine this estimate and take into account individual playing style and setup / gimpness into count. Then you refine even more and you take into account not only you versus an other opponent but how you behave versus 2+ combo of all these professions / setup / playerstyle, and then you add the possibility of running with a friend of you, or two, and the possibilities extends even more. Then it also depends on if your toolset is up or in cooldown, and same for your opponents.
Please try to envision what I m saying, try to frame it in your mind : the sheer amount of PvP situations is huge.
You need a NT who has the global vision. He will want to balance his own profession for good sport.
Untill you find your personnal pvp adviser, you can start opening communication line with other profession's pvp expert. See what Srompu said at first ? "I don't think a huge nerf is needed". Just a little something. In most balance issue all that is needed is a few numbers tweak there and there. Your proposal of changing double is just random in term of pure balance and fairness for all, and if any of your proposed double change makes it in game, you will still have to properly balance it after.
I know Srompu is good ! Try to talk with him ! Maybe he ll point you to NTs he respect. No-ego-no-drama, it's for the game's own good and the whole community wins !
