The issue isn't your lack of healing [any sneti-tank worth their salt gets ~1K per tick outta the mastery] its your damage resistance... in other words you need more tank in your tank.
In all things, a calm heart must prevail.

Yeah some things are broken... no I don't use/abuse them.. where would be the fun in that?
In general, the solution to someone doing more DPS than a sentinel tank can deal with is not heals -- it's blocking, active defenses, or disrupting your opponent's ability to dps you.
I already have defiance and a little over 370 something defense. I'm not really sure how to get much more damage resist than that outside of going wardicator, but I don't want to do that. Would having a second active defense help?
If you are duelling melee dps / dragon's wrath users, the likelihood of surviving them as a defiance sentinel is very low. The fact that you are duelling them as a melee tank further decreases this probability. A possible alternative is to have nanobot swarm, adding a second active defense as a backup, and I would recommend equipping yourself with some possible debuffs.
Fear, Malaise, and Disorient to name a few are good debuffs in PvP.
Equipping uppercut to knock the opponent in the air, or tractor beam's advantage will keep melee's at a safe distance.
As for ranged dps, the knock counter is likely not an effective tactic as being in close proximity is not an issue for them. In that case, I would focus on the damage debuffs I had mentioned earlier.
I usually seem to survive pretty well in pvp against both melee and ranged players so my chance of surviving can't be that low. I actually survive better now than I did when I used wardicator, and the times I have died in pvp with this build looked like pretty close fights to me. I already had some debuffs and I made a few changes today but I haven't tested them in pvp yet.
