What is wrong with PVP? From a 4e DM view.

I have DM'ed 4e since it first came out. I made a Guardian Fighter a few weeks ago.
This is the view of a disgruntled Dwarf Guardian fighter.
In 99% of the matches its 1 of 2 scenarios.
scenario 1...you autowin because you vs a bot who literally does nothing but run in circles so it doesn't disconnect.
this is so boring....enjoy sitting there for 10 minutes with your thumb up your <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> to win vs a bot.
scenario 2...people using exploits or imbalanced powers make you miserable. its the opposite sensation you should get from a video game. not enjoyment, but misery. GJ devs... your pvp experience is on par with sticking a hot poker in my eyeball.
the game is won by clerics and rogues, with a dash of wizards.
I'm a Guardian fighter and here is what happens for me....no matter who I hit. I see a tiny sliver of their health bar go down, or perhaps no sliver at all. Do you devs know how big a sliver is? It's 1 <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> pixel wide!
Now for all the defense stats I have people tear through me like butter...giant chunks of my health disappear, and my guard gauge is destroyed in about 2 seconds. My wife plays a cleric and I see her at wills hit for about 3 times the damage of my at wills. Compound this with the astral shield and shes miles beyond my tanking ability, and miles beyond my damage.
Rogues.....They all use the same power. This move that dazes/stuns you. They get some recovery and literally repeat the same move over and over and keep you in a lock where you can NEVER use a power. Not to mention that my armor apparently does NOTHING to mitigate their damage while their dodges are more effective than my guard.
I'm a paying customer among a swarm of non- paying players. It's in your best interest to keep people like me happy.
Fix your game.

But that's not your job. Your job is to support the middle and disrupt the enemy, or run to the enemy-side flag and stubbonly refuse to budge until preferably 2 or 3 people come to shift you, thus freeing up the other two flags for your team. Be the big fat sack of hitpoints with annoying knockback & prone powers.
Not sure what the problem with your stats are. Are you putting too much into useless (for a GF) stuff like critical?

@60 if you are having issues 1v1 other classes you ether are very under geared, specced wrong, don't know how to play the class or just out played.
With you on bots or any actual exploits, but you truly don't know what you're talking about from a balance standpoint. A well built and played GF is a monster in endgame PvP.
My GWF, more often than not, takes the top spot. Sentinel spec, running 4/4 Titan's and stacking deflection like it's hot. Working good for me.
Also, what does DM'ing have to do with an MMO's PvP balance?
Just sayin'.
