My experience from PvP as a melee'er and dedicated carbineer shown the following:
Intimidate's main effect is reducing the damage of the person intimidated considerably.
Stun will reduce the defence of a player considerably, maybe DPS a tiny amount. Reason I know this because as a smuggler / pistoleer once I landed a stun on a defence stacker (before the nerf) I'd hit them 3 times more often then without.
Blind will reduce the blinded person's accuracy considerably. From hitting 50% of the time as a carbineer / BH at a fencer who was toe to toe with me, then being blinded and only landing 5% of attacks, think proves this.
Also I've been playing 10 or 11 months.

Intimidate: lowers the damage output of the target, lowers attack speed and reduces defences somewhat
Stun: Cuts targets defences in half.
Blind: Lowers targets accuracy
Playing time: over a year

Intimidate - decreases damage by 50%.
Stun - decreases damage by approx. 20%, seriously decreses ranged / melee defense (was nice during the old defense stacking), not sure about the secondary defenses though.
Blind - decreases accuracy, I'd definitely like to know a precise number on this one.
I've been playing since August.

Intimidate, stun, and blind all seem to be very similar, with their major component being a reduced accuracy.
Honestly, in my experience, stun is pretty much useless, with blind being only marginally useful. Intimidate can be pretty handy at times
I've been playing for about 12 months now

Intimidate effectivly reduces the damage that the target can do (by about 0.5).
Stun reduces the target's defense to damage.
Blind decreases the target's accuracy.
I have been playing for about 10 or 11 months.

I am getting ready to write up a post for the Devs and I need a bit of research info. Answer for me what you think Stun, Blind and Intimidatedo based on your in game experience. Please though, if you remember the answer from the 19 questions a few weeks ago, do not answer. I want to know what people think it does based on in game experience. And please, do not read other players responses before you reply. Decide right now what you think it does, hit reply and answer.
What does Intimidate do?
Allows the intimidator an extra attack.
What does Stun do?
Makes it so my specials land easier and I think it reduces the stunned persons defense.
What does Blind do?
Makes accuracy go down
How many months have you been playing?
12 but the first 5 crafting

What does Intimidate do? Seems to drastically lower damage-per-hit from the intimidated MOB.
What does Stun do? Seems to either lower damage-per-hit, or increase delay between hits, or both. It certainly makes MOBs do less damage to me.
What does Blind do? Seems to reduce the MOBs accuracy, so that they miss me more often.
How many months have you been playing? 8 months or so, off and on. Still waiting on the mythical "Combat Balance"...
