Well my alt character is nearing master Carb...just 20k combat xp left, and have been partaking in a bit of pvp w/my guild anyway. Well it seems that I can't do any noticable damage, even after I tack on a dizzy/kd. Note I'm using a krayt enhanced elite, and most of the pvp sessions so far have been base defences so the opposing forces have been buffed and well armored so I'm not discouraged.
On a positive note I'm laying down massive stuns, dizzy's, blinds, and kd's. Maybe I need to be with a commando so he can mop up my victims w/ damage?

Thats the bane of Carbineer, it lacks a kill shot. Normally in 1v1 situations you can spam crippling shot abunch after you get them dizzy/kd. However in the larger fights you'll want your buddies to clean up the mess you make in the state department.

You have to remember that PvP damage is inherently a lot less than PvE damage... I can get around 400 damage on a single target using cripple shot ... that's a lot less than the 3k or so in PvE, but still a lot more than most people do in PvP.
Against groups, full auto area is around 150-200 damage or something, but multiply that by 5 targets and it's a whole lot of damage. 
You may not be able to land the killing blow, but a group with a carbineer will seriously out-damage a group without one.
