I am sorry my friend, but if you want to PvP, commando is definitely not for you.
It has been said so many times about commando's deficiency at PvP, so I will not repeat again. Just trust us. You won't regret.
And hence why you will not find a commando PvP guide. Commando just isn't a PvP profession.

OK am i the only one that does PvP then??? 
naaa what has been said is all true... I do duels only... and i know i'm going to die b4 i duel... for me, it's about trying to do as much dmg as possable (my own little goal in PvP) and i only do is if i'm buffed (just to make it last a bit longer hehe)

Altho i should add I have won duels with non-master ranged enemys... altho the win to lose ratio is laughable 
if it's a master i can forget wining anything.

Use your surroundings, cause you have 10 seconds of "me time" with whomever you missed. If you're in the med center, or a guild hall, take the elevator. By the time your opponent knows where you've gone, that's half the delay right there.
PVP against some one who doesn't defense stack, you've got a good chance of taking them down in one hit, but it's still very low. NEVER go against TKA, or riflemen.. Or. MBH.. or pistoleers.. or.. carbineers.. uh.. Dancers you can take down, sometimes.. Uh.. Oh.. Take on a pure smuggler. None of that MS/MP or TKM..

PVP against some one who doesn't defense stack
Unfortunately, thats almost non-existant in PvP anymore...unless if you stack, you won't last long in PvP (especially GCW PvP)...
With all the professions with High Dmg/Accuracy/Defenses....commando is totally worthless...even as a support role. Earlier today I was involved in a bit of PvP....instantly got mind poision from a MCM, then tanked by 2 Master Hvy Swordsmen..and died without ever landing a DoT (I was one of the last to die, as I was behing everyone firing off flamesingles....I estimate a good 6 specials -- and thats how long the battle lasted)
Though, the swordsmen didnt get me....it was the 500 mind wounds, and the riflemen in the support area of the enemy ranks that actually got me....
We're no good as front line soldiers...and no good for support - especially when we cant hit stackers....I ask the devs...what is our purpose?
At least with those swordsmen, they can tank in PvP and let the support guys take out the target (as what happened to me)..me? heh, we can't tank either..unless if we get TKM or at least TKA specials...

All flamers with special can flame DoT...unless if you mean by dot flamer...one that has a health/poision/etc dot which can be put on enemies with just a simple /attack...
Anyways, even with foods...its disheartening to know thatusing food, some professions have more accuracy...or same amount of accuracy than you, without using food....
However, my above post...I used snow-cake which gave me +38 accuracy, 2 shots of brandy, and 1 synthsteak with 38% decrease in damage...and still didnt even lay a shot on them....

I did try to find out about any possible good tactics for PvP with my commando.
I failed miserably.
Commando, at this point of time, is just utterly broken, andit is by far a complete waste of skill point investment, if you want to do some PvP. Putting 169 points for master, only to have one working weapon that has very slow speed, very ineffective DoT, crap damage due to armor resists, and the fact that we have to use it in melee range... all this make commando pretty much useless in PvP.
Go commando if you want to flame cone Mokk/Jantas all day. At least, you will feel better there. ^_^
