Fencer is good because of defense and stun baton, swordman can be awesome if you get near the speed cap, m brawler for intim 2, warcry 2, and lunge 2, plus + speed. pikeman is popular now and seems to be a fotm to me, the disease and fires are popular. Pistoleer/BH because of geo pistol with eyeshot. Rifleman because of jawa ion and strong mind hit.

All the melee classes are pretty good at pvp right now.
fencer - really good defenses/dodge. the only problem is your only viable damage types are kinetic and stun, and when someone has 39% stun armor plus a 40% stun psg it's hard to do damage. you'll need a good stun baton to be effective, and dots are a plus.
tk - probably the best profession to go up against jedi because of the toughness and good defenses. healing your own wounds with meditate is also nice. it also doesn't cost much to play one, all you need is a nice damage sliced VK. downsides are only one damage type, and like fencer the dmg output isn't great.
swordsman - hits the mind very hard, but you need a good power hammer and it helps a ton if you are speed capped. also probably the best profession if you want to solo nightsisters, but very expensive to play.
pikeman - at this point in the game most pikemen rely on their dots, especially fire with the recent poison/disease buffs and everyone having doctor. again this is another profession that relies mainly on its equipment, more so than the other 3.
Hope I could help with this rough outline, just based on my opinion and what I know.

Basicly any of the melee professions, Rifleman, and pistoleer (with the BH Pistol Line), can be good at pvp.
TKM- Great speed, accuracy, and dmg output. You can also target the mind, and have Meditate, Powerboost, and FOW. It is the best profession to use against a jedi, and CAN actually be better then fencer damage wise. Just get a 200+ dmg knuckler, throw on a PU, take some burnout sauce, and (using headhit) u can hit for 100+ dmg to ure enemies mind at the fastest attack speed in the game.
Fencer- Great defenses (best in the game) and has the bonus of having a stun weapon, which can cut right through people's armor, making this a very nice pvp profession. Unfortunately, if ure opponent has good stun armor, and a good psg, you might find ureself not doing alot of dmg to ure enemy.
Swordsman- Awesome dmg output. Just max out your speed, and u can dmg ure opponents mind very badly. Pair this with any other melee profession, or doctor, and u'll be well on ure way to doing well in pvp. This, along with rifleman, are also the 2 best pve professions.
Pikeman- By itself, it isnt really good at pvp. Get a 300+ dmg mind fire DOT though and you might always win. This profession really relies on DOT's to do well in pvp. How good ure DOT is reflects how well u'll do in pvp.
Rifleman- The BEST ranged profession for pvp, and one of the best pvp professions in the game. Nothing can match a rifleman's ability to deal out mind dmg. And if you utilize snipershot, u'll get credited with most of the deathblows in a raid.
Pistoleer+BH pistols- Grab yourself a good geo stun blaster, and use eye shot alot. You'll be doing almost as much mind dmg as a rifleman. Also had great defenses (2nd best next to fencer). Enough said
Carbineer- Exactly the same case as Pikeman. DOTS are the rule here.
Basicly any combat profession in the game, provided the player plays the profession right and has the propper equipment, can be the best pvp profession. Hope this helps.
