Well dueling and PvP are two different areas. What you wouldn't do in a duel, you would in PvP.
Well, assuming you're buffed and drugged;
Start off with Area attack 2. If you're lucky you can land both a stun and dizzy on the guy. Both are factors in winning as a pikeman.
If you land the states, use a KD move on the guy. Lunge 2 if you have it, sweep 1 if you don't.
Hopefully the guy is flopping on his butt at this point. Use an intimidate on the guy. I tend to either use intimidate right at the very start, or when the guy is on the ground. Its just my preference but I find intimidate sticks better when a guy is on his ass.
If the guys is dizzied good and still on the ground, spam a few spin attack 1s on him. They fire off real fast and are some good dps moves. If you get real lucky you can strengthen the dizzy on your foe.
Once the guy stands up, hit with PH3s until its time to KD again. Hopefully your duel wont last that long but if it does.
Repeat from the top every 30 seconds or so.
Hope that helps.
