You need +20something in 2handed speed SEA's in order to cap a 5.4 spd PH with all of your specials.
I personally prefer to use either a two-handed axe, for its accuracy, or my powerhammer while under the influence of some +40 accuracy food

+93 is the minimum needed speed to cap with a 5.3 speed PH. so you'd need +18 in mods, or master brawler and +13 in mods.

If you only have master swordsman and not master brawler, do you use a Scythe more in PvP since its more accurate and faster. I bought a lot of skill tapes that gives me atotal of 155 accuracy, andI will come close to 90 speed. My powerhammer has -23 accuracy mods, should I attempt to use the powerhammer or stick with the Scythe in PvP. Also, my hammer has 5.4 speed, will i speed cap with 90 speed mods.

being a pike/MHS i use a LVA for the kd/dizzy combo then i switch to my PH w/ range mods of-7/-8/-7(any master WS can make them, just need to put exp points towards accuracy)...dmg suffers a little bit, but w/ a pwr-up or good dmg slice ur GTG...add on some accuracy food, master brawler, and some SPD SEA's, u'll hold ur own...(intimidate2 rocks!!)
w/ almost every1 owning a set of 80% kinetic composite(at least), i find myself doing way less dmg w/ my scythe(even w/ 450+max dmg @2.2 spd), than i do w/ my PH...
i say, duel a friend, try em both out, and see for urself....depending on ur build ur results may differ greatly from mine....oh, and alot of people have been using heavy axes for PvP also(better accuracy and spd than the PH)....

Headhit3 with my 850 acklay PH causes about 300-400 dmg to rm/cm througharmor first time i tested it last night so not fully accurate or know what it would do to melee

Same.. HeadHit3 with a 863 max damage acklay PH does about 300-500 against an armored target, if KD'd I can hit them for around 600-700. Unarmored, doesn't matter if they have melee mitigation III or not, its three shots at the absolute max, sometimes one, average is two hits, 1200 damage is not unheard of with headhit3 on an unarmored person. (I <3 Acklay power hammers)

It really depends on who Im fighting. If I am fighting a ranged opponent, someone with a carbine, rifle, or pistol, or even Bounty Hunter or Commando, Ill go with my Power Hammer, since they dont have that great defense. If its a melee opponent, well, specifically if its a fencer, Ill get my 344 max damage cleaver out.

IVe got a macro for PvP that uses the gamoran/grooved 2handed .... It switches between both and sends out a lunge1. It works realy nice but gets me noticed in big fights alot faster. But for the most part I use my power hammer... Evreyone and their mother has 80%+ kinetic composite on my server (cuz the TKM influx). So id much rather deal with 60% resists than 80% ......just start stocking up on slotted armor and accuracy attachments.

This was mentioned, but I want to reinforce it because it's an important consideration. Many, if not most, of the players you will fight wear high kinetic-resist armor. That makes the Scythe a less than optimal choice. I would use a power hammer, as players are much more vulnerable to blast damage.
