Is glass cannon just the way to go now?

I recently started playing again, for reference the last time I played pvp seriously was during Greymoor. This is also my first time pvping with the new CP system, and it just feels like I die instantly now. I never got insta-gibbed/ganked using my same build in Greymoor unless it was by a nightblade that was truly geared out to gank, and even then it was rare. I'm talking like 20k + resists, 2000+ crit resist, 27k health. I guess by todays standards this is probably too low? The amount of defense lost with the new CP system is insane, and I am really feeling it.

I'm re-adjusting my build, and I'm at a point now where it doesn't even make sense to try to make defensive gear decisions unless you go all-in on defense. Do I just embrace the insta-gib meta and go double damage sets?

I feel like this is the worst pvp has ever felt.

A few days ago I saw a player that I remember being an absolute beast in battle grounds (been a while since I saw him) and he was right in front of me with full health... no lie, he ran into three opposing players and he got DELETED in one second. I didn't even see what hit him. That's how real it is out there right now.

Yeah I don't think Glass Cannon is a good idea for Brawlers in Solo Queue BGs right now, it's just too quick. What little Group Queue I've played this patch was surprisingly slow on the other hand, with most players near 2m in Healing or Damage.

As for Dueling, I think one should build to win the fight in 2 or 3 GCDs.
