So, I used Werewolf in Cyrodiil today...

Well, I sort of did. I spent about 30-40 minutes PvPing in Cyrodiil, and I didn't get to use the form at all, not even once.
About 20 minutes in I got to 80% ultimate points, but I had died (These points were accumulated by nearly constant PvPing and some PvE in Cyrodiil). I have Blood Rage at max level, Banish the Wicked, and even morphed my form to Pack Leader to increase Ultimate gain, but after 20 minutes I only got to 80%. My Ultimate cost also is only 925 due to being higher than the first level.
So I die. On the way back to where I was, my ultimate points reset to 0. Now, I'm not sure if this is a feature or a bug, the whole resetting of ultimates. A guildie claimed that the WW ultimate just resets because it's intended to, yet this has happened on all of my ultimate before, and at completely random points.
So, I can't even really judge if the actual form is useful in PvP or not. As of right now, it's essentially useless. You NEVER get enough ultimate to even use the thing. The skill-line needs to be completely revamped, not just small adjustments like an ultimate-cost decrease, but revamped completely. It's fine in PvE, where things are predictable and you have a constant flow of Ultimate and can plan when you are safe to feed. But in PvP? You just don't get the ultimate to even use the ability.
The form would be better if the passives actually affected you while out of WW form (Passives would have to be nerfed accordingly). This is why Vampires are much better than the werewolves, because outside of their ultimate they get tons of benefits. While werewolves get nerfed outside of theirs, and the ultimate lasts around 2-3 minutes IF you feed properly. While vampires benefits are on all the time.
Whatever team was charged with creating the werewolf really did not put a lot of thought into it what-so-ever.
Something I did accomplish though, was allowing everyone with a bow to kill me much faster due to poison damage. And there are A LOT of people in PvP with bows, myself included.
