PvP - melee completely useless?

Hey all,

So I'm big on PvP and was bummed that open world PvP was not going to be in Prime, but I figured there is still battlegrounds so I can scratch that itch. Currently enjoying playing a Rogue Bladedancer, but I jumped into PvP and it seems melee is utterly useless. Ranged burns everything down before you can do much at all in melee. Is ranged the only viable option for PvP? Is this just a low-level thing and it balances out at level cap? If ranged is the meta, any recommendations on Rogue ranged PvP builds?

Thanks.
