Are there large battles or just 8v8? That said, I wouldn't bother PvPing in a MMO that wasn't explicitly designed with endgame PvP in mind.

It is some of the worst PVP I have ever played in an MMO. Some of the design decisions are so bad it's truly amazing. It makes WAR look like a professional game designed by people who knew what they were doing.
For instance, they create a BG that is effectively 90% of the PVP experience for anyone on the sith side...and then create a class that gets every single tool in the book to dominate that BG, bar none. Let's create a BG that is all about control and movement and then give one class chainable knockbacks, charges, stuns, snares, sprints AND stealth.
And then let's also make that class use force, a power type that can't be stopped by any of the immunity buttons classes get. So not only can they ping you everywhere all over the map, you can't even go immune to it for 3 seconds every two minutes. But they, on the other hand, can go 100% immunte to all tech attacks using their ability. So there is literally no way to avoid their CC, which they have 5x as much as any other class. Plus the same DPS and survivability.
It's really funny getting into a huttball match these days and seeing the opposing team is literally 7/8 sith inquisitors.

I was in a hutball over the weekend on my level 11 Jedi Sent and the highest level on our team was 18. We were up against a full team of 40+, mostly SI's. We had our asses kicked so hard it wasn't funny. That is one instance where the bolster system fails because of the disparity of abilities.

The bolster system is just one more idea that sounded good prior to release. PvP is Fubar.
In the end we have a game that one May run through it 8 times for the stories, Or Not. It is a good solo rpg that has some options to boost the HP for group quests. I really do not think the stories can hold me for 8 runs through the same lands with the same side quests.
Still, it is worth the bucks because some of the stories and quests are a hoot!
Who knows they might even add something interesting. I am not holding my breath but they could.
