You've defined "success" as doing the top damage. Is that your objective in PvP? I find it more successful to obtain objectives and standing in one place for very long doesn't facilitate that.
You're also describing range burst DPS as Turret PvP and arguing that the entire combat system is built around this. That's 1 of many tactics. Of course, it's going to work for ranged DPS against an oblivious target. Sages, Sorcerers, Snipers, Gunslingers do this all day long as well.
