according to everyone pallys suck at PVP
I don't know who you've been asking, but they can't have been too experienced.
Holy paladins are superb healers and can be pivotal to any arena team. Ret paladins continue to unleash devastating burst damage on targets despite the resilience and health statistics being on the rise. Hammer of justice, judgement of justice and blessing of freedom in the hands of an experienced paladin can really ruin your opponent's plans.
Paladins are excellent in PVP.

Holy Paladins used to be very hot when Arenas first came out and were often paired up with Warlocks and Warriors. Nowadays, they've been replaced by Resto Druids and Disc/Holy Priests, 2 classes that arguably have more survivability and have HoTs. Paladins are easily shut down and are extremely susceptible to Mana Burn/Drain Mana. They're great for 5v5, as they won't run out of mana and the team strengths can make up for the Paladin not getting shut down all the time.
Retribution Paladins aren't bad, but are very much looked down upon and ridiculed by the player-base. Their Mana pools aren't very large, and when Mana-Burned/Drained, or OOM, are almost worthless. They have less HP, less damage, and less sustainability when compared to a Warrior.

Paladins are actually pretty damn good - Good group utility, quite good DPS and dont forget, awesome survivability.
However, Paladins are rather about sustainability (bubble heal etc.) and most of their DPS comes from auto-attack, which is why some think they arent as good as say a rogue, who's power comes from surprising the enemy and finishing them quickly within one short burst.
