I'm Not Very Good With Arcstrider. Any Tips on using Arc-Staff in PvP?

I'm going to be straight up here, I don't like Arc-Staff (Or Arcstrider as a whole) in PvP. It's great in PvE, it does crowd control far better than Bladedancer did. But when it comes to PvP, I think if we put a Year 3 Destiny 1 Bladedancer and an Arcstrider in the same series of PvP situations the Bladedancer would be more successful in all of them. That being said, we have Arcstrider in D2 and Bladedancer isn't coming back so I want to try and get better with it and hopefully I'll begin to like it. I've been using the bottom tree, and using dodges to get close to enemies (and occasionally the slam attack) but I never really see any success in this. At least one of these 3 things always happen to me when I use Arc-Staff: 1. I kill a person and get teamshot to death before I can dodge again 2. The team just backs up and teamshot me to death (or run if it's just 1 person) 3. I use my arc-staff as a way to distract the enemy team so my team can get the drop on them. I was also wondering how to challenge a FoH when you're both using your supers. Every time I challenge one I die before I can either hit the again or back off because of the aftershock. If anyone has some tips to best use the Arc-staff super then please let me know.

Stick with the basic 2 swipe combo. If you have the high ground, utilize the heavy ground slam to close the distance and wipe out a group of enemies close together. Enemies usually panic and freeze up when you land in front of them. Use either basic or force push combo. For roaming supers, try to get close and use the blade beam (used at the end).
