How to Pvp properly?

Everyone says I/L mages are supposed to be boss at PVP, but I'm absolutely rubbish at it. I score an average of about 300-400 points/match and at this rate, it'll take me forever to get a single gallant emblem. As soon as I go down onto the field, I die after about 10 seconds from cannoneers, mercedes flying around and basically every other class kills me before i have a chance to do anything to them >_>.

I try and seal them first, but most of the time it doesn't seem to work. It seems like I can cast CL every 3 seconds or so and IS has a cooldown. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Alright, thanks! By the way, are buffs actually necessary? Like MG, Medi, Spell Booster etc, because I don't seem to see a difference :S

Also, will 1 point in BB be sufficient?

Wait until there's a mob below you, charge BB, release it, IS instantly after that, then GC or CL until you die is what I do.

Get one on bb. Have ur summon out at all times. IS in a mob, then seal. That will prevent ppl from running away while u chain them death. Use glacier chain and ice demon whenever possible for dot damage.

charge bb> jump into mob> release bb> ice strike> CL spam (or if there are safe platforms available teleport to it and blizzard)
glacial chain's hitbox is super linear so you MUST be on the same level as your targets other wise it'll miss

get a lot of battle attack
I/Ls have a lot of freezing moves.. take advantage of that
