As for your 180k hits, I'm fairly sure resistance/armor/dr% and monk/barb bonuses would significantly reduce that to a manageable hit. When people gear for PvP they will probably put more emphasis on CC reduction, defensive stats + loh/regen to survive, instead of being a 180k glass cannon that gets CCed and two shot. My monk could probably pop Serenity and kill someone in the 4 seconds before it drops if all they did was stack dps, players will adapt to things like this if they want to pvp.
