Yes, it is good for pvp, if you are in a group. The dps classes do all the killing, you heal and counter the other team's casters with your dispels. On alliance side, priests are the only class who can dispel enemies, so we are a fantastic addition to any BG group.

In 1v1 situations, holy priest is not good. You have to adopt a different strategy for this as compared to dps classes. You do not have any burst damage, so you must take a reactionary approach. Keep yourself alive with bubbles, renews, and healing, while keeping SWP up on your opponent and fearing them every time psychic scream is up. When they're feared, heal up and then hit them with MB or Smite. Continuously dispel, both offensively and defensively, if you are facing a caster. If you are facing an undead opponent or a warrior, fear them immediately so they have to burn will of the forsaken or whatever other fear breaking ability they have so that in 30 seconds you can fear them again and they have no counter to it.

You have to be able to absorb their burst damage while slowly chipping away at their health bar.

If your attacker does not disengage and leave you alone, you can kill them, but usually you are fighting for a draw which, for a holy priest, is a win.
