Well I wouldn't use it for pvm period. Elves/Humans are the best for that since you can ride a swampy.
But pvp it could be a useful tank mage or melee/throwing dexer (swords to negate the close range HCI penalty)
I wouldn't go imbuing anything for it just yet though. Next publish they're suppose to be able to wear sashes and glasses so you might want to wait to suit him up.
Weapon wise I like to use the sword of shatter hope's. It has a 20% chance to bleed your target and cripple them for the bleed duration. So that gives you plenty of time to do whatever you want to your target. Dismount chain AI's w/e. Oh, don't be a newbie put resists on your character
