Yes, It is a little overpowered, but I have to say only in gank situations. 1v1 or 2v1 you can get around it. We have to be pragmatic here, as long as it's available, people are going to use it. But as Jason stated, there are plenty of options to stop spammers.
Admittedly, I use AI much more than I would like to, but I have to be realistic for a second. I'm a little more than a month old, most of my gear is hand me downs and I only have 2 weapons. Consequently, both of them have AI, mainly so I could adapt quickly to Pandora PvP and use the same weapons for PvM. As soon as I can get a different weapon (executioner's), I'm more than happy to give up AI in PvP for good. I think it's cheap and doesn't demonstrate PvP skill at all. Any moron can push a single button repeatedly or have a looped macro running, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. True skill is shown elsewhere.
