I forgot, you asked about pvp, 'splork' mobs and 'chop' mobs.
pvp happens at most once a year, in the arena, for very nice prizes. It isn't worth creating a character specifically for that purpose.
'splork' mobs refer to any mob that dies on a stab or grip. In generally, referring to a mob as a splork means it has few enough hps that you should kill it right away.
A chop mob is a mob on lyme that is insanely thick. There are chop weapons on lyme that cause roughly 1/7th to 1/10th of the mob's max hps when the weapon procs. The group doesn't blast, you just blind and heal the tank. It's become less common with changes to xp rates. People frequently refer to a mob being a 'chop mob' if it's thick with little hps, because the group will hack it down without much blasting. In that sense, monk prime is one of the best because you can strike with no cost.
