For high-end PvP, you won't play a n/w, especially not one that goes melee.

I've played against a couple of N/Ws on opposing teams in HoH that absolutely decimated some of our warriors...to be fair, I don't know how good of players those warriors were because they were in a friends guild that I was grouping with. But still.
Just compare most W/N with a N/W. Most W/N use gladiator armor. That's 80 al with energy bonus. A melee oriented necro would use tormentors with the 70 al (I think it's called that...). It's weak against holy damage...but there aren't a lot of smiting players in higher end PVP. And if there are, every class has a weak point.
So that leaves most W/N with only 10 more AL than a N/W. Now, a lot of W/N also use a focus in their offhand to get energy. N/W can use a shield. This puts the armor even closer, if not even.
Lastly, a lot of the W/Ns or any warriors I've grouped with usually use strength more often than tactics (as they should, it's their special ability). A smart N/W would utilize a bit of tactics (8 or so) for a good shield and defensive abilities.
Here's a quick N/W build I just came up with for a friend wanting to try it. So if it ends up not working, oh well. Gotta try something :P (skills I haven't looekd at yet.)
AFTER RUNES:
Axe 12 (everyone and their mom has used a n/w with swords, and it hasn't worked. Axes are higher damage, and have an area effect using mana to cost, which the N/W has extra. Also has disrupt).
Blood 12 (self explaining. This is what keeps them alive against a W 1 on 1)
Curses 8 (enough to make enfeeble and such last something like 13 seconds)
Tactics 8 (you can easily keep Watch Yourself up permanently, use better shields, and throw in Bonetti's defense)
Of course, as I said I made that for a friend, although I may try it as well. I'll edit it as I go along.
The biggest difference it appears between a W/N and a N/W is at the mid-uppermid levels where the armor is vastly different. The final armor, however, isn't much worse. In fact, the last necro armor has the same value as the last ranger armor. And no one complains about R/Ws not being useful.
*EDIT* Also, don't forget a lot of players are now using elemental damage for their weapons, illusion, etc. making the +physical of warrior armor not as good in PVP as in PVE. Of course, this is a double edged sword since some players use holy damage now as well

I know Sarus, I just mean for PvP. For PvE, I don't know enough about necro primary to offer advice.
PS: That wasn't mean =P
