This shouldn't be in this forum. But both are useful in PvP. Backfire is probably the more all-around useful skill, Energy Burn is usually only carried on an energy-denial specific character.

In the 4v4 arenas, backfire would probably be better with a cover hex, but in 8v8, hex removal is abundant enough that energy burn would be much more useful than backfire

Energy burn - it takes skill to dodge energy burn. Any gimp with reasonable hex removal can get out from backfire (if need be at some pain), and if you come against an all warrior build, or a warrior + boon prot build backfire is going to be useless.

It depends upon the build and the setting in which you play in. Energy Burn is great in an energy denial build, and Backfire is good in a shutdown/pressure build. Both have their uses and neither are bad skills.
