Your understanding of the new formula is correct.
The rest of your questions don't really have a clear answer yet because there aren't really any low-mid level players fighting in pvp on the beta, so that stuff isn't going to get figured out until after the eoc update comes out.
On paper, I'm pretty sure that 1 def pures are toast because 990 lp just isn't going to be enough anymore. On top of that, your max lp affects how much healing you get from food, so someone with more def is going to be able to hang in there and take the extra damage that someone with less def/more strength can dish out. There's probably some magic number that will give you a better chance than the other guy, but I wouldn't know what it is.
