So how much
resilience
do we need for serious PvP? for BG? for 2v2 with Arms? for 5v5 melee cleave with holy pally healer?
What's the balance?
Do we take less
Res
for
Burst
or do we sacrifice straight
Burst
, stacking
Res
?
Getting really contradicting opinions on this one. So where's the truth?

What you want depends on how and what you play.
I play Arena with Arms warrior. I also play 5v5 melee team with paladin healer (not me). I also occasionally jump in random battlegrounds. I also want to have reasonable chances in 1v1s against other melees. I currently have about 950 Res and about 5000 AP with 251 level weapon.
All I want is to get an answer to my question. You see, I would have stacked Res cap if I wanted to, but I have the feeling that I would lose all my burst then.

Just take PvP gear and gem it for strength. However much Resilience you get from doing that is enough.

lol im on a 2vs2 areana team...im affliction lock and i have 1k res...my partner is a beast ret pally...zero res but 251+raid gear....we pretty much destroy everything we come across so far....but we havent done enough arenas to get over 1k rank yet....so it remains to be seen how it all works out

Also, my advice would be dont ever gem for resilience instead gem for raw damage

That's what I've been doing so far. The problem is that for example
this
guide in stickies says different things. Like that I should use PvP enchants and res gems. This especially catches me questioning if I get injured greatly by some Arms Warrior just whirlwinding around me.
zero res but 251+raid gear....
Very interesting, but from my experience is also very risky. If he gets focused, he'll feel bad.
Good Luck, my friend :)
Thank you :) But honestly the more I play the more I get feeling that Rets now have harder and harder time fighting off the opponents. Or maybe it's just my Saurfang lvl251 axe sucks among all those Brintrolls and 1800 weapons. I don't know..

Looks a lot like saying I like to drive slow, fast, aggressive, casually. I like to race, nascar, drift and drag. What's the best engine for my car?
I see. Well, I should have mentioned only my arena experience then. I've never thought of optimizing gear around BGs. I wanted to hear some main principles that all serious PvPing (='playing arena' to me) ret paladins use in their gearing. Preferably in numbers based form specifically for Resilience/Damage balance.

Pezz got it right on, all the resilience you need will come from armor, cloaks, rings, neck, trinekts. Same thing with Stam, all you need is what comes on the gear.

Well, I'm going to follow
this
guide for now anyway.
