Hello!
I decided that I need a break from pve and wanna do some pvp. I got both pally and priest at 85 but they dont have any pvp gear.
In 4.0.6, what of disc priest and holy pally will have it easier in bgs/some arena?
For me it looks like disc will be very strong in 4.0.6, but there are still some people that doubts. Anyone got a clue why?
With the changes to divine plea, holy pally will be even stronger then now it seems. Will they triumph over disc?

The first piece of advice I can give you is to play what you prefer. If you are playing a class that you like you won't be tempted to reroll or regear another toon later on down the road.
Holy paladins have better healing overall and is a simpler class to play. Their mana regen is very strong and if you know how to cleanse you will be a strong holy paladin.
Disc priests have more utility and way less mana efficiency. With the patch they are getting buffed shields and penances which is nice but doesn't exactly help them regain their mana besides getting out of combat and drinking.
That being said I prefer disc priests over holy paladins. As a holy paladin you can really only healbot and cleanse in arenas/bgs. With a disc priest I can mind control, aoe fear, dispel, dps, mana burn, and heal all in one class. I feel like I make a bigger influence as a priest whereas when I played my holy paladin I would get bored while healing and start nitpicking my arena partners. In my opinion paladins rely on their partners being skilled enough to carry them whereas priests share the burden equally with their partners.

Disc priests are getting 8% or something mana every time a shield breaks or something, with 10something second cooldown.

Are the Priests still losing Mana Burn though?
That might affect the decision.
Priests aren't losing mana burn. Locks are losing drain mana tho.
