Protection pvp IS amazing but it's too hard to break the habit once you've tasted the glory that is bladestorm.
Protection gives us survivability which is much needed while at the same time giving us control over the situation with stun locks. Just make sure you keep up hamstring though cause that can be a real pain the in the butt forcing you to stance dance out of your beloved defensive stance.

I've been thinking about prot pvp ever since I saw the talents Warbringer and shield block.
Now that you describe how well it works, I'm getting kinda scared Blizz will nerf the crap out of the prot warr's dps somehow. I predict the dmg of our abilities will go down and that there will be more added threat to keep us viable as tanks.
I REALLY hope prot pvp will be and remain viable though, because it adds an alternative style of combat to pvp, aimed at preventing dmg to yourself and the group with a large toolbox of short lasting CC and mitigation abilities (such as the intervene debuff, shield wall, block etc)
Traditionally, each class only has one pvp spec I think. Could blizz possible be changing this to make pvp more interesting?
If Blizz makes 2 specs pvp viable per class, there would be no more cookie cutter pvp that goes like: "Ah it's a <class>! We just follow steps 1,2,3 etc and he/she's roast"

I've been drooling over the idea of Prot PvP ever since I checked out the Beta trees:
Warbringer
is a game-changer. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking how cool it will be to eat those damn mages for Breakfast... Glad to hear it works as well live as it does in my dreams.
Quick question, though: sounds like a lot of stance dancing. Is
Tactical Mastery
a requirement to make things work? It's always been part of any build where I have to react quickly to changing circumstances, but
now it's in the wrong tree!
Does Warbringer make it less of a must-have?

Reply to Quab:
Ofcourse, I forgot that some classes that can heal have got a pvp viable dps spec (shaman, priest... retridins are cannon fodder for the warrior's entertainment). Do you think the battles are more interesting when you don't instantly know what's running at you or is this insignificant?
oh yeah, and shield reflect for the win
i'm ACTUALLY considering, if resist all gear is viable in WOTLK, in getting 50-100 resist all. on top of 16% spell damage resist, natural +4% "miss rate" for spells on the prot warrior, and double shield reflects from talents,
Double shield reflect talents? I thought that was taken out, reducing spell reflect to 1 charge again. Or do you mean that with your whole party under spell reflect, there's a large chance multiple spells will be in mid-air, aimed at some team member when you put it up?

I like this thread.
Sorry now that I didn't read it earlier when I decided to start up my own topic about it but anyways...
Really shows prot-pvp has much future in the new expansion no doubt.

Yea I agree this of course means its time to go from a pure and lifetime PvP geared to hander over to a 1h/shield setup. gear change should be fun.
Virtually no more kiting lock downs.
Once you get reflect, silence, stun down to a Korean Starcraft player type form of art that will be all she wrote.

I've been loving this thread. I'm very curious as to what a PvP prot spec looks like though as I'm not that knowledgeable about PvP to put a nice spec together.
