APART FROM WARRIORS which dps class has the most survilibility? The reason I am asking is because I want to play with that class in 2s (and I am a warrior that can't die)

Ret paladin.
Shadow priest ?!? All it takes is a warrior/dk to the face and the shadow priest is nothing.
how do you come to that conclusion? Should be DK multiple spell bubbles, 3 interrupts, stuns, heals for runic power, deathstrike for health and bubble, melee reduction,
get a shadow priest in a corner when his dispersion is on cooldown he's done for. ret pally i dont really see how you got that one... would like to know.
Multiple spell bubbles. Not really, just one. The other is a talent and a bad choice at that.
3 interrupts. I guess but then casters aren't really a major threat for dks.
Heals for runic power. Ok, assuming your Lichborne is not on cd + you have a full runic power bar + the opponent is dumb enough to leave you alone for 5 seconds.
Deathstrike for health and bubble. Deathstrike is only worth being on the action bar if you're blood and blood sucks ass at pvp unless you only fight rogues and stupid warriors.
Melee reduction. Huh ?

The ret paladin is basically a healer who has some bursty damage. You are capable of outlasting anything that doesn't excel at kiting you, provided you play smart ofcourse and not like a pure dps class.
DK's are actually very squishy and don't offer any off healing to their teammates. Deathstrike for health really isn't an option for a DK with a DPS partner due to the fact that you lose runes which forfeit your offensive pressure to end the game fast.
The burst in this game is huge right now that a DK pretty much has to use Death Pact/Lichborne/icbound fortitude/Anti Magic shell all in a quick succession to even survive. Unlike some other classes, DK healing is all cooldown based. You knock off the DK's cooldowns, and he's a dead target. Glass cannon class is a glass cannon.
A Shadow Priest will make an excellent caster partner for a Warrior and an off healer. Warriors can peel very well with shockwave, which gives the Shadow Priest breathing room to put Dots up and heal. Flash Heal actually heals for a lot and I believe a very good Shadow Priest can make it work with Power Word Shield. Not to mention Physic Scream. That along with intimidating shout with the Warriors disarm is very good.
This. Spriests are basically immortal, over all non-healer specs I would say they have the highest survivability. Between shields, self-healing, fade-kiting, phantasm or whatever thats called, dispersion, they can grab psyfiend and lol-fear even warriors to dr while they flash heal spam.
Shadowpriests until they nerf it. Currently its so insanely OP that its just sad.
+1
Whomever thought it was a good idea to give them the ability to cast renew / PoM while in shadowform need to be shot. Let alone they can bubble themselves for 50k (or whatever the value is) , root you , have 2 fears, all the while they can pop out of shadowform and heal themselves to full. Boomies are almost on their level as well being able to cause rejuv and such in Boomkin form...
I laugh that all people do is complain about warriors because they can pop cooldowns and get a couple kills every 3 minutes and they haven't learned how to kill a warrior through Second Wind...
I would rank them as follows:
Destro lock: ultimate survivability at the heavy expense of damage. Arguably better than warriors.
Shadowpriest: above average survivability, but only when not getting bursted. Offheals are great but can be countered.
Frost mage: Best defense is a good offense. And novas.
Ele shaman: similar to shadowpriest - less heals but better against melee/burst.
After seeing damage numbers, Blood DK for sure.

spam fel flame. Tradeoff is you won't be able to cast chaos bolt.
Shadowpriests like stated before, but as a Holy Paladin I feel I can last a fairly long time.
Hahaha I totally agree +1
