Also that link is a pile of shit, the first team is 3700 rated, did you even click it yourself? Then theres like 5 more russian wintraded teams.
I don't know why you mentioned PVP, but since you did and showed you obviously have a huge lack of information on the matter i kinda discredits your post. Sure, its shit in PVE, i'll give you that, but don't bother bringing PVP into it. Just because X Y and Z are overpowered in PVP, doesn't mean arms should be too. You've got it the wrong way round. X Y and Z should be nerfed to arms' level.
About pve, well, to be honest, i'm totally fine with it being terrible there. We have 1 pvp spec, 1 pve spec and 1 off pve spec. I don't blizzard shoving its pve dick into my arms spec and i don't want them shoving their pvp dick into my fury spec. Leave them the hell alone. Create 1 of each and make it perfect in those scenarios that its suited for. Stop trying to give everyone a slice of the same cake and hoping they all enjoy it. They failed with making tanks viable in PVP and then double failed with making every pve spec viable in pvp.
If i had 1 sentence i could send to ghostcrawler and holink and gaurentee they saw it it would be this: knock it the fuck off and stop trying to make everything viable in every single aspect of the game. Whats next, make fury a multidot spec? Make arms a healing spec? Not everything has to be like Inspector Gadget, infact, nothing should.
Edit: And not to shit all over your parade a second time but seriously, again, you're citing that link as your source of warriors being shit. The 7th team on there has a warrior 31-0 playing at 2600+ MMR (Source: i watch his bloody stream) Try filtering it to warriors and you'll get results more a kin to reality: 23 teams above 2500, 263 teams above 2200 with warriors in them. The post you linked is also scoring by rating. You realize that for example gladiator on Misery is much higher than on Vindication? You realize its impossible to get 2700 on many BGs purely because of the small amount of high rated teams queuing. You also have to take into consideration counter comps. X comp counters Y comp and X comp dominates BG1, so naturally BG1 will be filled with X comp and X comp's counters while BG2 will be filled with Y comp and Y comp's counters. I don't even know why i'm explaining this, i just feel like your post lacked substance so you threw in a link to try and give yourself some credibility
Oh well
