Rated PvP is different, but the games still heavily based around "who's CD's are stronger" right now. If you're after a plate DPS for solo queuing in random BG's, go with a Ret paladin, where every other class lost a lot of utility, ret mostly kept theirs and they haven't been penalized damage wise because of it. Frost DK's are also a very strong candidate, though i believe they're getting nerfed relatively soon, and they're not as durable as a Ret is.
