Well think you are wrong here that is one of our strong side if played right ofc. Now I know there is many boomkin dont realy use all of our spells skill to survive and ofc also when to use it. If you look at what spell we have to survive this should be one of our strong side.Our real issue in pvp is with survivability.
Just to clear it out
Spell that help our survivabilityin pvp: ofc all our healing spells, root, shadowmeld(NE), entangling root, bash(Bear), cyclone, Travling form, typhoon, dash maim(cat) and starfall if spec with stun.
Starfall has the nice thing it work both in defence and offence spell. If everything is fuvk up and you are realy in the big shit you could use starfall as last way out and hope for the stun proc to either to get away or to heal. Not to recomend but,,,
Some of the spell or ability you rarly us but they are still there if needed,,,
So Blizzard have give us tools to survive now it is up to use to learn to use it. Yes some of them take times to learn to use it.
To say "Our real issue in pvp is with survivability" that just show how llittle you know your own class.
