    New to PVP - How to deal with healers in 2's with Ret/Arms?

    We win a fair amount of games, but we got stuck around 1400 last season (both heavily undergeared at that point). Now that we've gained more than 1500 resil, it's time to work more on the strategy. Basically, Resto Druids seem ridiculously difficult to kill. Don't really know how to handle it at all unless the enemies are just awful. For the other 3 healers, we usually just split dps to put pressure on the healer to heal two people at once. Usually it's the ret on the healer and the warrior on the dps. Ret pops wings etc, stun near death if it's available to attempt to ensure the kill. Still, sometimes it's simply not enough and we lose. What can be done?

    Resto drooods attack the dps, pulling it LOS from the healers, drood comes to you, blow cooldown with stuns on druid with no HOTS on him, try pop a trinket before hand with a fear on him

    1500 resil?
    Go back to BGS and get 3500+ first.
    Then you'll be able to live through the intial burst of the other teams burst.. and then forumlate plans on killing healers.
    my honest opinion.

    Go farm a set of 371 gear, as a double DPS comp you can't afford to run around in blues.

    10 Hours of trolling a day makes the troll sadness go away.

    Both rush the kill target, do intimidating shout or repentance on the other (pref healer) pop CDs, repentance after intimidating shout or vice versa, throwdown the kill target and hammer of justice the trinket on the healer. If you get kited use freedom on you warrior and spam dispel yourself. Use WoG on the person who needs heals. If the opener fails turtle without letting the healer drink, same at the next set of CDs

    Seal of justice on resto druids could help.

    Don't split DPS at your rating/skill level. Just zerg healers every day. Throw random shit on the enemy DPS (e.g. repentance, intimi shout) while shitting all over healer with wings and guardian and recklessness up as soon as you think you will both be on target for more than 5 seconds.

    dem 1400 healers should flop right over without too much trouble. Do their partners even know how to peel at 1400?

    This is the tactics, which is an advanced explanation of my basica tacs, the only thing i have to point out is that you probally wont survive long enough for all the warriors cooldowns to come back up before they score a kill on you.. just sayin So.. if you fail your opener, the chances of scoring a kill is near to nothing.
