    I don't get it. There's no tanking in PvP.

    QFT.

    You can't call attacking in PvP tanking. Tanking = PVE. Or PVPVE - but we only have alterac for that.

    4k resil and still getting hit for 28k. So much for lower pvp damage in cata.

    Not really. PvP has "tanking" of a different sense, in that things focus you and try to kill you. You can't "Taunt" off, but the best examples of said "tanks" are usually healers (or the good ol' SL/SL lock from TBC). Things that can usually take a beating with everything focussed on them.

    Unfortunately, even 4k resil isn't enough this time around it seems. At least, not yet.

    Absolutely, especially when you're in almost 4k resil and you get drilled from 100-0 in around 3 seconds by an unfearable target. Disc Priests have always had to tank to a certain extent, Pyschic Scream is our only escape (minus being Goblin) and unless you're teamed with a Frost Mage peels can't be constant.

    That's what I said. People are dying just as fast as they were in wotlk. The only difference is if we flash heal we go oom in 20 seconds, if we GH we put a sign on our head that says "I'm casting a big, slow heal, look at me and interupt me", and relying on instant spells is like using a siv as a bail bucket.

    28k still seems pretty low, espeically when i see ppl running around with 130k 150k plus health. Its not instant, and if you look the warrior goes back to hitting for 4k to12k and a crit for almost 18k. Its seems like an fury warrior using Enrage and Raging Blow with Unshackled Fury, their mastery - http://db.mmo-champion.com/s/76856.

    If you look at the timestamps, all the damage happened in two seconds. That's less time than it takes to cast a Greater Heal, which heals for 25k-ish?

    yeah, it's so hard to root/stun/soothe warrior when he goes all that flashy things as bloodlust, enrages and so on. Oh, you don't have any stuns/roots/soothes ? your problem, deal with it

    Disc does not have any stun, roots or soothe spell, as you pointed out. And these spells either have A) cooldowns B) cast times. Or both.

    The fact is, OP got hit for 101152 damage over 2 seconds.

    Thats what you get for wearing napkins to a sword fight : )
    OT: even as a warrior I think that is far too much damage output against a 4k resil target, but its ok blizzard will fix this by nerfing our mobility and buffing our damage... oh wait.....
    Are you guys ready for clunkier gameplay, a lower skill cap for warriors and more insta gibs after blizzard "fixes" warriorrs next patch?!?!?!? .... I'm not I'd rather reroll than play fury which is what they seem to be driving us to.

    So what you're saying is that we should be able to keep a Fury warrior stunned/rooted/cc'd for the entire duration of the game, and he can't be given 3 seconds on a single target?

    Sorry, my twos comp doesn't include a mage.

    I dealt with it incredibly well, as you can see I had time to cast a prayer of mending before I died.

    Thanks for your flawless logic.

    Edit: Just to clarify, this isn't a dig at warriors, although Fury burst is ridiculous at the moment. Simply a chronicle of how woeful Disc is at the moment. Surely you'd agree that I was clearly outskilled and outplayed by the above combat log.

    So you're implying that 110k~ of activated (controllable) burst is fine. Show me a 2s comp without a mage that can control a warrior on the healer for the entire duration of a fight, and by entire duration, I mean entire duration - cannot let the warrior get on the healer for a 3s. Comp was Paladin/Warrior by the way.
