Too bad for you Blizzard said they had a place in PvP. Many games have uses for tanks in PvP, just because you think its dumb because you can't imagine a class playing a different way besides BURSTHIMDOWNQUICK doesn't mean you're right, not everyone finds it fun to be a glass cannon or a healer who depends on those glass cannons to survive.
Quit shoving your opinion down other peoples throats.
You're worse than Street Corner Baptists...
This. I had alotta fun with Prot PvP, when I actually cared to pvp.
I remember in the 50's bracket one-shotting gnomes with my Avenger's Shield...
Good times... good times....

That is not what blizzard has said & so far protection was the only spec paladins had a chance to reach decent rating with if they wanted to fill the role of damage because retribution is horribly fucked up at 85 in pvp.
As for paladin pvp it is to be expected though, Kalgan & many of his supporters inlcuding the team responsible for paladin design have stated in the past that if paladins are going to pvp they personally feel they should have to do so as holy, for some reason though they are happy to let other classes have multiple pvp viable trees (if at least in theory).
As I have said many times as long as the paladin design team we have is the one making the designs and so long as GhostCrawler & them cannot see eye to eye on a consensual design for paladins (retribution in particular) there will never be a paladin spec other then holy they intentionally make pvp viable. If you do not believe me look at blue posts regarding pvp balance.

Well we are certainly more balanced for pvp as prot then we are as ret at least, Mainly because so much of our damage is holy & we are not completely balanced around uncontrollable RNG for our survivability, offensive potential & resource generation.
The way balancing for WOW PVP works is allot like American politics.
1: Be lazy & ignore problems till the yelling is so loud your cant concentrate.
2: Refuse to do the things you have Said need to be done, then make up reasons why they cannot be done.
3: Lay the blame for problems on someone else even when it's your fault because you did all of the above.
sir i must thank you for my new sig. this made me lol so hard.
OT: this is a troll thread and probalby needs to get locked before this further devolves into a flame war which it seems to barely hovering over at the moment. Also i've been doing prot pvp since bc in prot pve specs, it has always had a place in pvp if you can work (against like, non glad people at least). i did quite a bit in arenas to before the massive buff to prot pvp. It was about knowing the spec and working it right.
