I do keep some extra gear pieces with int and +healing on them for BGs, but basically I am a typical prot pally. Anyway, I just won an AB and topped the healing charts for Horde and it was great fun.

I enjoyed laughing at the Alliance as I healed up my teammates (mostly a 69 warrior although a few other hordies got tossed heals once or twice as well) and then realized I could keep laughing when the hunters and rogues eventually came after me. Pushing 9,000 health self buffed with all kinds of armor meant that even after their 69 rogue had me stunlocked for a good 15-20 seconds I was only down to about 5,000.

I have to figure out what to do with this toon when I hit 70. My 4 real life friends need me to tank, but I might respec holy for pvp. Then again if BGs as prot are this entertaining, why switch? I wonder how different things would be as holy (assuming I use the same pvp healing gear). Less health and better heals? No holy shield for rogues and warriors who don’t realize I’m wearing tank googles? Holy shock instead of avenger’s shield? I see where the extra healing would be needed in really competitive arena play, but for BGs?
