Yeah, a properly played Protection warrior in PvP is essentially a constant crowd control: Disarming, stunning, interrupting, dispelling, spell reflecting, etc.
It's possible to fill that role even now in a limited capacity, but with Wrath, it becomes quite a bit easier, with more utility effects and more importantly, burst damage. A warrior can get there now, but it requires a very rigid gear set that emphasizes block value.
With the change to the STR-to-BV conversion, a Protection warrior can use a pure PvP-set -- with all the resilience benefits it confers -- without losing the burst.
