Unless you pvp in very tight packs then Protection Warriors and Holy Priests are at a disadvantage
Are you saying that your players do well in battlegrounds pvp because your organisation is superior to disorganised players with cookie-cutter builds? Or are you simply saying you don't really care how you do in battlegrounds since you're optimising for PvE raiding
The latter: we're optimising for PvE raiding and forgoing thereby PvP effectivity.
What I meant with "there is no need to skill PvP to defend oneself", was referring to fact, that since the implementation of BGs there is little risk of being ganked out in the wilds anymore, therefore you don't need making compromises towards PvP to be able to go about your daily business.
If you opt for a PvP career, then yes PvE specs will put you on a serious disadvantage. This why the more ambitious guilds on our server are either clear cut PvE or PvP guilds. Dungeon crawl or battleground zerg, you have to chose where you want to excel. The PvP/PvE specializing schism is such. that a priest friend of mine is seriously twinking up a second priest char on the same server, just to have a shadow priest for PvPing as her first one is skilled holy/disc for PvE raiding. :blink:
