Bull#$%&. We last 12 seconds longer than any other class IF shield is up. If it's down, we die as fast as anyone else, if not faster than any other healer due to a lack of a decent fast heal or defensive spell besides shield.

12 seconds is forever in pvp. Sure you can't attack... but you can heal. Hell. The extra 2-4 seconds that you might last due to having an extra 1k hp (over rogues/casters) or so is significant as hell in my opinion. Everything happens so fast in pvp that an extra second or two of survivability goes a long way. Look at the epic pvp gear.: tends to give classes an extra 1-1.5k hps that they normally wouldn't have in tier1 epics, it's only 1 or two extra seconds of life when being focus fired, but I've always found it makes a huge difference. Especially in things like WSG/AB where focus firing and outlasting are key. Yes these arguments only apply to group pvp... but then again I don't think people would argue that godshields aren't useful in smaller scale/1v1 pvp encounters
