Your DPS isn't so hot, and a real goal of mine is to burn your mana off so that you can't heal yourself. Then I play you like I would a warrior. You can still damage me without mana, but it's usually not enough for me to even worry about.
How to beat me: don't let me burn your mana. Obviously, get the largest 2-handed DPS weapon you can get, since a shield won't help you. Save your stuns for opportune moments, like when I try to heal myself. Dance around me - mana burn is a LONG cast spell and if you can screw up one of my casts of it, you just gained 3 free seconds of DPS on me with no response, not to mention saving your mana.

Can you get rid of a judgement I put on you? If I hit you with judgement of wisdom and run with seal of wisdom up with blessing of wisdom on I get about 30 mana per second back without looking at mana regen on my gear. So I do wonder if I can win a battle of attrition even though I would drop to about 7 mana/s without swinging at you (while I'm healing). I know mana burn is the killer and while SW:P is probably more mana than cleanse I'm only going to be running at about 4500-5000 mana in PvP gear and you'll be much much higher.
Of course I rarely duel with my paladin so my PvP gear is designed to help me live longer when in small group PvP while giving me a bit more healing power. And now that improved concentration aura really does give me the 15% chance to resist other players silence and interrupt attacks I can do it even better. I saved a live with a holy shock insta heal the other day. And holy shock is nice to help at least get a little damage when bastards get out of melee range (so has the longer range on judgements)
But I do wonder about the fast weapon judgement and seal of wisdom with blessing of wisdom (improved in my case) ticking away.
