Somewhat new to healing in PvP and here's how I feel about it.

Healing in PvP is extremely fun, but also extremely frustrating and stressful. I used to never pay healers any attention in PvP but now that I've been in their shoes I can honestly say props to you guys for sticking it through. I have never been more annoyed on any role than I have with healing. Healing is amazing when you have a team with half a brain, but we know that this is rarely the case. The most annoying thing about healing is that you'll peel for someone who is about to die and you'll heal them back up, but when the tables are turned and you get focused by everyone and their brother, your DPS goes and does there own thing leaving you on your own and when they die they want to get salty with you like it's your fault they died.

See healing is great, but dealing with the people you're trying to heal is not. Some words of wisdom for you DPS people out there, if you want heals, peel for your healer. Don't let them get focused by 5 people and then complain because they can't heal you or because they had to run away. Healers are not invincible, they die just as fast as you if stun and silenced enough. I've learned quite a lot from playing as a healer that made me change my outlook on healers and the people who play them all together. Healing is not an easy job at all and that job is made 10x harder when you have "teammates" who are full of derp. See, one DPS in a BG can be terrible or just not try and get by with it, healing is a completely different story.

This post may be pointless, but I just thought I'd share my experience with you all :P

TL;DR: Healing is amazing, but unappreciated. It's also stressful and annoying at times depending on your teammates.

I'd rather play something that's not broken and earn my bragging rights. That's the problem with Warmane, everyone roll's the most OP class/spec...

lol if you ask a monk, they'll tell you that their class is negatively bugged and should be even better.

Not really unappreciated, considering it's next to impossible to hit highest ranks in arena (it's obvious for rbgs) without a healer, so in any kind of competitive pvp (and I curse Blizzard about it)... Think about it.
Even in 2v2, I saw the worst warrior ever on 2.1k who beat us solely because his priest carried him (note: I play double dps comp)
EDIT: Thumbs up for ODB!

He's probably only killed lower geared monks. I challenge any warrior to record himself beating a full geared mw monk and post it here on the forums. If a monk dies to a warrior, he's a nab, period.
