I can only speak for Prot Paladin.
However, Avenging Shield that is able to interrupt/silence spells (and possibly daze them if you glyph it) comes in handy quite a bit, + all the utility of everything a Prot Paladin has.
I played a Prot Paladin for pvp before the wipe. The utility is great, they hit decently hard, and they seem more anti-caster than a Warrior, at least in my opinion.
Prot Warrior is anti-everything. CC's from hell.Quote:

100% arp full pve geared prot warr might even be the hardest hitting class ingame but also dies quite fast.
Prot is also very viable on a high arena rating.
Prot pala is the king in killing melee opponents. Unless the enemy kites he has absolutely no chance to beat a prot pala.
On the other hand prot pala is very vulnerable to kiting and can run out of mana.
When it comes to arena i dont really see the reason to go prot. Ret can pull the same if not more dmg and is the better supporter.
I got both classes with bis gear. Warrior is better in arena ONLY if u know how to play and u gotta be super patient also. Arms war Hpala vs Prot war Hpala can easily be a long *** match, any healer/dps comp for that matter. In bg's as prot war its rly fun at start but it got frustrating/boring really fast. No crits, gg. Also u gotta be bis to perform good tbh. And if u sacrifise some Pve dmg parts for more resi u will see the difference instantly that ur not hitting nearly as much as u want ><. 100%arp>crit>str. with twilight scale + dbw
Prot pala is way easier with insane defensives/self heals(change to seal of light in some scenarios and 1weapon swing can heal up to 2k). 30sec cd on hoj and avenging wrath, can kill healers quite easily with wings, silence + stun combo, what a ret pala nor war cant do. Ur dmg also doesnt rely on getting crits, even without crits prot palas dmg is really high but when u crit(palas crit quite often) its just insane. Going oom and some struggle vs casters are cons . In arena with rsham is really fun and the comp is really powerful. In bgs its really tanky vs melees and u can easily 1vx melee classes, will struggle vs any caster except ele shamans gets destroyed. U can also play high resilience and ur dmg will still remain good.
Tldr prot pala for both arena and bg. But If u still want to prot war then expect to be disappointed, when u dont crit for 20sec :d Got rank 5 with 95% win score as prot war hpala and when ur in one of thouse long games u wish u were specced arms instead
Prot pala+resto shaman > Prot warrior+any healer
p.s. prot warrior is more viable in 3v3, while prot paladin being complete garbage in3v3 bracket
