Pvp healers

[Kron]

I have no experience as a healer, but as a dps against healer, the one who annoys me most is the damn monk because of its passive 'anti-stun', which has screwed my burst many times when some numbs can't manage their stun properly. And not even mentioning its 'aoe disarm-silence'... annoying as hell.

Plus, in flag-bgs, they can be really troublesome.

As somebody who plays all the healer classes I have to add that monk is by far the easiest. It is practically immortal, I hit 2k+ with it while I was 500 ilvl (when 522 was max), it has excellent mana control and very strong heals/shields. The only weakness is cc but not many people know how to actually cc so if you're good at it, you can beat any combo.
And what the hell made anybody here think that disc is a bad healer? Sure the shields can be dispelled but they practically have no cd and purge costs a lot of mana so it's not exactly affordable. As Mayfire said, the shields are very strong, it has good cc and decent heals as well, I'd even dare put it as the second best. And holy priest sucks in arena, it simply cannot heal enough, can easily be nuked down by any above average dps.
Also WolfCD, retail means NOTHING here, seriously, who cares about retail, we're talking about warmane healers. I've only seen only holy priest above 2k, and I forgot his name...

This last part is the reason why I don't really attach much importance to whether disc is **** on here.

Although I need to say something about disc: it's more than just purges which kill it. Battle fatigue affecting shield amount, the need to cast in order to build up shields. Disc isn't like other classes where they can sit cc and still he able to heal via hots or be able to top up their team quickly after the cc or have instants that top up their team (orbs/hw serenity/EF). That is what made it weak in retail. But as I said, it was retail, not warmane where everything is not always up to expectations (skill cap, bugged spells). So, just play whatever you like, it will be fine.
