Am i missing somethign in arena's?`

[:1]Here's my history-Rogue, assasination, roughly 3k resilience, jsut passed 1550 rating

Been 2v2 past few weeks, started with a warrior, then a ret paladin, and last night started with a disc priest.

Warrior and paladin duoing was pretty simple, it all came down to dps and control, we'd win some we'd lose some. Fights would be over sub 5 minutes.

If we came against a healer things would be trickier but by ganging up on the healer, not too much of a problem.

Now, last night, with the priest we did quite well. What i was noticing as we went from 1100-1500 there was a hell of a lot more healers. Fair enough, but arena matches turned into 20+ minutes of seeing who had the largest mana pool/ best regen

Is this the way its supposed to be? i didnt have the dps to take down the dps class while keeping the healer occupied. I dont know much about disc priests and if he should be dealing much damage, i mostly saw heals and psychic screams going off.

Have i hit a brick wall due to gearing? or are all 1500+ matches long winded? dont get me wrong, getting zerged in sub minute is rubbish, but long drawn out duels are painful.

maybe its because im not that good at pvp or its a combination of lots of things.

Really interested to hear your experience|||one of the most frustrating matches I ever had was as rogue / holy pala against a resto druid / warrior team.

Neither side really had the upper hand and just when we thought we had one nearly down, I would get rooted / banished / stunned just long enough for the druid to heal up to full, usually with an innervate just to rub it in.

After 48 minutes, the server declared a draw and we all lost 12 rating point - grrr.

2 games later, we had the same team - I was sooo tempted to just leave and take the loss, rather than go through that again. We decided to give it a go and went all out on the druid, using all CDs, re-stealthing and, with the help of a few lucky crits, he went down in about 5 seconds or so - that was veeery sweet.

I think that 1 healer with dps makes 2v2 last the longest. Disc priests are quite useful atm, being able to remove a lot of CC, as well as their damned psychic scream - also, their shields and buffs are helpful. They're clothies, but don't expect an easy kill.

I still don't like druids :-)|||nooo

in bgs and arenas i hate going for priests, they last forever :S

even after 20 odd minutes my head is done in :S

i looked at my talents and have decided to remove talents which reduce incoming damage and self heal and buff any talents which can yield dps, thsi will mean ill either kill my targets faster or lose quicker...
