The only classes I just can't bring down are healers, for I lack Mortal Strike. Prot owns in pvp.

Taking down healers is easy, you have lots of stuns and an interrupt. Only problem is when you face two healers, then you're a sitting duck.

Best part about prot pvp is you don't need pvp gear to 100% do it effectively. even a mitigation talent build can thrive in pvp under most situations. your weakness will be healers though. melee will not be able to kill you. mages/locks/priests/ele shammies, if not kept up on, will destroy you with their high crits though.
Unfortunately it does need some PvP/DPS gear.
When I started experimenting again after 3.0 I had nothing but my tanking gear on and lost to tons of classes. The Burst Dmg is not there, sure you have tons of avoidance and HP but it wont matter in the long run your hitting that warrior or rogue for literally nothing and the hits you land are marginalized by there ungodly amount of resilience. Sure your Shield Bash will hit hard but your more then likely missing that +hit that you need and you'll miss some of those slams.
I'm seriously contemplating taking piercing howl over shockwave then get it at 71. Namely because the only time I lose is when that arcane mage is kiting or I cant get that 2nd slam off while my autoblocker is on. If they stay stationary after popping the autoblocker and with the +hit you need and at least 800SBV I don't think any class can survive other than tanks.

For example, after your initial charge, a Warlock may attempt to immediately retaliate with a Death Coil. A Ret Paladin may open with Hammer of Justice to set up his burst combo.
But a timely reflection can turn the tables instantly, allowing you to either unload on him or go find a more pertinent target.
Ret Paladins are a hard kill for sure, however if you have all of your cooldown's there is no reason to lose to them. Shield Slam removes wings and you can disarm when all hell breaks loose, when he sets it up again you can use shield wall.
If you don't have your cool downs its gonna boils down to how good/geared they are versus your stuns/disarms.

Don't think anybody's mentioned it, but at 80 we also get Heroic Throw, which with Gag Order, can Silence, yet another interrupt for Prot warrior. Yay Prot!

In fact I can take down pallies and shamans with relative ease, but I am yet to kill a priest or a druid.
Druids, well they have nothing to interrupt, just sit there and casting HoTs and watching me getting killed by reinforcements.
Priests, well I get no rage when I try to bring their shield down, by the time I break it, Weakened Soul will have faded and they just recast the damn shield. If I manage to dispell it with Shield Slam, they just HoT until they can recast the damn shield.
