Excerpt from the YouTube video description:
This HD video is narrated footage of my 85 Protection Paladin in Cataclysm Patch v4.0.3a in a Battle for Gilneas battleground (queued solo). I discuss the spec’s burst chain capability (assuming procs) and survivability with no healing support.
This is my 7th Prot PVP video since 4.0 launched and my 2nd at 85 in Cataclysm. As of this video I have assembled a “baseline” set of 85 PVP gear :)
For detailed information about Prot PVP, check out my PVP Guide:

Please post feedback / questions / comments. Thanks!
Great stuff. Really insightful. Prot PVP is challenging and hence more enjoyable than holy or ret! It’s nice to live outside the box… hope to post a video response someday. cheers.
p.s. any validity in running 2 points in guardian’s favor?
GF isn’t a bad talent, but the question is what other talent would you drop to free up 2 points for it?
So I’d pass on it.
If you ever post a video, definitely let me know :)
Do you still have your old druid information? I don’t know if you kept the macros that you came up with or not. if you do, think you could email me the text file? I’m talking about all the bear form info that you had on the forums before they went belly-up.
Hi Arioth!
Yea, I keep everything like that around.
Druid, esp Feral spec, is IMO one of the more complex specs due to the high number of abilities.
Hope this helps.
