Allowing Spell Reflection in Battle Stance?

Would this be too over powered?
It would help quite a bit for warrior survivability, even against death knights and ret paladins.

Ah yeah i forgot u can now use it in battle. Its still the messing around with switching weapons twice which triggers the global cooldown which is annoying.
I guess making it possible with a 2h sword would be balanced vs paladin and dk but probably over powered vs proper casters.
Another thing is disarm, in pvp iy last 5 seconds but costs you 4.5 seconds (3 global cooldowns) because of changing stance casting it then changing back to battle so you get yourself a whole 0.5 seconds to cast something. Warriors are so clunky with rage requirements and %^&*ing about with changing weapons and stances.

Hm i think your right kladde i didnt realise that before. Nevermind blizzard seems to want pvp to be about burst and damage rather than utility and counters and thats just the way the game is.

The stances are on seperate, 1secs, gcds.
It would be: Def Stance, Disarm (can be done instant but starts the normal GCD on 1.5sec), 1sec gcd(stance gcd) to enter battlestance again. 2.5sec total GCD.
I'm sure most warriors have done the Charge/stance change either from battle stance to def as prot (pre warbringer) or from zerkstance to battle as arms.

Ah i got a macro sorted for it well 2 macros
1st /cast Defensive stance
/cast Disarm
2nd /cast Disarm
/cast Battle Stance
If u put these on the tooltip thing that changes as u change stance u can just spam it and be back in battle stance right after the global cooldown from casting disarm so easy =D

No no and a thousand times no. Macro is called like a "macro" because it allows multitasking, what you have wrote here is by no means a multitasking its multimacroig. Should look like this:
#show disarm
/cast Disarm; Defensive stance
/cast Battle stance
This actually alows you to put it elsewhere than on a main panel (do you have a spot there for things with 60s cd? i dont).
Similar thing should be done with spellreflect macro:
#show spellreflection
/equip Your 1-hander
/equip Your shield
/cast Battle stance
/cast Spell reflection
/equip Your 2 hander

Ah thank you =D
I was wondering is there any way to make the macro so you wont accidently go back into defensive stance after disarming(if your spamming it a bit), so when disarm is on cooldown the macro becomes inactive?

I dont think there is any. Just dont spam it as much.

I use:
#showtooltip Spell Reflection
/cast Spell Reflection; Defensive Stance
/equip Cryptfiend's Bite
/equip Iron Coffin Lid
/equipslot 16 crescent of brooding fury
its still a pain in the ass to use. i have to spam the hell out of it to work,
click (or shortcut) once, equips one hander
second click, puts a shield on
third casts spell reflect.. and keep ur fingers crossed u have the rage to do it.
Then having to CLICK on it to get ur 2 hander back. being melee just does give u the chance to CLICK on things... come on blizzard...
Most spells cast in around 1.5 - 2.5 seconds avarage, using this macro takes about 1 second, (literaly) and by the time u react to cast it could be .5 a second. honestly its just not doing it purpuse. I think it would be better if Blizzard made the Arms verison of spell reflect, were u only need your 2 hander to maybe not reflect it back to the caster but smaking the spell to the sky or w.e. would be a nice counter-move thats not OP and makes sense.
This is my first and last 80 char (i dont have the patience to level) so ive never played other classes above level 15. Are they that macro dependent as warriors?

To be honest id be happy with a 1 seconds cast in battle stance just cos then i dont have to worry about something going wrong with weapons and stances like ending up in battle with 1h + shield.
