Is protection pally's dead?

but generally I've noticed that one patch isn't enough to ruin a spec

spell power is spell power /shrug, palis are fast, hit fairly hard with most specs, and have that god forsaken hammer of game over. plus it doesnt really matter if you dont do chart topping damage, when you CAN NOT DIE...at some point the other team runs out of mana...or hp...and its over. Meanwhile, the prot pali is gaining mana from getting kicked in the face.

I ran wintergrasp yesterday with a few co workers that play wow, and im finally starting to bring the paladin closer to my way of thinking that they are a little out of control. He took on three rogues while they had 5 stacks of tenacity, and they couldnt down him with one of our more mediocre friends healing him. Of course in an arena they would of just nuked the healer and drove on...had he not been another pali of course :)

No, prot pallys really are hard to kill, I have had easily 10+ players on me and survived for over a minute. There was a mix of casters and everything, but with my massive health pool and low damage intake combined with Ardent defender, glyph of hand of salvation, Lay on Hands, Divine shield + healing myself, and a mana potion after healing, I am unstoppable for a very long time.

No one can say a prot pally cannot hit hard, If i pop wings and throw my glyphed Avengers sheild, you are hit for 7k+ and are basicly a sitting duck waiting to be face rolled by stuns and silences. I had won many fight with my enemy stuned and silenced for the duration of the entire fight, and they were by no means noobs, I this had many lucky prots of Seal of Justice.

I am not really seeing prot/holy as a dead spec, just not ask powerful. Personally I play prot/ret and love it.

Case in point - http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Blood+Furnace&n=Mathelois <not me>

Its in many teams that are in my arena range, all be it low right now, I often can kill 2 people solo if the healers dead.

Now actually killing the healer is another thing. IMO 3 prot/ret palis would eat things.

Not exactly in line with all the other posts but the op was asking.
