Most annoying healer

In pvp the goal is to kill the other player. I wanna be a jerk and deny people their kills, hence I wanna go healer for pvp. As such I was thinking about going druid, as the class has a good history of being annoying to kill with all the instant casts. Is this still true? I see a lot of disc priests too, but are they better or about the same.
I have some experience in pvp but not a whole lot and certainly not with healing.

Hmm so far one thinks the same as me, druid and two responded by disc priest. Does anyone have some arguments to back up or explain the difference between the two classes. And why its so hard to kill one and how one can be beated?

Depends on your goal. If your looking to have 10 people in a bg scream at their laptops for about 30 seconds...pali. Prot in healing gear is still extremely good at ^&*!ing everyone off.
If your looking to make 1 guy at a time seriously consider throwing their laptop through a wall...first pick the class you hate the most. If its rogue, warrior, or pretty much any melee, then the class you want is resto shaman. Put your back against a wall, and watch your parry dodge block throw them into a fit of rage. pop earth shield. maybe heal. melee them because its funny.
If your more out to seriously $%^& off casters, go with resto druid or priest. Druids excell at LoS interupts...and priests are really just there to irritate anyone that cant throw up huge numbers. Plus there arent a whole lot of caster interupts for your heals.
Playstyle is huge. But most of all, healers are meant to out heal raid bosses. Until you encounter a warrior with a 25k cleave, any healer is going to enrage and frustrate.

Thanks for the responses.
I've tried playing a resto shaman (even began an attempt at a guide at it). But even though you seem succesfull (judging by your enthusiasm about the class) I just couldn't get it to work.
You claim being interupted is hardly a problem, it sure was a problem for me ;) Problem being is that most interupts are off the gcd, but even with that I am usually able to overpower shaman with my warrior.
Guess shaman just doesnt work for me.
Pally is kinda out for me too, Already have mine dedicated to pve with two specs and can't trio-spec, darn blizz.
That's why its druid/priest for me. So far druid seems most appealing to me, but dont stop arguing the case just because of that ;)

Disc priest is more annoying imo. Even though they can get slowed easily (cripp poison, hamstring, etc) and have limited mobility compared to the others..they can't get banished like resto druids can.
One of the most annoying things as a resto druid is to get banished by a warlock then immediately sheeped by a mage. >:(

I'm not a hardcore pvper, I don't think I've broken 1200 rating.
But resto druids are the biggest pain in the ass for me (I play Resto Shaman, with a feral druid for a partner).
I can Hex paladins, priests and shamans. I can't hex trees.
I can interrupt paladins, priests and shamans. I can't interrupt instacast hots.
I can purge the small amount of buffs that paladins, priests and shamans give. By the time I've casted Purge once, a tree already has 4 more hots on his target.
Paladins have no CC. Tremor totem takes care of Priest fear (every, what, minute?). Hex is on a 45 sec cooldown, easy enough to deal with Shamans. Druids can Cyclone me whenever they want.
A Frost Shock on a paladin or priest will keep them slowed, period. A shaman has to ghost wolf to get out of the slowing effect (and can't cast while shifted). A druid can shift out and shift back into tree to get out of the slowing effect.

lol, what? um druids cant be polymorphed..... not to mention that it only works on humanoids, so a mage cant sheep a tree.
They can be polymorphed after being banished in treeform. Sure, they can switch to another form to break the polymorph, but it's still frustrating either way.
