Unfortunately Greatbrae there isn't a standard cookie cutter prot dps based build for pvp simply because the idea is largely in its infancy, not to say some people don't excel at it or havent taken it far, but as far as the general player base goes, it isnt an accepted "norm".
At present i'm running;
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#sZVGdhrzghsIufdVfMobc:RMLcVz and it is awesome, i can take down up to 4 melee opponents depening on gear/skill at once (yes pvp geared ones, not scrubs in greens) regardless of class - thoughh rogues are most certainly the most fun, HotR does most of the work.
Run with SoB, Kings, RF and Sacred sheild up. Hit ShotR every 6 seconds and HotR too...
go stun mad with 20 second HoJ's that extra 5 yards is ace...
Glyphed ShotR costs a meagre 26 mana so even if you are drained, you can still slam somone with 6K+...
Glyphed AS crits for upwards of 8K sometimes providing some immense burst potential...
Careful of chaining HotR crits, sometimes the backlash damage is very nasty on 3x SoB crits...
Reckoning is at a near 100% uptime so even your white swings which should be at c. 800-1K can actually deal some decent dmg over the course of a fight, especially when combined with SoB.
If you have a healer or pair with one for arena grab SA and/or imp devo aura... just my 2c. gogo prot pallies!
P.S. ignore what i said in the earlier post in this thread, was pvping in a PvE spec, this one i posted above has seen far better results... run in a mix of High BV gear and ret pvp stuff, try to get Str > Ap on your gear as it adds to ShotR, the bread and butter of your attacks.
