At some point you have to consider that the problem is you and not the class you're playing, nor the game design.
I probably agree that burst should be toned down in PvP (even though you originally seemed to be complaining that you don't have
enough
burst); however, I absolutely do not think Ret Pallies are hurting in this area.
I main an Ele Shaman, so I'll just use it as an example and point of comparison. First of all if you've got 800 resilience you shouldn't be getting crit for a 9k Lava Burst unless the Shaman is in some insane PvE gear or something. My character is still working on his gear, and is at about 600 res, and he gets hit for 9k Lava Bursts - from fully decked out PvP Shamans. So your numbers strike me as being exaggerated.
But putting that aside, you can't make such simple comparisons between classes. Yeah, Lava Burst is great. Know what else is great? Playing melee in PvP. I wish all I had to do was stay in range and spam instants to do my damage - like a Ret Pally. I mean, they just run up, I get stunned for an eternity, my screen fills with white holy magic, and I go splat. They then move on to the next victim. Nothing but instant attacks and short cooldowns. There are exactly two abilities that counter your bubble, and even once it's been countered you've still just cleared any spells that were on you, and probably got off at least one heal - or (usually the case) continued to attack your target through the bubble allowing you to finish the kill, even if you die. Actually there are few things more enfuriating in this game than being attacked by a Ret Pally from behind an invincibility bubble.
The grass is always greener my friend. Ret Pallies have no less burst than any of the other bursty classes in PvP. And if anything they are probably more faceroll-able than most. I don't think you know how easy you have it.

Try playing an aff lock or a spriest and get back to me about burst. Half an hour arena matches aren't fun.

Amazing. A retardadin QQing about PvP. You sir are bad. Uninstall WoW right now.
Paladins in general are like the elementary dumbass mode for kids.

Elemental shaman - lava burst crits too much,
can't dispel flame shock if you already have 5+ debuffs on you
, it crits for 9-11k on 800 resi assuming you are good geared, thunderstormed off a ledge, eat a 10k lava burst, GG.
Explain? I can think of
two
and
one
of those isn't dispellable.
Tell me if I forgot anything.

Well judging by your 2.2K rating and gear, you seem to know what you are doing. So based on the assumption you are not a bad player...
First off, a rets time with resto druids is no harder than any other classes time with them tbh, at least your not a rogue and could kill yourslef on thorns :)
Secondly, we all know destro burst is absolutely siick and its backed up by the amount of set-up they need etc. This is again something which lots of people complain about - again not unique to rets.
Frost Mage; well to them you are a melee steam-train with the so much hated BoFreedom... unless you are ebing seriously out-skilled its not gonna be all that one sided as you're making out.
Some of your other gripes are well founded, like those about DK's, hell we all hate DK's...
But try to see the flipside of the coin, you are bound to have your anti-class(es) out there, feral druid comes to mind for you, but i bet you can see some classes and just think "ohh free HK".
Oh and the deal with healers... if they were as easy to kill as dps were, it would hardly be fair for them now would it. Gotta group up to take em down generally, thats just the way of the world :)

On further inspection, you haven't won a single arena match on any of your characters, you are the bad scrub here, and calling me bad is laughable.
Yeah, because arena is totally skill (almost as much as ret)...that misconception is laughable, and so are you.
Bubblehearth and skillstorm moar. Another idiotadin arguement voided and null.
LOL you talk like its an effort to get a 2k+ rating with a ret pally...well...maybe if you have downs syndrome.

If you are caught pants down without trinket or a healer and a pack of enemies come at you including ret paladins, ofc you are gonna die, any class can come at you and do that.
You do realize it is like that with any class, right. Usually if you are by yourself against a group of enemy players you are not going to win (especially if you blew all your cooldowns). A pally will last longer than most though. And usually in that situation you can only try to cause as much damage as possible or survive long enough for help to arrive.
Seriously your qqing is dumb. It reads like, "Buff my class and nerf these classes so I can succeed in pvp more than I already do."
Two classes have a counter to your bubble. Big fricken deal. Someone needs to have a counter to it.

I have a four year old daughter that QQ's less then some people on these forums.
Is that why you have a ret pally? I imagine it may require some skill for a four year old...but hitting 123 over and over, i don't know...
Why do you think the FAQ thread in your class forum says "HURF DURF" at the top? LOL

You say your highest burst is 5-7k. But your forgetting you have a passive seal every time you hit the target, that adds up allot. Plus you then have ranged judgments after they get out of range. 5-7k isnt small damage anyway.
Then you have bubble and sacred shield giving you a power word shield every 6 seconds. You have incredible utility and immunities dispels that no one else gets on top of this.
Ret paladins have nothing to complains about, they need a nerf in my view to make them require a brain.
