Prot Warrior PvP player here (for RBGS that is).

People play a tank specc in PvP for 2 reasons:

1) To make use of the enhanced control and survival of tanks to carry out specialist roles, such as carrying the flag, defending a base or controlling groups of players.

OR

2) To abuse Vengeance and drool over the keyboard while killing people in random bgs and thinking they are great PvPers.

I welcome this change to Vengeance, since it means dribbling morons cannot abuse a mechanic and be jerks in Arena or BGs.

I repeat: The role of tanks in PvP is a specialist role, revolving around survival and control. Not hitting people for 30k+ Deathstrikes / Avenger's Shield / Shield Slams / Mangles.
