My priest and I got in a few games, we beat our first legit 2k team -- we had them twice. The first time we nearly won

Resto sham, mage, warrior, holy paladin and I forget the 5th -- first time we killed the warrior and paladin but the mage just kept my healer tied up with polys and counter spells and we lost -- we lost 2pts, they gained 1 or 2... then we lost to a 1600 team.. I mean, wow I couldn't believe it, the rogue got knocked out of stealth from my magma totems and used vanish.

Anyhow, so next game I accidently pop hero during the prep, it fades right as the match starts and its the 2200 team again. I remembered that the mage was the key this time and used my trinket to get out of nice nova, purged him and popped him, after that it was easy. They lost 22 points and we gained 21 points - I bet they were pissed!

Oh man, since I've found the right healer for me its totally changed my out look on arenas, now I feel like gladiator is totally possible.

So I've decided to get the trinket but only once I have my weapon/shield -- before then the loss of 95 resil could be counter productive but replacing PvE weapons/shields with PvP relentless ones will make up for that.

Also, I don't have any professions... its not really the cost but rather the time but I was thinking about mining and engineering - does the pyro rocket glove thing have a GCD? The extra 600 HP from mining wouldn't hurt and its cheaper then doing enchanting or jewel crafting for minor +SP increases.
