PvE protection warrior is very viable as PvP main

I hope that before the next time you decide to create a thread, proclaiming that you have knowledge of something (and potentially misleading others) that you actually learn what the hell you're talking about first.

He made one mistake. The rest of the information was accurate and based on his findings. I see no reason for your aggression towards him.

I wouldn't say its accurate. If you came up to a Warrior w/ shield and 4 Shammies, you've gotta be pretty stupid to start whacking on the Warrior. It's pretty silly to assume that since hes in front (by 2 yards?) that most people will attack him only.

I wasn't claiming that it was accurate, that's why I didn't add anything to the wiki pages and decided to open a topic about it to get more input.
I can only talk from my experience, and that is that mostly my main gets attacked. Close-combat attacks are generally on one of the shamans(probably because melee classes know the difference between cloth and plate better :P), but most people don't dare to close-combat me because most are dead before they get to doing so. So, from experience it's accurate to say that opponents mostly attack my leader.

On the other hand, if they don't attack my warrior, it is also a benefit, since I can more easily micro-manage everything because I don't have to switch to another character as quickly. So either way it's a win.

Many people in battlegrounds *are* pretty clueless, but it's true that melee classes seem to tend to target the shamans more than they target the warrior.
"OMG he's AFK! Report him!" while you're on defense is one of my favorites, especially when you're the only one who captured and held a flag for the entire game.
